How much are does it cost to sell your home for sale by owner?
Hello…I was wondering if anyone knew once all is said and done on average how much the lawyer fees usually are for a $200,000 home if you sell it for sale by owner? I understand there will be costs for our advertising, and we did buy our home going through for sale by owner but we don't recall what the costs were to the seller? Thanks for your time and any info is appreciated. If it makes a difference we reside in PA. Thanks

An example of costs for CIS Nationwide services based on their CISNationwide.com web page includes: People Searches $4.95; Unlimited checks $9.95; Background Checks for one person $14.95 and each of these services are available with one time billing. However, you may also become a member and use any of their products on a “pay as you go basis.” Your membership fee will be used towards the cost of the searches you perform, so it is important to keep track of your balance and determine when you want your membership will end. Like many memberships, the CIS membership is self renewing and will charge your credit card on file automatically once the funds on account have been exhausted. If you do not want to retain your membership it is important to cancel it when you balance is low or empty.
There are many good and lawful reasons for consumers to need to use such a product and most of us would like to have the information right away and avoid the expense and intrusion of a private investigator – a private investigator who may charge you a great deal more, and who may use the same service available to you through CIS. Should you find yourself needed access to important public records, this service can provide you with the information you need quickly, however, remember the information is only as good as its “beginning point” as a result it is important for other services such as police, county, and governments to keep their records updated also.
