Austin,Wimberley and Dripping Springs Real Estate

For Sellers


Selling your home shouldn't be a stressful ordeal. I will consult with you on a one time-for fee basis to tell you what you need to do to sell your home yourself. My services and experience allow you to focus on your move, while I manage your home sale from our initial consultation to the closing deal and beyond. I pride myself on repeat business and hope you'll come to understand why.
This spring-2010, I'm announcing my new aggressive commission plan to help sellers maximize their profits at the closing table and/or increase their negotiating power!  No strings attached, no loss of services, just my committment to help my sellers meet their ultimate goals by reducing the commission that increases their closing costs!

Getting the Highest Price for Your Home

Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. I have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.

Closing Costs to Expect:
  • Title insurance fees depend on the sales price of the home.
  • Broker's commission is a full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 5% to 7%.
  • Local property transfer tax, county transfer tax, state transfer tax, and state capital gains tax are the charges that you'll pay for the privilege of selling your home. Credit to the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due.
  • FHA fees and costs are all fees that are now negotiable between an FHA buyer and seller.
  • Home inspections fees are in some circumstances paid for by the seller and include pest, radon and other inspections.
  • Miscellaneous fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.
