% to budget for seller closing costs?
I am trying to figure out seller closing costs on the back end of a flip before I set my offer price. Does anyone have a formula or percentage that has proven reliable?
I've searched the BP forums and didn't find anything concrete.
I'm in Denver and the house is in Golden if that makes a difference.

I always just do a rough 10% of sales price.. Assuming you don't have a license.. Sometimes it might go a bit above 10% but the formula is pretty close.
2.5%-3% for Your agent
2.5-3% for buyers agent
3% most buyers ask for closing cost help
1% for title company fees/transfers taxes..
