Thanks

Hi Karen, selling costs can be deducted to reduce the capital gain realized upon the sale. Selling costs include:

– commissions paid to a realtor
– legal fees paid to a lawyer
– repair expenses incurred to make the property ready for sale
– land transfer fees (sometimes called stamp taxes)
