Estimated Seller Closing Costs

One of the first questions that sellers ask is "what are the closing costs to sell my home?" While there are plenty of resources on the Web that estimate closing costs for buyers, there is little readily available information about seller closing costs. In an effort to assist and educate those considering selling their Lee County, Florida property, here are some seller closing cost estimates:

• Title company closing fees ($300-$400)
• Title insurance ($.00575 x selling price)
• Documentary tax stamps ($.0070 x selling price)
• Lee County property taxes - pro-rated share ((# of days you owned property/365) x annual property tax)
• HOA/condo fees - pro-rated share
