The home sale net proceeds calculator in Virginia works on the following formula:
Net Proceeds = Home Selling Price – (Real Estate Agent’s Commission + Mortgage Payoffs + Other Seller Closing Costs)
This is the target amount sellers expect to get when they sell their homes. Pricing a home requires research. Compare prices of homes in your neighborhood with a comparative market analysis, and consider Virginia’s current real estate market.
It is the remaining balance on the home loan. Reach out to your mortgage lender to get an exact amount, including interest rates and prepayment penalties.
Sellers lose a big chunk of their house sale in real estate agent commissions. It’s usually 5% to 6% of the home sale price.
At Houzeo, we understand how much profit you can lose in real estate agent commissions. That’s why we offer Flat Fee MLS plans, allowing you to list your house on the MLS for a flat fee and save on the listing agent’s commission.
Apart from the remaining mortgage balance and real estate agent commissions, seller closing costs in Virginia usually add up to 2% to 3% of the home sale price.
