Seller responsible for getting the house "Ready for Showtime".  Listing Agent typically responsible for expense of Professional Photos and Virtual Tour - tourfactory.com does a great job for a reasonable price here.  Cost of yard sign and installation, lockbox, any other online marketing and print marketing...

Actually, this is a great question, filed under 'things they don't teach you in real estate school'. Buyer, seller and broker costs vary by region, property and transaction type and a host of other things.
Listing broker's costs are typically related to marketing. NOT participating in sellers required transaction costs.
Preparing home for market, seller required inspections and certifications are seller costs.
I got [an AR] referral many years ago, real estate broker client, thought I should foot the bill for trashout, professional cleaning, repairs, seller inspections and a bunch of other stuff. I tossed her back in the drink. Not our job to address their deferred maintenance.
Many listing brokers will offer staging services as part of their package, but these are negotiable points.
Seller's baby, seller needs to burp it and change its diapers. 😈

Make sure you are not Anonymous and have a profile photo.

Depends on what services you provide for your client that cost money and depends on what support you get from your brokerage. I pay for everything out of pocket at RE/MAX because I don't split commissions.

Oh my heavens.  Do you have a broker, a mentor, someone to work side by side with to teach you this?  

These fees are all covered in the "Anonymous Blue Shadow Face Manual."  

This is not a question for a public forum.

You only pay for the cost of promoting/marketing the house...nothing else...and don't let "friendship" blur the lines...

Anything that has to do with marketing the home effectively, unless you'd like to give away your money for home owner's expenses.

Please find a good mentor!

We don't pay seller inspection costs. We do pay marketing costs - such as professional photos which will be used to show the property in the best way possible across the Internet.

I would make that a buyer expense, but every thing is negotiable.

In a nutshell, what Barbara Todaro said - professional photography & videography (including drone photography for some properties), professional measuring, staging consultation and any and all marketing & advertising.

Of course, you have to maintain your license and pay costs associated with that as well.

Your only expense should be marketing the property. I recommend you NOT list the home until you know what you're doing. It's irresponsible to charge money for expertise you do not yet possess.

You would pay any marketing costs, professional photography fees, and the like. Inspections, appraisals, repairs, are negotiated and can be paid by either seller or buyer. 

It's all covered in the Blue Man Manual

In SoCal the listing agent usually pays for all marketing: photography, video, areal shots, printed and online ads, open houses ( food and drinks). The rest is optional. 

Well part of it will depend on your agreeent with your broker.

But ads, photos and other marketing

Marketing expenses, that's it.  Inspections and reports are the responsibility of the buyer.

 Pay for the marketing of the house.  If you start paying for pre-inspections, appraisals, etc. you will go broke.

Fees for photos, including your own: 

You can get talked into paying anything you agree to, but only marketing expenses are "expected". 

First thing is you should go over with your broker, what the comoany pays and what the agent hould pay. SECOND at no  time should the listing agent be ordering or paying termite or such inspection, that is the way it is in NH anyway. It is normal for an agent to pay marketing costs, ads and such....

you pay for and take full responsibility for the marketing....

You will not be paying for inspections. Your big costs are usually the marketing expenses.

Advertising / Marketing

I think that depends on how you want to run your business.  There are all types of costs associated with listing a home, some agents spend more than others.  As long as your clear with the seller what you will and won't pay for prior to listing, it's your business.

It depends on your market and what your broker pays for you. But generally, you will pay for your own promotion, marketing, photos, signs, advertising.

A lot of good answers here.

It depends, it is something you need to discuss with your broker.

None if you do all the 'footwork' in marketing. Signage, mls insertion, etc.

Traditionally, agents pay 'traditional' marketing expenses. Ultra unique, such as a $25,000,000 dollar property may incurred shared marketing expenses.

Some agents create 'diferriention' by stacking services and solutions not offered by other agents. This 'one-upsmanship'can prove costly.

Termite inspections, home inspections, land use research are all items an agent COULD do and pay for, however, as with all things regarding real estate professional fees, IT IS NEGOTIABLE.

In the situation you describe, I would want to PROTECT the seller by having the house PRE-INSPECTED by a inspector of your choice with whom you have given special instruction. This is insurance and rebuttal in the event a buyer attempts to ambush the seller with the report from a 'I can save you $1,000' advertised inspectors.

There are other costs which are not house or transaction specific. These costs are represented in the annual programs to which you will eventually subscribe.

The reality is for some agents the entire marketing effort is the 3P's

1. Put a sign in the yard
2. Put in MLS
3. Pray

With the last unspoken line being keep never stop pursuing a price beat-down.

You assume marketing costs and the seller assumes other costs as negotiated in the contract.

Others have given you good advice.

Ask title company, they will give you a numbers for closing

Yes, good be to go to title company web and do calculation

Good question here. And there are great answers.

Depends on how much you want to do.  Do not pay for inspection fees.

The photography and brochures.   Do you already have signs?
