3 Home-Selling Costs You Need To Know

By John Wesley Walker II

We love serving our clients and making their goals possible! Our goal with every transaction is to build a relationship to make sure that our clients wants and needs are met. We pride ourselves on communication and quick action. Don't settle on average marketing and advertising when it comes to selling your property. Don't settle for an average agent that only sells 3-4 homes a year. You deserve an agent that knows the market and how to get the best results. Our team will do everything we can to exceed your expectations!

If you’re wondering how much selling your home in Louisiana will cost you, don’t worry—The Walker Group has you covered. Today, I’m breaking down the three types of home-selling expenses in Louisiana to help you prepare for the open market:

1. Real estate commissions. Selling a home is no easy task, and having a Realtor by your side from the planning stage to closing is crucial to ensure a smooth selling process. A lot of home sellers tend to worry that an agent’s commission will be steep, but real estate commissions are actually negotiable. Realtor’s fees will also vary depending on what they offer, so it’s important to discuss this with your prospective agents.

2. Attorney fees. When selling a home in Louisiana, you will be required to close the deal with a real estate attorney to make sure that everything is on record legally. Attorney fees may range from $300 or $400.

3. Negotiable fees. These include termite inspections, septic tank pump outs, home warranties, and closing costs, among others. Negotiable fees will also depend on the status of the home, but you or your Realtor can negotiate this with the buyer so that it’s a win-win situation for both parties.

If you’re planning to sell your home, feel free to reach out to us by phone or message and we’ll schedule a meeting where we will go over every detail in your home-selling journey—we’d love to be a part of it.
