I want to get my house to market in the next 2-3 weeks, so my weekends are busy. I removed a lot of wall paper ans started pulling things off of the walls that are going to be painted. Beyond that, it's a bunch of odds and ends. It never feels like I'm getting closer to being finished.
I seriously can't wait to get rid of this house.
Selling a house is nowhere easier. It sucks! I've also heard that the seller needs to pay 6% to the broker. Is this correct?!

Yupp. Comparing to India, it's at least 3-5% more. Most properties here sell with a brokerage of .5 to 1% and some with 1-2%.
And comparing the price, properties in Indian cities are not cheaper than the properties in the US.

Real estate agents in the US had a standard ~6% commission, paid by the seller and split between seller's and buyer's agents, but a 2023 Supreme Court decision found this was pretty much price-fixing and so there is supposed to be a a wider variety of services and rates offered by real estate agents now. I don't think it's really happening though.
Also: I hate removing wall paper.
