Get the Highest Price for Your Home
Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. I have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.
- Title insurance fees - depend on the sales price of the home.
- Broker's commission - a full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 5 to 7 percent.
- Local property transfer tax, country transfer tax, state transfer tax, and state capital gains tax - the charges that you'll pay for the privilege of selling your home. Credit to the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due.
- FHA fees and costs are all fees - now these are negotiable between an FHA buyer and seller.
- Home inspections fees - in some circumstances paid for by the seller and include pest, radon and other inspections.
- Miscellaneous fees - can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.
- Property taxes - may not yet have been paid by your lender from escrow and balance could be due at settlement.
