Contemplating buying or selling a house and have no idea where to begin? Here’s a list of some of the questions you might have about the real estate process. If you have any additional questions, please get in touch.
What is the cost to sell a house in New Jersey?
The average cost to sell a house in New Jersey is 6.22% of a home’s final sale price, which includes realtor commission (5.13% of the sale price) and seller closing costs (1.1%).
That means it costs New Jersey home sellers an average of $29,430 to sell a home priced at $471,719 (the average New Jersey home price).
Keep in mind that realtor commission and closing cost figures vary widely by market.
You can also save big by using an agent to sell your home.
Do I need a real estate lawyer as well?
A real estate attorney, also known as a real estate lawyer, is someone who is licensed to practice real estate law, meaning they have the knowledge and experience to advise parties involved in a real estate transaction, such as a home sale or short sale.
Buying a home isn’t just a simple purchase; it’s also a legal transfer of property from one entity to another. Because the legal side of this transaction can be so complex, sometimes it makes sense (or is even required) for home buyers or sellers to enlist an attorney who can look out for their best interests.
While you’ll likely already be dealing with a myriad of costs as you work to close on your house, and probably aren’t keen to add another, having a lawyer on your side can be an expense that ends up paying for itself.
