Hi, this is Shawn Kostoff with Unlimited Real Estate Solutions, and today I want to go over a few frequently asked questions we get from people who are interested in selling their property. So a lot of times we’ll take phone calls from sellers and they might say, “Hey Sean, I’m looking to sell my house fast in Delaware County.” Or, “Hey, I’m looking to sell my house for cash in Delaware County. Can you help us?” And a few questions come up over and over.
The first is, what are some closing costs, or will we even have to pay some closing costs if we sell the property to you guys? And when you work with us, we really cover most of those closing costs. So when I say closing costs, I’m talking about attorney’s fees, filing fees, recording fees, things like that. They’ll also ask about commissions. One of the nice things about working with us, as an investor buying your property, is you don’t have to pay that 5-6% realtor fee that they charge for listing your property and showing it to all the buyers that are interested.
With us, it’s pretty straightforward. In Delaware County, the only thing you might have to pay from time to time is that transfer tax, which is unavoidable. So in Delaware County it’s 2%. We, as the buyer, typically pay 1%. You, as the seller, pay the other 1%. There have been a lot of instances where we just cover the full 2% transfer tax, so the sellers that we work with get their final settlement sheet and they really don’t have anything that they’re debited for. So they’re really truly getting that fair offer price that we initially made.
So if you’re looking to sell your house fast or you’re looking to sell your house for a fair cash offer, you can click on the link here today and fill out the form or give us a call at 484 286 5595. I look forward to speaking with you.
