How do I figure out what I will actually net on a home sale?

Figuring out your actual net starts with your expected sale price, then subtracting your remaining mortgage payoff, any agent compensation you agree to pay, attorney fees, prorated property taxes, and Georgia's transfer tax, which runs $1 for the first $1,000 of consideration and 10 cents for each additional $100. A closing attorney provides an estimated settlement statement before closing that itemizes every deduction specific to your sale. Getting that estimate early, rather than assuming a round number, avoids surprises at the closing table. Joel Boss can build a realistic net estimate before you decide to list.
