The sale price is the top line, not the amount that lands in your account. A useful net sheet estimates the mortgage payoff, brokerage compensation, title and closing charges, transfer-related costs, taxes, credits, and other agreed expenses.

Mortgage and lien payoffs

The closing company obtains payoff figures for the current mortgage and any other liens that must be cleared. The amount can differ from the balance shown on a monthly statement because of interest and payoff fees.

Transaction and closing expenses

Brokerage compensation, title work, settlement charges, recording items, and Wisconsin transfer-related costs may reduce proceeds. The exact allocation depends on the contract and the service providers involved.

Taxes, credits, and repairs

Property-tax prorations, seller credits, inspection negotiations, association charges, municipal bills, and agreed repairs can materially change the final number.

Build a range before you list

A seller net sheet should be updated as the price, timing, offer terms, and payoff information change. Treat it as a planning tool, not a guarantee down to the penny.
