Home Selling Closing Costs


Yes, there are home selling closing costs. The major cost of selling your home is the real estate commission that typically ranges from 2% to 5% of the selling price. However, you can negotiate the commission. Before you sign a listing contract with a real estate representative, ask for written details of the marketing plan (advertising, open house, flyers to other agents and the public). It is also possible to sell for a flat fee.
