You should have an estimate as to what your net proceeds are going to be when selling your home. I’ve broken down what’s included in the calculation of net seller proceeds below.

โ€Net proceeds are the total dollar amount a home seller receives from the sale of a house after accounting for all expenses like holding costs, commissions, and fees incurred during the sale.โ€

  • Desired sale price
  • Remaining mortgage owed (including any prepayment penalties, if applicable)

โ€This factors in any work you need to do or choose to complete prior to listing your home for sale. Make sure to discuss these projects with your realtor so you can make impactful decisions that bring valueโ€

  • Home improvements
  • Cleaning & preparation
  • Pre-listing inspections (if you and your realtor discuss and choose it’s best to have them done prior to listing the home)

โ€Costs you incur as a homeowner during the time you are on marketโ€

  • Monthly mortgage payments
  • Homeowners insurance
  • Property taxes

  • Realtor/broker commissions
  • Title, escrow & recording fees
  • Taxes (sellers usually pay local transfer taxes & property taxes get prorated.)

Depending on your gains and how long you have owned the property being sold you may be required to pay short-term capital gains taxes and or state withholding taxes.

When working with me I will always supply you with a breakdown of your estimated net proceeds prior to listing your home and will submit an additional updated breakdown prior to closing.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out via text, call, email, or on social media.
