How much does it cost to sell a house in Florida?

Sellers usually pay the deed's documentary stamp tax ($0.70 per $100 of the price), the owner's title policy (by custom across much of Central Florida; negotiable), the compensation agreed with the agents and other closing charges. The calculator on this page gives you a number for your price.

Do I have to fix everything before selling?

No. Fix what an inspector or lender will ask for anyway, like the roof, AC, electrical or a leak, and the cheap things that improve first impressions, like paint and cleaning. The rest can be handled in the price.

Can I sell if I still owe on my mortgage?

Yes. At closing the title company pays off your mortgage from the sale and you get the difference.

Can I sell an inherited house?

You usually need probate or a court order before selling, unless the house was in a trust, had a deed that passes it straight to heirs, or was owned jointly with right of survivorship. A probate attorney can tell you which path applies; in the meantime, keep the insurance, taxes and house in order.

Do you charge to tell me what my home is worth?

No. The home analysis and the consultation are free, with no obligation.

Documentary stamp tax: $0.70 per $100 of the price (Florida Statutes 201.02). Title policy: state-set rate (Florida Administrative Code 69O-186.003); across much of Central Florida the seller pays it by custom, but it's negotiable. Agent compensation isn't set by law: it's negotiated and agreed in writing. Under other costs, include the title company's closing fee, your share of the year's property taxes and any repairs you agree to.
