Using Seller Net Sheets and Buyer Estimates to Win Listings and Offers

Using Seller Net Sheets and Buyer Estimates to Win Listings and Offers — Sure Title Company Memphis

Clients care about one number more than any other: how much they walk away with (sellers) or need to bring (buyers). Showing that number early builds trust and helps you win.

What a seller net sheet shows

  • Sale price
  • Mortgage payoff(s) and liens
  • Commissions as agreed
  • Title charges and recording fees
  • Tennessee transfer tax, if the seller pays it
  • Prorated property taxes
  • Seller concessions and repairs
  • Estimated net proceeds

Use it at the listing appointment

Bring net sheets at two or three price points. Sellers can see how pricing and concessions affect their bottom line, and you become the agent who brought real numbers instead of guesses.

Compare offers side by side

When multiple offers arrive, a net comparison often reveals that the highest price isn’t the best deal once concessions, closing dates, and loan types are considered.

Buyer cost estimates

For buyers, an estimate of cash to close — down payment, title insurance, lender charges, recording taxes, prepaids, and escrow deposits — prevents surprises and helps decide whether to ask for seller concessions.
