Real Example to consider, if you use a real estate agent: List price of your house: $200, 000 Price you are offered: $194, 000� (nat�l avg. offer price is 3% less than list price) YOU SACRIFICE: Price gap between list/offer: $ 6, 000 Agent commission: $11, 640 (average 6%) Repairs and paint: $ 2, 500�(more or less) Closing fees: $ 5, 820 (average 3%) Total cost to sell w/agent: $25, 960* Balance left after sale: $174, 040 (available to pay off your mortgage, if enough) (you may or may not have cash left over) But wait, there's more... What kind of response would you get if you asked the real estate agent to pay your mortgage and all holding costs while it's on the market? At the very least you'd get a "You've got to be crazy" chuckle of some sort. Here are some additional costs... Mortgage Payment: $ 2, 400 (assume 60 days for offer and negotiations) Taxes and Insurance: $ 400 Miscellaneous: $ 300 (electric, water, gas utilities, maintenance, etc... ) $ 1, 200 (assume financing approved/closed in 30 days) $ 200 $ 150 (electric, water, gas utilities, maintenance, etc... ) More realistic costs to sell w/agent: $30, 610 $169, 390 (only IF the entire offer, negotiation, financing all happens within 90 days. )
Tile & Grout Cleaning Tile Grout Cleaning Sealing Tile grout cleaning sealing will need to be done every 3-5 years to keep the grout a clean consistent color. Grout sealer helps to keep grout clean by keeping water from drawing dirt and detergent deep down into the grout where it can cannot be easily removed with normal cleaning. Most topical sealers work by anchoring in the pores of the grout and changing the surface tension so water doesn't penetrate and oils don't adhere. Wear, high ph detergents, and UV from direct sunlight break down the sealer. As the sealer starts to break down it allows for deeper and deeper penetration by dirty water. This makes the floor more and more difficult to get clean with normal cleaning. It is time to professionally restore it and seal it again. The first step is to remove the embedded soil and get the grout as clean as brand new before re-sealing the grout. Chemistry and rinse are the key elements in getting grout as clean as brand new. The grout needs two different types of detergents to remove the various types of soil locked into the grout.
