How Much Does It Cost to Sell a Home in Queens — And What Will You Actually Net?

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 19:09:25 GMT

If you're thinking about selling your home in Queens , one of the most important questions you should be asking is:

“What will it actually cost me to sell — and how much will I walk away with?”

Most homeowners focus on the sale price.
But what really matters is your net proceeds — what you keep after all expenses, fees, and obligations are paid.

Let’s break this down in a way that actually helps you make a smart decision.

The Real Costs of Selling a Home in Queens

When you sell a home in Queens, there are several categories of costs you should expect. Some are unavoidable. Others depend on your strategy.

Real Estate Commission

This fee is negotiable with the agent of your choice.

It covers:

Marketing your property
Negotiating offers
Managing the transaction from start to finish

New York State & NYC Transfer Taxes

When you sell a property in New York, there are transfer taxes required at both the state and city level.

These are standard and apply to nearly every transaction.

Attorney Fees

In New York, you are required to have an attorney represent you during the sale.

They handle:

Contract preparation
Copntract review
Legal protection
Closing coordination

Once you start searching for your attorney, make sure to ask them to explain their role in the sale so that you have a clear picture.

Title & Closing-Related Fees

There are additional administrative and closing-related costs that come with transferring ownership.

These include:

Filing and recording fees
Documentation costs
Miscellaneous closing expenses

Property Preparation (Where Strategy Wins or Loses)

This is where sellers can truly set themselves apart from the competition (the other comparable homes for sale near you.)

Depending on your home, you may invest in:

Cleaning and decluttering
Minor repairs
Cosmetic updates
Staging

Done correctly, this can dramatically impact your final sale price and how quickly your home sells .

This is an EXTREMELY important topic to discuss with your agent when you first meet.

Capital Gains Considerations

Depending on your situation, you may or may not owe taxes on your profit.

This depends on:

How long you've owned the home
Whether it was your primary residence
How much appreciation you’ve had

This is an area where planning ahead can make a major difference. Speak to your CPA at your earliest convenience to fully understand this.

So What Will You Actually Net?

Your net proceeds depend on several key factors:

Your home’s final sale price
Your remaining mortgage balance
Your closing costs and fees
Any applicable taxes

This is why two homes that sell for the same price can result in very different outcomes for the sellers .

The key to having an estimate of what you will be walking with is to have a Net sheet, which details all of the costs associated with the sale of your home.

The Biggest Mistake Queens Home Sellers Make

Most sellers make one of these mistakes:

They focus only on price, not net
They underestimate the true costs
They choose an agent based on convenience instead of strategy

Here’s the reality:

The goal is not to sell your home.
The goal is to maximize what you walk away with.

That requires:

Strategic pricing
Proper positioning
Strong negotiation
Smart preparation

How to Get an Accurate Net (Before You List)

If you're serious about selling, you should not be guessing these numbers.

You should have a custom net sheet that factors in:

Your specific property
Your financial situation
Current market conditions in Queens

That’s how you make a confident decision — not based on assumptions, but on actual data.

Final Thoughts

Selling a home in Queens is not just about what your home is worth — it’s about what you keep after everything is done.

The difference between a good strategy and the right strategy can be significant.

What Makes Us Different at KW Landmark? It’s Our Culture.

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 23:45:10 GMT

What Makes Us Different at KW Landmark? It’s Our Culture.

When real estate agents consider making a move, one of the first questions they ask is simple:

What makes you different?

It’s a fair question — and an important one.

Whether we’re speaking with a seasoned, top-producing agent or someone just beginning their real estate career, the answer remains the same.

The difference isn’t just commission splits.

It isn’t just technology.

It isn’t just training.

It’s our culture.

Culture Is Not a Buzzword — It’s Our Foundation

In many industries, “culture” gets thrown around casually. At **Keller Williams Realty Landmark**, culture is not marketing language — it’s a core, foundational pillar that has defined who we are from the very beginning.

Our culture is built on:

Sharing knowledge freely
Putting people before profit
Personal growth alongside business growth
Empowering one another through strategy, language, and technology
Raising standards across the industry

And that culture was on full display this year at Keller Williams Family Reunion in Atlanta.

Thousands of Agents. One Shared Mission.

Family Reunion isn’t just a conference. It’s a global gathering of thousands of real estate professionals from around the world — all coming together to:

Network at a high level
Grow personally and professionally
Share strategies that are actively working in today’s market
Learn directly from the best in the industry

The most powerful part?

The top agents in the company openly share the exact tactics, systems, scripts, marketing approaches, and technologies they use to provide exceptional service to their clients.

No gatekeeping.

No ego.

No scarcity mindset.

Just collaboration.

That’s culture.

A Culture of Sharing Elevates Everyone

In a competitive industry like real estate — especially in markets like Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island, and the greater NYC area — many brokerages operate from a place of secrecy.

We operate differently.

At KW Landmark, when one agent wins, we all win.

When someone discovers a new strategy that helps a homeowner net more money, reduce stress, or navigate a complex transaction more smoothly — it gets shared.

When someone leverages new technology to improve marketing exposure or streamline communication — it gets taught.

When someone develops stronger language to better advocate for clients — it becomes part of the collective growth.

This culture of contribution creates a powerful ripple effect:

Agents grow faster
Clients receive better service
Standards rise across the market

## Bringing the Value Back Home

Our KW Landmark family was joined by our sister office for this incredible experience. Together, we immersed ourselves in training, masterminds, networking sessions, and cutting-edge strategy discussions.

But attending an event is not the goal.

Implementation is.

We are bringing everything we learned back to:

Our clients
Our fellow agents
Our local communities

The rest of our KW family who were unable to attend

We don’t attend events to collect notes.

We attend to elevate our execution.

What This Means for Agents Considering KW Landmark

If you’re an agent exploring your next move — whether you’re brand new or producing at a high level — here’s what our culture means for you:

You are not alone.
You are surrounded by people who genuinely want you to succeed.
You have access to systems, models, and training that are proven.
You are part of an ecosystem that prioritizes growth and contribution.

Culture is not something you read about on a website.

It’s something you feel when you walk into the office.

And it’s something you see in action when thousands of professionals gather not to compete — but to collaborate.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

Culture impacts service.

When you work with an agent connected to a culture of sharing, strategy, and innovation, you benefit from:

Collective knowledge from top producers nationwide
Cutting-edge marketing techniques
Advanced negotiation strategies
Technology designed to enhance communication and results
A mindset focused on people over profit

We are not just operating as individual agents.

We are backed by a global network committed to constant improvement.

Raising the Standard — One Person at a Time

At KW Landmark, we have always believed in raising the standard of the real estate industry.

Not through slogans.

Not through hype.

But through daily action.

Through investing in ourselves so we can better serve others.

Through empowering agents to grow into leaders.

Through sharing what works.

Through choosing collaboration over competition.

That is what makes us different.

That is our culture.

And that is why we continue striving to raise the bar — one person at a time.

Experience the Difference for Yourself

If you're a real estate agent exploring your next move — or simply curious about what a culture of collaboration, growth, and opportunity really feels like — we invite you to start a conversation with us.

Come visit Keller Williams Realty Landmark , meet our leadership team, and experience firsthand why so many agents choose to grow their careers here.

Thinking About Selling in Queens, Brooklyn, or Long Island? Here’s What 2026 Is Showing Us

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 19:00:20 GMT

If you’re a homeowner in Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau County, or surrounding NYC areas , you’re probably asking one of two questions:

Is now the right time to sell?
If I list, will my home actually move?

The real answer isn’t emotional. It’s strategic.

And 2026 is already giving us clear signals.

The Market Is Moving — But Strategy Matters More Than Ever

So far this year, our office has:

Secured $65.3M in listings taken
Written $69.8M in contracts
Closed $82.5M in sales
Sold 92 units year-to-date

That tells us something important:

✔ Homes are being listed
✔ Buyers are writing contracts
✔ Deals are closing

But here’s the truth most homeowners don’t hear:

The homes that are winning are positioned correctly from day one.

Overpricing, weak presentation, or poor negotiation strategy will cost you time and money in today’s environment.

What Sellers in Queens Need to Know

In neighborhoods across Queens — from Bayside and Flushing to Forest Hills and Whitestone — buyers are educated. They are comparing closed sales. They are analyzing days on market. They know when something is overpriced.

If your pricing is even 5% off in today’s market, you lose momentum.

And once momentum is gone, you don’t get it back easily.

What’s Happening in Brooklyn Right Now

Brooklyn sellers are facing a more competitive landscape, especially in:

Brownstone markets
Condo resales
Co-op inventory

Buyers are cautious. They negotiate. They expect value.

That doesn’t mean homes aren’t selling.

It means they’re selling when:

The pricing strategy is sharp
The marketing is aggressive
The negotiation is strong

Nassau County & Long Island Sellers: Timing Is Strategic

On Long Island, inventory levels and buyer demand are hyper-local.

In certain Nassau County pockets, well-priced homes are still moving quickly.

But the sellers who assume “it’ll sell because inventory is low” are learning hard lessons.

Presentation and negotiation now matter more than ever.

Why Office-Level Production Matters to You as a Seller

When a Market Center is consistently taking listings, writing contracts, and closing transactions at scale, that translates into:

Real-time pricing data
Active buyer pipelines
Negotiation leverage
Deep local market awareness

You’re not hiring an agent guessing what the market is doing.

You’re hiring someone operating inside it every single week.

That difference impacts your final sale price.

3 Powerful Next Steps for Homeowners

If you’re even thinking about selling in 2026, do not guess.

�� #1 – Get a Strategic Home Value Review

Request a detailed, data-backed home value analysis specific to your neighborhood.

This is not a Zestimate. This is market positioning.

�� Request Your Strategic Home Value Review Today

�� #2 – Book a Seller Strategy Call

Before you list, talk through:

Timing

Pricing strategy

Expected net proceeds

Market positioning

Even if you’re 3–6 months out, clarity now prevents mistakes later.

�� We Will Match You With The Perfect Agent For A Strategy Call

Final Thought: Don’t Let the Market Decide for You

The biggest mistake homeowners are making right now isn’t selling.

It’s guessing.

The right decision depends on:

Your equity position

Your timeline

Your financial goals

Local demand in your exact neighborhood

If you’re in Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau County, or surrounding NYC areas, now is the time to get clarity — not headlines.

Because in 2026, strategy wins.

And sellers who prepare properly are still achieving strong results.

KW Landmark 2026: Building on a Billion-Dollar Foundation

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 18:34:12 GMT

After a historic 2025—highlighted by $1.2 Billion+ in Contracts Written—we didn’t slow down.

We accelerated.

As we move through 2026, KW Landmark I & II have already demonstrated that last year wasn’t luck. It was structure. It was leadership. It was culture. And most importantly—it was repeatable.

2026 Year-to-Date Performance

Here’s where we stand so far this year:

$82.5 Million in Closed Sales Volume

92 Closed Units

$65.3 Million in Listings Taken

77 Listings Secured

$69.8 Million in Contracts Written

90 Units Under Contract

Those numbers represent momentum. And momentum in real estate matters.

When listings are taken consistently and contracts are being written at scale, it signals something powerful:

the office isn’t reacting to the market — it’s operating confidently within it.

What These Numbers Really Mean

Volume is not just a vanity metric. It tells a deeper story about systems, skill, and client trust.

1. Listings Are Being Won

$65.3M in listings taken year-to-date means our agents are earning the trust of homeowners. In today’s environment, listings are not handed out—they are competed for. Securing them requires pricing precision, presentation strategy, and market knowledge.

2. Contracts Are Converting

With $69.8M in contracts written and 90 units under agreement, our agents are not just listing homes—they’re moving them. That reflects negotiation strength and buyer demand alignment.

3. Closings Are Being Delivered

$82.5M closed and 92 units sold means transactions are making it to the finish line. In complex NYC and Long Island markets, that’s not automatic. It requires proactive communication, problem-solving, and experience.

Why This Matters for Agents

At KW Landmark, performance like this confirms what we already know:

Our agents are trained for skill, not shortcuts.

We prioritize our clients and long-term pipeline building.

We operate from systems that create consistency.

Collaboration drives production.

A strong Market Center creates leverage. It creates referral flow. It creates accountability. It creates opportunity.

Agents who plug into an environment producing at this level are not guessing—they are building.

And that is exactly what we are committed to at Keller Williams Realty Landmark: becoming the destination for agents who want to grow intelligently and sustainably.

What This Translates Into for Clients

For home buyers and sellers across Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island, and surrounding NYC areas, these numbers mean something very practical:

If You’re Selling:

You’re working with agents who know how to win listings and price strategically.

Your property is represented by professionals active in the current market—not relying on last year’s playbook.

You benefit from collective experience across dozens of active transactions.

If You’re Buying:

You’re guided by agents who are negotiating contracts weekly.

You gain access to professionals deeply connected within the local market.

You work with a team that understands inventory shifts and buyer competition in real time.

Momentum at the office level creates confidence at the client level.

The Bigger Picture

2026 isn’t about chasing last year’s numbers.

It’s about proving that KW Landmark’s success is systematic. Predictable. Sustainable.

When a Market Center can follow up a billion-dollar year with strong, early momentum, it sends a clear message:

This is not a peak.

This is a pattern.

If you’re an agent looking for a high-performance environment—or a buyer or seller seeking proven guidance—KW Landmark continues to lead with clarity, consistency, and results.

Dream Board Night at KW Landmark: December 2025 Edition

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 01:06:30 GMT

Building Vision, Culture & a Bigger Future—Together

At Keller Williams Realty Landmark, we believe that success in real estate starts long before the next lead, the next listing appointment, or the next closing. It begins in your mindset , your vision , and your clarity about the life you want to build .

Today, our Market Center came together for one of our most impactful cultural events of the year—our Dream Board Event . And if you’ve never experienced one inside KW Landmark, here’s why it matters, and why it’s so meaningful to our agents, leaders, and partners.

❤️ A Culture Built on Vision, Not Chance

Real estate is one of the most demanding industries in the world. High highs, tough lows, constant change, and nonstop pressure. That’s why the strongest agents aren’t simply trained—they’re anchored .

Our culture at KW Landmark encourages every agent to think bigger, dream boldly, and connect their real estate careers with the life they truly want. A Dream Board isn’t arts & crafts—it’s a strategic GPS for success .

When agents create a vision board, they:

Clarify the goals that matter most
Reconnect to their “Why”
Prime their mind for focus and consistency
Reduce overwhelm by creating direction
Strengthen belief in what is possible

And inside a supportive community like ours, these visions gain momentum.

�� Why Dream Boards Matter in Real Estate

Top producers across Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island, and Manhattan all share something in common:

they know exactly what they’re working toward.

Dream Boards help agents stay aligned with:

✔ Income goals & GCI milestones

Agents visualize the listings, referrals, and opportunities they want to bring in.

✔ Health, lifestyle & family goals

Because the best careers are built around a better life.

✔ Personal development & leadership growth

From earning designations to leading teams to building wealth.

✔ Community, impact & giving back

KW culture thrives on contribution—and the Dream Board reflects that.

When the market shifts, motivation dips, or deals fall through, a Dream Board becomes a North Star that brings every agent back into alignment.

�� The Power of Doing This Together

What makes our Dream Board Event special isn’t just the activity—it’s the environment we create:

Tables filled with magazines, inspiration, and conversation
Agents collaborating, supporting, and encouraging one another
Laughter, storytelling, connection, and genuine bonding
New agents sitting beside top producers
Leaders sharing their big goals and inviting others to think bigger

This is culture in action.
This is community.
This is KW Landmark.

Agents walk in with a blank board—and walk out with clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to their business and to each other.

�� The Landmark Difference: A Brokerage That Helps You Build a Life by Design

At Keller Williams Realty Landmark, we train, coach, and support our agents at the highest level—but we also do something far more meaningful:

We invest in their dreams.

Our commitment goes beyond contracts and closings. We believe every agent deserves:

A career worth having
A business worth owning
A life worth living
And a legacy worth leaving

The Dream Board Event is one of the most powerful expressions of that mission.

�� Want to Experience This Culture for Yourself?

If you’re an agent in Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island, or Manhattan who wants to level up your business and your life, we invite you to come see what makes KW Landmark different.

Mid-November Momentum at KW Landmark: What We’ve Built So Far & What’s Coming Next

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 18:35:53 GMT

launching us into 2026!

We’re halfway through November, and the energy at Keller Williams Realty Landmark is very real! From skill-sharpening classes to culture-building events, the last two weeks have been all about doing the activities that move the needle: lead generation, mastering our tools, serving our clients at a higher level, and attracting talent to our Market Center.

As we roll into the coming week, this is your reminder: How you finish November will set the tone for your 2026!

Takeaways From the First Half of November

1. Skills + Reps = Confidence (Script & Roleplay + Prospecting Hours)

Our daily Script & Roleplay (10:00–11:00 AM) and Prospecting Hours (9:00–11:00 AM) aren’t just calendar items – they’re the foundation of a top-producer business.

Key lesson for our agents:

If it’s on the calendar, it’s a commitment, not a suggestion.
The agents who show up consistently for scripts and lead gen are the ones who build predictable listings, pipelines, and paychecks.
Every session is another rep that makes real client conversations feel easier and more natural.

If your 2026 goals include more closings and more listings, this is where it starts – in these “boring” but powerful blocks you protect every week.

2. Tech & AI Are Now Basic Tools of the Trade

We’ve leaned into technology and AI in a big way already this month:

Video: Command Tips from the Pros
Video: Command Automation and Lead Conversion
RPR’s Customizable Property Reports (Zoom Webinar)
Make More Money by Leveraging AI with Justin Puderbach

These sessions all point to one reality:

> The agents who thrive now are the ones who can combine human connection with smart automation and data.

From nurturing your database with low-cost 12-month touch plans, to using Command and RPR to walk into every appointment with powerful market data, the theme is clear:

Use tech to do more, faster.
Use AI to support your follow-up, not replace your relationships.

And when we talk about lead generation, outreach, and follow-up, we are always keeping one thing front and center:

> At KW Landmark, our training is designed to help you grow while staying fully TCPA compliant and respecting the Do Not Call list and all relevant laws and regulations. We want you to build a huge business — the right way.

3. Serve Deeper, Not Just “More” – Expertise-Focused Training

Another big theme from the first half of November has been deepening expertise so our agents can bring more value to every client conversation. Our calendar has included topics like:

Probate and Estate Planning with Leslie Sultan – Helping you navigate sensitive life transitions with clarity and professional partners.
Buying and Selling at the Same Time with Igor Lipkin – A critical skill set in our move-up and downsizing markets.
Video: Manage Multiple Offer Negotiations – Because strategy and communication win for your clients.
Video: Build Your Low-Cost 12-Month Touch Program – Staying top of mind without breaking the bank.
Video: Host Holiday Events That Clients Actually Attend – Using community events to deepen relationships and generate referrals.

These aren’t “fluff” classes – they’re the difference between:

Being a real estate agent…

And being the trusted adviser your clients recommend over and over again.

4. Culture, Community & Collaboration Are Our Edge

KW Landmark doesn’t just push hard on training; we build a culture where people actually want to show up:

KW Landmark’s Vendor Day – Bringing in strategic partners to support your business and your clients.

KW Landmark’s Annual Potluck – Breaking bread, building relationships, and strengthening our culture.

KW Landmark I & II’s Basket Brigade – Giving back to the community together and reminding ourselves why we hustle in the first place.

These aren’t “extra.” They’re part of why we attract driven, collaborative agents who want to grow in an environment that feels like family and performs like a business.

Sessions like “Overcome Your Fear of Sphere” and “Command Automation and Lead Conversion” keep circling back to the core of our business:

��Action for this week:

Choose at least two trainings or events you will 100% attend.
Block out every Prospecting Hour and Script & Roleplay session you can make.
Show up ready to participate, take notes, and implement one new thing the same day.
