Who's Sold A Co-op Before?

Hi all,

My husband & I are getting ready to list our Bayside co-op for sale. For those who have sold a co-op before, what were your closing costs? I know we have a flip tax, and we'll have to pay the lawyer's & realtor's fees, but I'm not sure what other expenses we should expect… deed, bank, etc. We're trying to figure out how much of a hit we're going to take

Thanks for your help!

Oof, I have, I just don't remember all the fees...

I know I had a 1% flip, theres a city recording tax too that was RIDICULOUS.

I sold my Belle Harbor (Rockaway) co-op in Dec of 07 and my closing costs were I think 6K. I sold it by owner. No flip tax.

We sold two years ago in Little Neck. I know the flip tax (our development called it something different) was $2k. The REA fee was $7k. I do not remember the closing costs though.

Re: Who's Sold A Co-op Before?

As a seller y'all had $10K in closing costs?!?!?!

I know we have to pay the REA fee (no flip tax here), but isn't that it? I thought most other closing costs were the buyer's responsibility?

Yikes!!

When we sold our co-op we had a flip tax, real estate fees and a bunch of NYC taxes like the share transfer tax and the recording tax. It was ridiculous! I think our closing costs not including the real estate agent commission were about 10K. Sigh.

We sold our one bdrm coop in kew gardens last summer and paid about 10k in closing costs. As the seller u have to pay a bunch of people like the coop attny, bank attny, your own attny, flip tax to coop and other random fees. Sorta sucks but not much u can do, good luck!

Re: Who's Sold A Co-op Before?

We sold our Bayside co-op last year.
We didn't have a flip tax, b/c our board didn't have it.

I don't remember what the closing costs were on the co-op.. .the house threw us for a loop! $22K in closing costs Chat Icon I think it was only about $7K if memory serves me correctly

Best of luck to you!
