Selling
Sell my house in Ladue: what it costs.
Here is the math in plain words. Say your Ladue home sells for $1,500,000 and you owe $600,000. Start with $1,500,000 and subtract the $600,000 payoff. Then subtract the lines that vary: title and closing fees, prorated property taxes, any repairs or credits you agree to after the inspection, and the commission you negotiate.
At this price, small percentages are big dollars: one percent of $1,500,000 is $15,000, so every credit and fee is worth negotiating. Missouri has no real estate transfer tax. Commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable. You see every line on a net sheet, in writing, before you list. Run your own numbers.

A traditional listing with ROI-focused prep, a written timeline and pricing built on homes that sold nearby.
Certainty First Plan

Discreet, high-end presentation with showings limited to qualified buyers.
Move with a plan, not pressure.
Buying
Buying one of the Ladue homes for sale.
Half of September's Ladue sales closed above list (Redfin), so line up a full pre-approval or proof of funds and an offer plan before you tour.
Ask for the zoning district, survey and permit history early, especially if you plan to add on or rebuild, since the Architectural Review Board reviews most exterior projects. If you want a quiet search for a specific street or lot size, text me and I'll set it up.
