The Hidden Costs of Traditional Home Sales

Agent commissions are just the beginning. When you sell through traditional channels there are often a number of hidden costs that can erode your bottom line.

Preparation and Repairs

To attract buyers, sellers often need to invest in repairs, staging and landscaping to make their property market ready. These upfront costs can add up quickly.

Holding Costs

While your home is on the market you continue to incur mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. A lengthy selling process increases these holding expenses.

Concessions and Closing Costs

Buyers frequently request concessions for repairs or closing costs, further reducing your net proceeds. Working with an investor like Flip Forge Pro eliminates many of these hidden expenses.
