The sales price isn't what you keep. We reveal the hidden fees and closing costs that reduce your final profit.
1. The Commission (6%)
This is the big one. On a $300k sale, $18,000 goes immediately to the agents.
2. Closing Costs (2-4%)
Sellers in Florida often pay for the title search, documentary stamps, and recording fees. That's another $6,000 - $9,000 gone.
3. Repair Credits (1-2%)
After the inspection, the buyer will likely ask for a credit to fix the roof or electrical. That's another $3,000 - $5,000 off the price.
4. Holding Costs
While the house sits on the market for 4 months, you are still paying the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities. That can easily add up to $5,000+.
Total Hit: You might lose 10-12% of the sale price in fees. A cash offer has zero fees, meaning our offer is effectively 10-12% higher than it looks compared to a retail listing.
The Little Things Add Up
Beyond commissions, you'll likely pay for staging, photography, and pest inspections. These 'extras' chip away at your bottom line.
No Guarantees
Even after spending thousands prepping the home, there's no guarantee your buyer won't back out due to financing or inspection issues. A cash offer eliminates those uncertainties.
Immediate Relief
A cash sale means no more monthly payments, and you avoid the emotional rollercoaster of deals falling through. Your moving plans aren't tied to a buyer's schedule.
