Seller concessions

Costs you agree to cover for the buyer — such as closing cost credits or repair allowances — to help the deal move forward.

Selling Guide

Understand every dollar between your sale price and what lands in your pocket

1

Selling costs

Most home sales come with a handful of fees that quietly reduce your proceeds: agent commissions, title and escrow charges, transfer taxes, and any repairs a buyer requests after inspection.

Together, these can add up to 8–12% of your sale price. Knowing each cost ahead of time — instead of discovering it at closing — is the whole point of this calculator.

2

Maximize your proceeds

Small moves make a real difference: get multiple offers before committing to a buyer, negotiate commission rates, and only complete repairs a buyer will actually pay you back for.

It also helps to compare your timeline against your bottom line. A faster sale with fewer concessions can sometimes net you more than a longer listing with a higher sticker price.

3

Cash offer vs. listing

Listing with an agent can bring a higher sale price, but it comes with commissions, staging costs, repairs, and weeks or months of uncertainty before you close.

A cash offer from West Sound trades some top-line price for speed and certainty — no showings, no repairs, and a close date you choose. Which option nets more depends on your home, timeline, and priorities.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the calculator, your net proceeds, and selling with West Sound.

What is a home sale calculator and how does it work?
It estimates your net proceeds by starting with your expected sale price and subtracting typical selling costs — agent fees, closing costs, repairs, and your mortgage payoff — to show what you could walk away with.
What are "net proceeds" from a home sale?
Net proceeds are the amount of money you keep after your home sells, once every fee, cost, and remaining loan balance has been subtracted from the final sale price.
How accurate is this calculator?
It's a planning tool built on typical, market-wide cost ranges. Your actual numbers will depend on your specific home, buyer negotiations, and local requirements, so treat this as an estimate rather than a guarantee.
What real estate agent fees should I expect to pay?
In a traditional sale, sellers typically pay a combined commission of around 5–6% of the sale price, split between the listing agent and the buyer's agent.
What are seller concessions?
Seller concessions are costs you agree to cover on the buyer's behalf, such as a credit toward their closing costs or an allowance for repairs, in order to keep the deal moving.
Do I have to pay for staging and prep work?
It's not required, but many sellers invest in cleaning, minor cosmetic updates, or staging to make the home more appealing, which can affect both your sale price and timeline.
What is title, escrow, notary, and transfer tax?
These are the administrative and legal costs required to officially close the sale — title insurance protects against ownership disputes, escrow holds funds during the transaction, and transfer tax is charged by your state or county.
What if I still owe money on my mortgage?
Your remaining mortgage balance is paid off directly from your sale proceeds at closing, before any money reaches you. Enter your current payoff amount in the calculator to see its effect on your net proceeds.
What are homeownership and overlap costs?
These are the costs of carrying two homes at once if your move-out date and your new move-in date overlap, including a second mortgage payment, utilities, and insurance.
How can I lower my selling costs?
You can negotiate commission rates, limit concessions, only make repairs that are truly necessary, and compare a traditional listing against a cash offer to see which path costs less overall.
What repairs are typically required before selling?
This varies by home and buyer, but common requests include addressing safety or code issues found during inspection, such as electrical, plumbing, roofing, or structural concerns.
How does selling to West Sound differ from listing with an agent?
Selling to West Sound means no showings, no staging, no repairs, and no agent commissions — you receive a direct cash offer and choose your own closing date, trading some potential sale price for speed and certainty.
How fast can I close with a cash offer?
Cash offers typically allow for a much faster close than a traditional listing, often in as little as a couple of weeks, since there's no financing contingency or open-market showing period involved.
Will I get a lower offer with West Sound than the open market?
Cash offers are often below top-of-market listing prices, but once you subtract commissions, repairs, concessions, and carrying costs from a traditional sale, the net difference is often smaller than it first appears.
Is there a fee for getting a cash offer from West Sound?
No. Requesting an offer is free and comes with no obligation to accept it.
What factors affect my home's sale price?
Location, condition, recent comparable sales, current market demand, interest rates, and how your home is priced and presented all play a role in determining its final sale price.
How is my home's value estimated?
Estimates are typically based on recent sales of comparable homes nearby, your home's size, condition, and features, and current local market trends.
Can I use this calculator if I have a HELOC or second mortgage?
Yes — include the combined payoff balance of all loans secured against your home in the mortgage payoff field to get a more accurate net proceeds estimate.
What closing costs does the seller typically pay?
Sellers commonly pay agent commissions, a portion of title and escrow fees, transfer taxes, and any agreed-upon concessions, though exactly what's covered can be negotiated as part of the sale.
