Ways to sell

The main ways people sell a home

The best way depends on your home, your timeline and how much you want to handle yourself.

01

Listing with an agent

The agent prices, markets and sells the home for you, for an agreed fee.

02

Selling it yourself

You handle the pricing, marketing, showings and paperwork, and avoid agent fees.

03

A cash buyer or investor

A quick sale, often as-is, usually at a lower price than the open market.

04

An iBuyer or instant offer

A company makes an offer based on data, then adds fees and adjusts after inspection.

05

An auction

Selling through a bidding process with a set date. It can be fast, and the result is less certain.

06

Waiting and preparing

Making repairs or improvements first, then deciding how to sell.

What it costs to sell

Six costs that can come out of the sale price

01

Agent compensation

Agreed in the listing agreement and negotiable.

02

Closing costs

Fees and charges at closing, which vary by area.

03

Repairs

Work you agree to do before or after an inspection.

04

Preparing the home

Cleaning, staging and photography.

05

What you still owe

Any mortgage or other amounts that must be paid off from the sale.

06

Tax and moving

Possible tax on any gain, and the cost of your own move.

Before you sign

Six things to ask any agent before you sign a listing agreement

01

What will you do, and what is left to me?

Marketing, showings, negotiation and paperwork.

02

How are you paid?

The amount, who pays it and when, in writing.

03

How did you choose the price?

Ask to see the recent sales behind it.

04

How long does the agreement last?

And what happens if I want to end it early.

05

What fees apply in unusual cases?

For example if the home sells to someone I already know.

06

How will you keep me informed?

How often, and how you will report on showings and feedback.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

What are my options for selling?

The main ones are listing with a real estate agent, selling it yourself, selling to a cash buyer or investor, and selling at auction. They differ in price, speed, effort and cost, and the right one depends on your home and your timeline.

What does a listing agent do?

Usually they help set a price, market the home, arrange showings, negotiate offers and handle the paperwork through to closing. Ask each agent exactly what they will do and what they will leave to you.

How are agents paid, and can it be negotiated?

Agent compensation is agreed as part of the listing agreement, and it is negotiable. How agents are paid has changed in recent years, so ask each agent to explain what you would pay and to put it in writing.

How do I set a price?

Agents usually compare recent sales of similar homes nearby. Be careful with an agent who names a very high number just to win the listing. Ask them to show the sales behind their figure.

What costs should I expect when selling?

These can include agent compensation, closing costs, repairs you agree to make, preparing the home for sale and moving. Ask each professional for an estimate of what you would receive after costs.

Will I owe tax on the sale?

It depends on your situation, including how long you lived in the home and how much it has gained. Namoye can't advise on tax. Ask a tax adviser before you decide.

What should I check in a listing agreement?

How long it lasts, what happens if you want to end it early, what fees apply if the home sells to someone you already know, and what marketing the agent will do. Read it fully before you sign.

How long will it take?

It varies with the market, the price and the condition of the home. Ask for a realistic timeline, and what the agent would do if the home doesn't sell as quickly as hoped.

What should I have ready?

Your address or ZIP code, the type and condition of the home, whether there is a mortgage, and when you want to sell. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a real estate agent?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't list or sell homes. Any advice or offer comes from the professional who contacts you.

Will several agents call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified professional contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
