Frequently asked questions

How much is realtor commission?

Historically about 5–6% in the US split between agents, but since 2024 rule changes commissions are more openly negotiated and often lower.

What closing costs does a seller pay?

Often 1–3% of the price: title insurance, transfer taxes, escrow and attorney fees, depending on the state.

Do I owe tax on the profit?

In the US, up to $250,000 of gain ($500,000 for married couples) on a main home is usually tax-free if you meet the ownership and use tests.
