We often think about the closing costs for purchasing a home, and forget about the closing costs when selling a home.

The guidelines below will prepare you for your sale:

1.   Mortgage buy out penalty - cost is variable, so check with your current lender

                                            - due at time of closing

2.  Fuel Oil adjustments - ( if applicable) - anywhere from $400-$500 reimbursed by buyer to you at the time of closing.

3.  Legal Fees - variable upon lawyer - do not forget about the Migration if you have not done that process yet.

                     - due at time of closing

4.  Real Estate Fee - this would be your biggest expense - this varies depending on the listing agreement

                            - due at the time of closing, usually your lawyer will handle that for you.

Please Note:    Fees may vary for fuel costs, oil constantly changes - legal fees vary , Nova Scotia land migration will also vary and is necessary in order to sell your home. 

For more information on Land Migration contact your lawyer, or give me a call or email and I will explain so you will understand.      This price does vary anywhere form $700 to $1500.

The above information is just a guidline and should be researched by sellers prior to selling.
