Want To Know The REAL Cost of Traditional Home Sales?

Thinking about listing your house traditionally? You might be shocked at what it REALLY costs! Real estate agent commissions eat up 3% to 7% of your final sale price. For the average Alberta home, that’s THOUSANDS of dollars gone!

NO Hidden Fees with Family First House Buyer!

Traditional sales hit you with:

• Legal fees: CAD 696.68 to CAD 2090.04
• Mortgage discharge fees: Up to CAD 975.35
• Prepayment penalties: Three months’ interest on your balance
• Staging costs: CAD 696.68 to CAD 20,900.40

Money Down The Drain While You Wait

Are you ready to keep paying while your house sits on the market? You’ll face:

• Property taxes
• Insurance payments
• Utility bills
• Special vacant property insurance
• Monthly mortgage payments averaging CAD 2,857.78

Renovation Costs That Eat Your Profits

• Bathroom updates: CAD 7,372.27
• Exterior repainting: CAD 4,085.33
• Floor replacement: CAD 3,267.43

What You Need To Know About As-Is Sales

When you sell as-is, buyers take responsibility for future repairs or issues. But don’t worry – we’ll handle all the paperwork! The sale contract must clearly state “as-is” to protect you from future repair claims.

Let’s Clear Up The Myths!

People tell us lots of myths about as-is sales. Here’s what’s REALLY true:

• “As-is means hiding problems” – WRONG! We believe in 100% honesty about your property
• “Only damaged homes sell as-is” – NOT TRUE! We buy beautiful homes too
• “Buyers can’t negotiate after inspection” – FALSE! We’re always fair with our offers

Selling As-Is in Alberta? Know Your Rights!

Alberta law requires specific disclosures. You’ll need to tell buyers about:

• Problems affecting home value
• Safety concerns
• Hazardous materials
• Structural issues

You’ll complete Alberta’s Disclosure of Defects form. Don’t worry – honesty protects you AND builds trust with buyers [19, 20]!

Remember: You’re only responsible for problems you know about. But be thorough – hidden issues you should have known about could cause legal trouble later. We’ll help you through every step of the disclosure process!

The SHOCKING Truth About Traditional Sale Costs!

Need to sell your house? You might be surprised how much money traditional sales eat away from your profits. Let me show you the real numbers that most agents won’t tell you about.

Real Estate Agent Fees That Drain Your Wallet

Here’s what agents don’t advertise – commissions take 3.5% to 5% of your sale price! On a CAD 557,344 home, that’s up to CAD 16,720 gone to agents. Don’t forget the extra 13% HST on top!

Even with new commission rules giving buyers more control, you’re still stuck paying your listing agent 2.5-3%. That’s THOUSANDS in commissions!

More Money Down The Drain

Think that’s all? Traditional sales demand even more:

• Staging costs: CAD 1,089 to CAD 3,925
• Empty house furniture rental: CAD 2,786 monthly
• Professional photos
• Listing fees
• Signs and marketing materials
• Open house costs

The Final Hit – Closing Costs

You’ll need a lawyer – that’s another CAD 1,393 to CAD 2,229. They’ll handle your paperwork and legal requirements.

But wait, there’s more:

• Transfer taxes (under 1% of price)
• Title insurance
• Mortgage discharge fees
• Escrow fees

Total closing costs? A WHOPPING 6-10% of your sale price! Plus, buyers might demand repair credits during negotiations.

To maximize your as-is sale value, work effectively with direct buyers, prepare comprehensive documentation, and use smart negotiation strategies.
