The process

How selling with Cane works

  1. Price

    Your agent prices the home from this month's sales, adjusted for condition and upgrades.

  2. Prepare

    A short list of fixes worth doing, the ones to skip, plus photography and a launch plan.

  3. Launch

    List on the MLS, sell off-market, or buy first. You pick the path.

  4. Negotiate and close

    Your agent manages offers, inspections, appraisal, and escrow through closing.

Questions

Selling questions, answered

Is the commission negotiable?

Yes. Commission is always negotiable and is set in your listing agreement. Your agent walks you through the options and what's included.

What does it cost to sell in San Diego?

Typical costs include commission, escrow and title fees, the county documentary transfer tax, HOA transfer and document fees if you have an HOA, and any repairs or credits you agree to. The net sheet above gives you a starting estimate.

Will I owe capital gains tax?

If the home is your primary residence and you meet the ownership and use tests, federal law lets you exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for married couples filing jointly. Talk with a tax professional about your situation.

I'm 55 or older. Can I keep my lower property tax base?

Under Proposition 19, eligible homeowners 55 and older can transfer their property tax base to a replacement home anywhere in California, up to three times, with an adjustment if the new home costs more. Confirm eligibility with the San Diego County Assessor.

What if my home is a condo?

Buyers will need your HOA documents, and the HOA usually charges transfer and document fees. Order them early so escrow isn't delayed.
