Broker compensation
Compensation and service terms are negotiable and should be documented in the applicable written agreement.
Cost of selling
What might you take away from the sale?
The sale price is only the starting point. A useful estimate also includes loan payoffs, selling expenses, preparation, possible credits, timing, and moving costs.
Build the estimate
Six costs that can affect your proceeds.
The final amount depends on your property and contract. Current figures may need to come from your lender, title company, tax professional, attorney, or association.
Loan and lien payoffs
Mortgage balances, credit lines, liens, and payoff processing can affect the amount available at closing.
Closing and transfer items
Title, settlement, recording, documentary-stamp, legal, association, and other charges depend on the contract and transaction.
Preparation and repairs
Cleaning, maintenance, staging, storage, repairs, inspections, permits, and property access may create pre-closing costs.
Credits and concessions
Contract terms may include buyer credits, repair arrangements, rate-related contributions, or other negotiated amounts.
Move and transition
Moving, temporary housing, overlap between properties, utilities, insurance, and carrying time belong in the larger plan.
Compare a few outcomes
Do not plan around only one possible sale price.
It can help to look at a conservative, middle, and stronger price. Keep the known costs in each estimate and wait for current payoff and closing figures before relying on the proceeds.

Understand the possible proceeds before choosing your next move.
