Seller's Net Sheet
An estimate showing how much money a seller will actually walk away with after all sale costs.
In plain English
A net sheet, prepared by a listing agent, estimates the seller's proceeds after subtracting the mortgage payoff, agent commissions, closing costs, and any concessions — helping the seller evaluate whether an offer works for them.
Why it matters
As a buyer, understanding that sellers are thinking in terms of net proceeds — not just headline price — can help you craft a more effective offer strategy.
