One of the first questions sellers ask is, “What will it actually cost me to sell?” Here’s an honest breakdown for homeowners in Roseville, Sacramento, and the surrounding area.
1. Real estate commissions
Commissions are negotiable and typically the largest selling cost. In exchange, a full-service agent handles pricing, marketing, negotiation, and the entire transaction — which usually nets you more than selling alone or accepting a discount offer.
2. Closing costs
Expect title and escrow fees, county transfer taxes, and prorated property taxes. In the Sacramento region these commonly run 1–3% of the sale price.
3. Prep and repairs
Cleaning, minor repairs, and staging deliver some of the highest returns in real estate. Eugene will tell you exactly which improvements are worth it — and which to skip.
