It can be done! Let’s just get that out of the way. When you go to sell your Santa Clarita home, your biggest question may be, how can you lower your closing costs? Your closing costs might be an issue when your margin for profit is real thin. Sure, you can try to negotiate the commission, and that might be one place you can save money on the sale of your Santa Clarita home, but some agents, like myself, aren’t discount real estate brokers. You get what you pay for… isn’t that your experience in life, so far… typically?
A GREAT real estate agent will have a team. That’s not to say a team that works under them and on salary. I mean a team that works collaboratively with the Santa Clarita real estate agent, deal after deal after deal. Vendors such as the agent, an escrow company, and title company to name a few. The team is successful, and does a lot of business with each other throughout the year. And because of that success, you might be able to have some of your ordinary closing costs for a seller, lowered. Not always. But, if needed and appropriate, it can be done.
For Instance:
When needed, a discount might be able to be taken off your escrow fee
When needed, a deal might be made with the buyer where they pay for their own home warranty
When needed, a discount might be able to be taken off of the termite inspection and even the termite repairs
When needed, a discount might be able to be taken off of any notary signing
Sell For More
Outside of any possible discounts, which can be super helpful when you’re not walking away with very much money to begin with, you need to consider the services of a real estate agent who can sell your home for MORE money. With a proactive approach to selling your home, and expertise of area, your Santa Clarita Realtor might be able to sell your home for more than any neighbor has previously. You’d be surprised in the difference of results you’d get from one agent to another. Moral of the story is, don’t hire just any agent. If you need every dime out of your home, aside from discounted service providers such as escrow (etc etc) look for an agent that can sell your home for more money. That can be your biggest source of savings.
