THE SELLER ROADMAP:
Josh was amazing!!! He was always very responsive and easy to work with. He goes the extra mile especially since I live in CA, he gave me a lot of extra care which included taking care of my place and even doing a little handyman work (which he is very good at). As a CA realtor I had high expectations and was very pleased with the outcome. He is also kindhearted and has a lot of patience in the process. I had a wonderful experience and would highly, highly recommend him. I will definitely refer him to anyone I know moving to South Florida. Thank you Josh for your outstanding service.

Josh understood our urgency for a new home, given our growing family and went above and beyond to find one for us. He was extremely reassuring during what was a stressful first home-buying experience and was incredibly responsive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

How to Sell Your Home in 6 Steps
Selling a home in Delray Beach or Boca Raton comes down to six steps: price it right from recent sales, get it ready, market it, handle showings, negotiate the offer and inspection, and close. Know the costs before you list, too, starting with Florida's doc stamps on the deed (Florida Department of Revenue) and the few other expenses broken down below.

Prep and Staging
Before you list, I'll point out the repairs and touch-ups worth doing and the ones you can skip. A buyer's inspector will look at everything, so it pays to know first.

What you'll pay to sell in Florida
Your sale price isn't what lands in your account. Florida sellers usually pay a state tax on the deed, pay off their loan and settle a few bills at closing. Here's what each item is.
- Documentary stamp tax on the deed.Florida charges 70 cents per $100 of the sale price in every county except Miami-Dade (s. 201.02(1)(a), F.S., per the Florida Department of Revenue). On a $500,000 sale, that's $3,500. State law makes all parties liable, and the contract sets who pays.
- Owner's title insurance policy.This protects the buyer. Florida sets title rates by rule (Fla. Admin. Code 69O-186.003, per the Florida Department of Financial Services). Who pays for it is negotiable and gets written into your contract.
- Real estate commissions.Commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable (National Association of REALTORS). Since the NAR settlement practice changes took effect Aug. 17, 2024, buyers sign their own written agreement with their agent, and offers of buyer-agent compensation can't appear on the MLS. If you choose to offer the buyer's agent anything, you approve the amount in writing (NAR).
- Your mortgage payoff.The title company orders a payoff from your lender and pays the loan off at closing, including interest up to the payoff date.
- Prorated property taxes.In Palm Beach County, the tax bill for the year is mailed by Nov. 1 and payable through March 31 (Palm Beach County Tax Collector). So a seller usually hasn't paid the current year yet, and you credit the buyer for the days you owned the home.
- HOA or condo estoppel certificate.The association states what's owed on your account. Florida caps a standard HOA estoppel fee at $250, plus $100 if expedited, adjusted for inflation every five years (s. 720.30851, F.S.). Condos have their own cap (s. 718.116, F.S.). Any unpaid dues come out of your proceeds.
- Repairs and credits.After inspection, a buyer may ask for repairs or a credit at closing. Whatever we agree to comes off your side.
- Capital gains and FIRPTA.If you meet the IRS ownership and use tests, you may exclude up to $250,000 of gain on your main home, or $500,000 filing jointly (IRS Topic 701). If the seller is a foreign person, the buyer generally must withhold 15% of the amount realized under FIRPTA (IRS). Talk to a tax professional before you list.
Estimate your net proceeds: sale price, minus your mortgage payoff, minus doc stamps, commissions and any title charges you agree to pay, minus repairs, credits and prorated taxes, minus HOA or condo estoppel fees and unpaid dues.
Ask for a written net sheet before you list, and check it again when you have an offer.

Seller FAQ
How much are closing costs for a seller in Florida?
It depends on your price, loan and contract. The fixed state item is doc stamps on the deed: 70 cents per $100 outside Miami-Dade (Florida Department of Revenue). Commissions, title and credits are negotiated.
Who pays doc stamps on a home sale in Palm Beach County?
Florida law makes all parties liable for the deed tax, and your contract says who actually pays it (Florida Department of Revenue).
Do I pay capital gains tax when I sell my home in Florida?
Maybe not. If you owned and lived in the home at least two of the last five years, you may exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 filing jointly (IRS Topic 701). Check with a tax pro.
