Don’t Sell Your Home Until You Read This!
If you’re thinking about cashing out, here’s how to keep more of your money:
What you pay your listing broker is not set by law. It is fully negotiable, and your listing agreement must clearly disclose—in writing—the exact compensation your broker will receive.
As a seller, you are not obligated to compensate the buyer’s broker. You may choose to offer compensation to make your home more competitive, but it is completely optional. If you do offer it, it must be clearly stated in writing.
You can offer seller concessions to help buyers cover closing costs, appraisal fees, or even HOA fees. These incentives are powerful, and fully negotiable.
Used correctly, these strategies can significantly improve your net proceeds.
I’m here to guide you through these updated rules and ensure a smooth, informed, and transparent selling experience from start to finish.
