REAL ESTATE

HOW MUCH ARE REALTOR FEES? According to Zillow, the median price of homes that have sold in the United States is $230,000. Typically, the Realtor fee is somewhere around 6%. If the average home sales price is $230,000, 6% fee is $13,800, which is the average Realtor fee. It is important to discuss this fee with your Realtor before agreeing to their services. Some, realty professionals may charge more or less. Always ask Realtors many questions. Realtors are there to help you. Research how they will market and sell your home. The lower cost fee does not always mean that your home sale will have a larger profit. It is important to recognize the realtor’s credibility, success and how they market your home.
