💰 Closing Costs for Sellers, Broken Down
Most sellers assume closing costs come straight out of pocket, but they're usually deducted from your profit at the sale. Here's what typically factors in:
🏠 Real estate commissions (usually the biggest chunk)
📄 Title insurance & escrow fees
🏛️ Transfer taxes
📋 Prorated property taxes
🔧 Any agreed upon repairs or credits to the buyer
If you have low equity, you may need to bring some cash to the table to cover these. Knowing what to expect ahead of time means no surprises at the closing table! 🔑
