For Realtors

Net Sheet

Please e-mail me for a copy

This is a Microsoft Excel 2003 worksheet that I designed to assist in the calculation of the net proceeds available to the Seller after the reduction of the purchase price by certain costs of sale.

The "Short Sheet" report calculates the net proceeds after reduction of the purchase price by the commission, the estimated title charges, the State, County and Municipal Revenue Stamps, survey and a homeowner/condominium association fee.

The "Detailed Sheet" report more closely resembles a Buyer/Seller closing statement and includes most of the Seller charges that can be estimated at the time of Listing, including all charges shown on the "Short Sheet", together with the Real Estate Taxes unpaid and prorated, the mortgage payoffs, the Seller's payment of any Buyer's closing costs and home warranty. Additional lines are available for insertion of any additional costs anticipated at the outset.

Both sheets make use of a municipal transfer tax calculator that has been prepared with information available as of December 30, 2007.
