When you are ready to sell your house, if you are like most home sellers, your immediate thought is to find a real estate agent to list your home. Unfortunately, the listing process is fraught with expenses that you should keep in mind as you calculate your potential profits on the sale of your house. So read on as we explore four hidden costs of hiring an agent to sell your house in Gainesville.

Commissions and Fees

While the commission is determined when you sign your listing contract, you don’t feel the impact until you add up the extra fees at the closing table, making it one of the hidden costs of hiring an agent to sell your house in Gainesville.

Professional buyers like those at [company] have the solution. The professional buyers at [company] will help you avoid these costs when you sell your house directly because we never charge commissions, and there are no hidden fees.
