Understand your Costs
Before you decide to sell your home, make sure you understand all the costs that are typically associated with the home sale. This will help you understand how we offer a better deal for home sellers by cutting out the middlemen.
Seller fees
In a traditional sale, the seller pays commission fees for both their agent (the “listing agent”) and the buyer’s agent. Traditional commission is 6% of the sale price, which is split between the listing agent and the buyer’s agent, but this can vary and is negotiable. When you sell to EasyHomeBuyer there we do NOT charge any Seller Fees.
Repairs
In a traditional sale, after you’ve agreed to an offer, the buyer will typically have the home inspected for any defects. Buyers may ask you to make any repairs yourself, or they might request a credit equal to their expected costs of making the repairs. Negotiating repairs can be a headache, and the costs are difficult to predict upfront because every buyer is different.
When you sell to EasyHomeBuyer, you don’t need to list your home to get an offer, so you don’t need to invest in repairs or get your home “show ready”. Instead, you simply request an offer and then we send our Construction Manager to provide you a free home value assessment based on the current condition of your home. We’ll always be ready to buy your home as is, but if you prefer so, you can always make any repairs and get a better home value assessment from us. With EasyHomeBuyer you have the freedom to make repairs or to skip them!
Closing costs
Closing is the final step of selling a home when money and documents change hands in order to transfer ownership of the property to the buyer. Closing costs cover items like title insurance, escrow fees, and HOA transfer fees. They typically range from 1% to 4% of the purchase price based on the different fees and legal requirements for each state and municipality.
Closing costs are part of every home sale, including selling to EasyHomeBuyer. You’ll see your estimated closing costs when you receive your offer.
In a traditional sale, you’ll typically need to make your home “show ready” to attract buyers. Paying to stage your home isn’t required, but it’s often recommended. This includes cleaning and decluttering your home, paying storage fees for furniture you need to hide away, and any cosmetic touch-ups like fresh paint, new carpet, or updated fixtures and appliances.
When you choose EasyHomeBuyer, there is no staging, storage, prep or any such costs. We’re always ready to buy your home as-is!
Seller Credits
In a traditional sale, buyers often ask sellers to cover costs such as inspection fees, processing fees, transfer taxes and even agent commissions. This is one reason why the highest purchase price isn’t always the best offer.
When you sell to EasyHomeBuyer, you don’t have to worry about any such concessions. You get the certainty of a competitive offer without having to pay extra to “sweeten the deal”.
In a traditional sale, timelines almost never align perfectly. It’s easy to overlook the costs for temporary housing or a double mortgage. You may also need to pay storage fees and extra moving costs. And if you end up holding your old home for a period of time, you’ll still be responsible for property taxes, mortgage payments, HOA free, utility costs and insurance.
When you choose EasyHomeBuyer, you control your timeline. We work with you to provide the best closing date. Maybe you need a few extra weeks after you sell your house? We can provide post closing possession until your scheduled move.
With EasyHomeBuyer, you can line up your closing dates and avoid the extra costs of short-term housing, storage and holding costs during the transition period.
