Getting the Highest Price for Your Home

Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home.  Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. We have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.

Closing Costs to Expect:

  • Title insurance fees depend on the sales price of the home.
  • Broker's commission is a full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 5% to 7%.
  • Local property transfer tax, Escrow fees, document preparation fees, Recording fees, and possibly a resale certificate fee.  Some variance occurs in the escrow fees and credits to the buyer or seller depending on the time of the year and day of the month that the transaction closing is set for.  
  • VA and FHA fees and costs are all associated loan fees and some are now negotiable between an FHA buyer and seller.  The VA Funding fee must be paid by the buyer.  Under some circumstances it can be rolled into the loan. 
  • Appraisal cost is normally paid for by the seller in Alaska.  The actual cost of the appraisal varies a little depending on the type of loan the buyer is using to purchase the property.
  • Home inspections fees are normally paid for by the buyer and may include pest, radon and other inspections.
  • Miscellaneous expenses can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.  These could be health and safety issues that are required by most lenders to be corrected by the seller.  Among those most recently occurring are the requirement for a resale home to have Carbon Monoxide and Smoke detectors.
