Estimating Closing Costs
Your closing costs are the total of the charges generally paid by the seller to close the transaction. These vary by transaction and some are negotiable between the buyer and seller. Your Realtor® will be glad to help you estimate the cost to sell your home.

Estimating Seller's Net Proceeds
Probably the most important question for you to answer is "How much will I net from the sale of my home?"

Your Realtor will be happy to help you calculate that figure. In order to do the calculation, please provide your agent with the following:

• Your anticipated sales price.
• The interest rate on your current loan and approximate unpaid principal balance.
• Your estimated closing costs and credits
