Sellers often focus on their home’s sale price, but closing costs can significantly impact net proceeds. Here are common expenses:

• Agent Commissions – Typically 5–6% of the sale price, split between your agent and the buyer’s agent.
• Title & Escrow Fees – Costs for managing the transaction, title insurance, and legal paperwork.
• Prorated Property Taxes – You’ll pay your share of the year’s taxes up to the closing date.
• Repairs or Credits – If negotiated after inspection, these may be included in closing costs.
• Concessions – You may agree to help with the buyer’s closing costs as part of the deal.

Knowing these costs upfront helps you plan your next move with clarity and confidence.
