How Much Money Will I Actually Walk Away With After Selling?

Sale price minus payoff isn't the whole story. Here's what else comes out.

By Shaune Corbett

Start with the big three

Your mortgage payoff, real estate commissions and title/closing fees are usually the largest items. Commissions are negotiable and vary by agreement.

Then the items people forget

Property taxes in Texas are paid in arrears and prorated at closing, so sellers typically credit the buyer for the portion of the year they owned the home. Add HOA transfer fees, repairs or credits from the inspection, and any closing cost help you agree to give the buyer.

Estimate before you list

Knowing your likely net helps you decide whether to sell at all, set a price floor, and plan your next purchase. Your title company will provide the official figures once you're under contract.

Use Shaune Corbett Group's Seller Net Estimate to compare possible sale prices with your payoff and likely costs before committing to a selling path.

Talk it through

Before you choose a price, a repair budget, or an offer, let's compare your selling options.

A call with Shaune is a practical conversation about your home:

  • Where your price is likely to land, based on recent nearby sales
  • Which preparation is worth considering — and what to skip
  • How different offers and selling options trade off
  • How your sale timing fits your next move

No form required — call with a question.
