You might think that haggling is only effective for smallticket items you find at a yard sale or flea market. The truth is, even your dream home’s price is open for negotiation.

PAGE A5  Friday, December 6, 2019

One of the keys to understanding where to start with bargaining is doing your research on the front end.

The more you know about your potential home and market, the better positioned you’ll be to barter with the home’s sellers.

Think OuTside The BOx if the home you’re considering is in a desirable market with limited inventory around it for sale, you may find that it’s more difficult to move the seller off the initial asking price. if this is the case, all is not lost.

Work with your Realtor to think creatively. negotiation doesn’t always have to focus on the final asking price. Requesting the seller to pick up more of the closing or inspection costs or asking them to leave furniture can also be negotiated during the final phases of the transaction.

selling? Timing is everything

common sense may tell you that spring is the best time to put your home on the market, but the data tells us buyers are willing to purchase a home at any time during the year if the price is right and it fits their needs.

But a key question remains: When exactly should you put your home on the market if you want to get the highest price? There are many factors to consider when selling your home, from the weather to home inventory to local ordinances.

Work with your real estate brokers to understand when to sell your home. They will have insights on your local market that can help you determine the best time to put your home up for sale and the best price to put on the listing.



If you’re not careful about building an accurate budget, the fees associated with your real estate transaction may be a surprise to you at closing. the best way to stay in the loop with what you’re going to have to pay is working closely with your Realtor.

PAGE A11  Friday, December 6, 2019

Your real estate professionals understand all the ins and outs of the industry, including who pays what fees and how much they run. Making sure you know your numbers is the key to you walking away from the deal in the best financial shape possible.

Who PaYs RealtoR Fees? this is not always cut and dry. It is common practice for the seller to pick up the cost of the Realtor, but this is not always the case. the fee is generallyy subtracted from the proceeds of the pending sale and are paid out to the actual listing broker. the broker then generally shares the profits with the Realtor who introduced the buyer into the equation. that said, Realtor fees can be negotiated, split or even assigned to the buyer in certain situations. Before signing any final agreements, both sides should clearly understand who is responsible for the Realtor fees. this way, there are no surprises at the table when the sale is finalized. hoW Much aRe RealtoR Fees? according to Zillow, the median price of homes that have sold in the united states is $230,000. typically, you can bank on the Realtor fee resting

Daily Journal Weekly Real Estate

Bottom line: Factor in Fees

somewhere around 6%. on the average home sales price, 6% of $230,000 is $13,800, which is the average Realtor fee.

You should discuss this fee with your Realtor before engaging with their services, as some private realty groups may charge more or less. always look for Realtors to be as transparent as possible. If you don’t feel comfortable with their pricing structure, shop around for other local professionals who will give you a clearer idea of the breakdown.

otheR costs In most cases, closing costs are not included as part of a Realtor’s fees. these are the costs charged by your financial institution for managing the transaction, as well as other fees. they can include loan fees, insurance, taxes and more. home inspection is generally a fee picked up by the buyer, as they are investing in having the home checked out for overall structural integrity and quality. Be sure to have a clear understanding of all costs before getting too far into the process with your Realtor.
