How do I estimate my net proceeds before I list?

Estimating net proceeds starts with your likely sale price and works backward from there rather than applying a flat rule of thumb. Subtract the mortgage payoff, the deed recording fee, attorney fees and any negotiated repairs or concessions, since South Carolina law requires an attorney to handle the closing itself. Brian Beatty prepares a net sheet using real, current figures for a specific property rather than a rough online calculator. Sellers see every line item before deciding whether the timing and price make sense.
