Capture Full Market Value

After you’ve moved, we’ll list and sell your former home. If it sells for more than the price we paid, you keep the extra, minus program fees and selling costs.

What are the Selling Costs and Program Fees?

Once your former property hits the market, we deduct standard selling costs from the final sales price. These include listing prep, marketing, property oversight, and other direct costs incurred while we own the home, like taxes and utilities. A small, prorated fee may also apply depending on how long we’ve held the property before resale.

All fees are calculated transparently and only taken from the final selling price. For a full breakdown or tax-specific guidance, contact info@adamolsenteam.com.

An example of the cost breakdown, so you can move forward with confidence:

  • Agent fees are based on the commission rate you agree on with your AOT agent.

  • Listing prep costs are determined after a pre-listing inspection and reflect what’s needed to get your home market ready, think cleaning, minor repairs, or staging.

  • Ownership costs include prorated property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, and any HOA dues during our ownership period.

  • Trade-In fee is typically 2.0% of the home value and helps cover our program costs. This amount is property-dependent and may be adjusted based on actual market performance once the home sells.
