FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do sellers pay realtor fees in Texas?

In Austin, it is common (and not absolute) for Sellers to pay both the Listing Agent's commission and the Buyer's Agent's commission out of sale proceeds for a total that is typically between 5 and 6 percent of the sale price. While Buyer Agent compensation is negotiated separately, I walk every Seller through the full breakdown of estimated costs at our first meeting.

What percentage do most Realtors get for selling a house in Austin?

Listing Agent commissions in Austin generally run around 3 percent. The overall cost of selling, including the Buyer's Agent compensation you choose to offer is negotiable and depends on your specific situation. I am transparent about how I structure my fees and what the investment covers from listing day through close (when you hand over the keys to the Buyer).

What is the average home sale price in Austin, Texas?

Austin's median home price has shifted significantly since 2022 and varies considerably by neighborhood and property type. I will share a current home analysis (aka a comparative market analysis) for you as a Seller. Honestly, we don't care about the average home sale price in Austin. It's a big city and what side of the road you're on in a particular neighborhood could make a difference to pricing your home. I will supply details of an intensive review of your specific zip code, neighborhood and street in real time. Data is our ally.

How much tax do you pay when you sell your house in Texas?

Texas has no state income tax which is a significant advantage. At the federal level, if the home was your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years, you may exclude up to $250,000 in capital gains if you file single or $500,000 if you file jointly. Gains above those thresholds are taxable. For inherited property, different rules apply.
