THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER
What could you walk away with?
Enter what you think your home could sell for to see an estimate after selling costs.
ESTIMATED NET PROCEEDS
Before your mortgage payoff. Any loan balance, seller credits, or repairs would reduce this amount.
Your estimated selling costs
- Agent commission (6%)
- Title, legal & recording
- Property tax allowance
- Title insurance & transfer
- Estimated selling costs
Assumes a negotiable 6% commission and automatic closing-fee allowances. Example annual taxes are 1.2% of sale price, with a 1.538 planning factor; actual property taxes and closing timing vary.
A planning estimate, not a closing statement. We’ll confirm your property's taxes, payoff, and actual costs when we review your home together.

Can I buy before selling?
Buy first
Move before preparing your current home. Confirm that you qualify for both homes and can cover the down payment and overlapping costs.
Connect the two sales
A home-sale contingency can connect your purchase to your sale proceeds. Seller acceptance, deadlines, and protections affect how the plan works.
Sell first
Know your proceeds before buying. Plan for temporary housing or agreed post-closing possession if the dates do not line up.
Ask your lender about bridge or eligible equity financing if your down payment is tied up in the current home. Confirm costs, qualification, and repayment before relying on it.
