How much does it cost to sell in Sanremo?

Before selling, it’s fair to know what costs to expect. On the seller’s side they’re fewer than you’d think, but it’s good to know them to avoid surprises and to assess the real net proceeds.

The agency commission

It’s usually the main item: a percentage of the sale price, agreed at the mandate. Against this cost, an agency that works well often gets you a higher price in a shorter time, more than repaying the commission. What matters is what’s included: with us, for example, home staging, photos, a dedicated website and the open house are part of the service.

Document fees

Some documents needed for the sale may have a cost: for example the APE (the energy performance certificate required for sale in Italy) or any cadastral updates and compliance checks, if needed. These are generally modest amounts, but should be budgeted for in time.

Any capital gains

In some cases, if you sell within five years of purchase at a higher price, a tax on the capital gain may apply; in many situations (for example a main residence) it doesn’t. This is a tax matter to always check with the notary or accountant: we help you frame it, but the final word is theirs.

Beware the "hidden" cost: selling badly

The highest cost often isn’t on an invoice: it’s selling at a lower price because the home started overpriced or poorly presented. A few thousand euros lost this way weigh far more than any real fee. That’s why starting from the right price matters so much.

What you’re left with: the figure that counts

In the end, the figure that counts is the net proceeds, not the shop-window price. We help you estimate it from the start, with a clear, transparent assessment of your home and the costs involved. Want to start here? Request a valuation with no obligation.
