Owning a home is tough enough: as the emperor of your domicile, you deal with all the fun stuff like pulling weeds, repairing the roof, and the joy of property taxes. But we know you worked hard for this! And hey, there’s nothing better than falling peacefully asleep, knowing no rambunctious upstairs renter will compromise your slumber with an impromptu late-night dance party. Success!
But what about that part of the home-owning lifecycle that’s less known? We’re talking about when you say goodbye to the starter home, the townhouse, or the bachelor pad. And as you’re about to put that property on the market, there’s no reason to make the process more difficult or expensive than it needs to be.
Thinking of calling your local real estate agent? That’s fine, if you’re the sort of person that enjoys setting a pile of money on fire. If that sounds strange to you, check out the numbers: in DC, realtor commission is roughly 6%. And with a local median home value of $550,000, sellers are paying agents $33,000 for an average home sale, the equivalent of over $800 an hour. That’s more than you would pay your average doctor or lawyer! That could buy you 33,000 slices of dollar pizza or a trip around the world!
