Hello fellow “home owners”,
Yep, this is the one that you are going to love! The cost of selling your home. Some of you have probably sold and brought and have some understanding, but for those of you that haven’t…… here we go.
Step #7 Cost of Selling
There are several costs associated with selling your home. We’ve touched on a major cost in Step #5 with Commission to the agent. The other costs include, advertising/marketing, investment taxes, photography, valuation and building and pest.
- The Agent will discuss with you all costs. You need to make sure that you completely understand what is been presented to you. If in doubt, ask the question.
- Depending upon your home and the marketing involved to cast the net wide this can be anywhere from $1000 up to $30,000. The biggest cost of advertising is print advertising. You can pick yourself up off the floor You would be surprised to hear that paper advertising is growing at a rapid rate on the Sunshine Coast and I have no doubt that you seen “My Weekly Preview” – it is very impressive. There is a strategy around this and happy to discuss further.
- A good agent can add 10% onto the sale price of your home, a good agent will be clear on the fees involved. A good agent will help you with access to tradesman etc if required as they often know quality trades at competitive prices amongst other things. A good agent is proactive, not reactive and will work with you right up until settlement and beyond.
