There are two way to do this efficiently. 1. You can have a local broker/real estate agent provide you a CMA. They may or may not request home access but being able to walk through the property usually helps give a very accurate value. 2. You can have it appraised. The things is if you are thinking of selling because of the rapid market increases you may be able to sell it for higher than what is "worth."

Commission can be negotiated. Some agents will and some will not however most of the time you do get what you pay for. The best way to feel confident in the rate your agent is charging is by interviewing several agents to see what value they bring to the table and making the best choice for yourself.

Only if they are licensed in both states however that would be rare. they can however refer you to another agent in the second state and work closely together to reach your goals

Joan, We are in a very fast changing market. If you get an appraisal done the value could change substantially just within a couple of months. Your best option would be to find a real estate agent within that area that does a good amount of business and is very good determining property values at the time you are looking to sell. I am happy to refer someone your way. If you need any further help you can always reach out to me directly. 904-806-6470 or [email protected]

There are a handful of costs associated with selling a property. Below is a list of possible costs: 1. Listing Commission (Typically the seller pays the commission for the listing and buying side) 6% total on average 2. Some Brokers have an additional fee called a broker transaction fee (usually 200-700) 3. If you list your property with an agent there typically are not additional costs associated with marketing but always ask anyone you interview to be sure you know what to expect. 4. There are also closing costs associated with the title company for example a settlement fee, title search, document stamps (taxes), a new survey if required, an estoppel fee from the HOA if there are any associations where your property is located. And any prorated items such as HOA dues, Property Taxes, etc.... A side note. Any real estate should be able to give you a net sheet based off of a realistic market value of your home so you roughly know hoe much you will receive at closing. If you have any liens and or mortgages on the property those will come out of your total closing as well.

The biggest question is whether or not it is insurable. Many insurance companies have guidelines for what condition and age a roof needs to be in order for them to write a policy. In most cases there is almost always at least one or two options. The less maintenance or updating a home needs tends to be favorable for a buyer but that question is better suited for a listing agent in your area and an insurance broker.

This is a complex question depending on many factors; however, an agent must get paid throught their broker and the broker gets paid at a successful closing through the title company/closing lawyer. If they are asking for an advancement on their commission I highly recommend you contact their broker directly. Now, if the buyer or lender is asking for a credit that would also get paid at closing. Either way it essentially near impossible that anything should be paid prior to closing besides repairs/improvements taken care of during the contract period or an open lien. You can also contact the closing company and seek advice from them as they would be able to help clear up any unresolved issues.

The best thing to do is reach out to the agents broker and review the listing agreement that is in place. You can also contact a real estate attorney regarding the implications of cancelling the listing agreement. Sometimes there is a cost involved and either way if there is a listing term (6 months or whatever the case may be) Technically that means it was agreed to allow the current agent/broker to carry the listing until the end of that term. Best of luck!

If all parties signed and fully executed closing documents it may be too late however the best thing to do is reach out to a Real Estate/Title Attorney.

You need to contact a Title Attorney/Real Estate Attorney. They will be able to take care of Deed/Title transfer and you will help you coordinate with transferring the mortgage over from Chase.
