Yes. Seller's pay some state fees (such as a deed tax), and sometimes a few title fees (abstract updates), but the fees are nowhere near as much as what buyers pay - due to the various required documents in the buyers loan.

If you list with an agent, you'll pay approximately 5-6% of the sales price as a commission. There are cheaper alternatives like Help You Sell, which I believe charge a flat rate. If you try to sell your house yourself, you should probably have an attorney to help draw up the papers, which would also cost some money.

Sellers pay a commission to the Realtor. Even a 'for sale by owner' home will pay the buyers agent a commission if they want any buyers represented by a Realtor to see the home. Statistics show a good Realtor sell homes for about 15% more than an individual owner. (The buyer reads for sale buy owner as "no commission" and offers less.) Some closing costs are NORMALLY paid buy the seller. These are actually negotiable. Either the buyer or seller may agree to pay them. If the seller agrees to pay costs normally paid by the seller, they will offer less for the sales price.

One way or the other it does.
