Commissions, Repairs, Marketing, and Other Potential Costs You May Face When Selling Your House in Houston

Selling a house can be a complex and expensive process, and many homeowners are unaware of all the potential costs involved. In addition to the obvious expenses such as real estate agent commissions and closing costs, there are other costs to consider, such as repairs, marketing, and staging.

One option to eliminate these costs is to sell your house to a professional home-buying company like Hero Homebuyers. We can make you a direct offer for any unwanted property in Houston, typically closing within just a few days. Here’s a breakdown of the potential costs you may face when selling your house in Houston, and how Hero Homebuyers can help you avoid these costs altogether. 

Commissions and Closing Costs

When you sell your house through a real estate agent, you’ll typically pay a commission of 5-6% of the sale price. This can be a significant expense, particularly if your house is valued at a high price point. So, for example, if your house sells for $350,000, you could be paying over $20,000 in commissions alone.  In addition to commissions, you’ll also need to pay closing costs, which can include appraisal fees, title insurance, and other expenses.

When you sell your house to Hero Homebuyers, you won’t need to pay any commissions or closing costs. Hero Homebuyers will make you a cash offer for your house and take care of all the paperwork and legal fees associated with the sale. You will know exactly how much cash you’ll be walking away with so you can accurately plan for your next steps. 

Repairs and Renovations

If your house is in need of repairs or renovations, you’ll need to invest time and money to get it ready for sale. This can include anything from fixing a leaky roof to updating your kitchen or bathroom. Depending on the state of your house, these costs can quickly add up. You’ll need to walk the line between making repairs to attract buyers and spending too much on a home you will no longer own. 

When you sell your house to Hero Homebuyers, you won’t need to make any repairs or renovations. Hero Homebuyers buys houses as-is, which means you can sell your house in its current condition without having to invest any additional money into it. Even if the house needs work, we are still ready to make you a great offer. 

Marketing and Staging

If you want to sell your house quickly, you’ll need to invest in marketing and staging. This can include anything from professional photography to home staging services. These costs can be significant, particularly if you’re selling a higher-end property. You will also need to keep the house clean, providing a warm and inviting space for potential buyers. 

When you sell your house to Hero Homebuyers, you won’t need to worry about marketing or staging. Hero Homebuyers will make you a cash offer for your house without the need for any showings, open houses, or even cleaning. We handle all of the details so that you can devote your time and energy into your next property. 

Closing Thoughts

Selling your house can be a complicated and expensive process, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re looking to sell your house quickly and without any of the potential costs or hassles associated with a traditional sale, Hero Homebuyers can help.

By selling your house to Hero Homebuyers, you can avoid paying commissions and closing costs, making repairs and renovations, and investing in marketing and staging. Hero Homebuyers buys houses as-is, which means you can sell your house in its current condition and move on to the next chapter of your life.
