financing, but it’s also important for sellers to know before any
construction or major projects are completed because after
the fact there’s little that can be done about it, and it could
greatly impact whether or not your home will sell.
17.) If I decide at any point that I don’t want to sell my
house after all, do I still need to pay my real estate agent
commission?
This depends on where you are in the selling process when you
decide you don’t want to sell. If the real estate agent hasn’t
properly advertised your property, hasn’t had any offers or even
a lot of interest in the property, and hasn’t advised you on why
this is happening or what can be done to change it, sometimes
you can back out of the deal without too many repercussions.
However, if the agent has done all of the work and has even
found a ready, willing, and able buyer and then you decide
you don’t want to sell, you will most likely still have to pay the
agent their commission.
If you get even further into the deal, such as the buyer has
sold their previous home and has nowhere to go after a
certain date, backing out of the deal at the last minute might
make you responsible for expenses they incurred due to your
decision such as hotel fees, storage fees, etc. When you decide
you want to sell your home, you want to be very sure that you
do in fact, want to sell your home.
