What will I walk away with?

Before you sell, it helps to know what's left at the end. Put in your numbers and see about how much money you keep.

About what you walk away with
Each person gets about

Some cities add their own transfer tax on top of the county's. Not counted here: income or capital gains tax.

This is a rough estimate to help you plan. It is not a quote, an appraisal or tax advice. Angela can give you real numbers for your home.

Understand your numbers

What each line means

Sale price

What the buyer pays. A good price opinion from a local agent is the best place to start.

Loans to pay off

Every loan on the home gets paid at closing. That includes a reverse mortgage, a home equity line, and any liens or back taxes.

Commission

What the agents are paid. It comes out of the sale, so you don’t pay it up front.

Escrow, title and fees

Escrow handles the money and papers. Title insurance protects the buyer. Together they often run about 1% of the price.

County transfer tax

California counties charge $1.10 for every $1,000 of the price. Some cities add their own tax on top.

Split among heirs

In an estate or trust, the money left over is usually split the way the will or trust says. This tool splits it evenly so you can see a rough number.

Tips

Good to know

Ask for a payoff letter

Your lender will give you the exact amount to pay off the loan, down to the day. Use that number, not your last statement.

Watch out for buyer credits

If the buyer asks for money for repairs, it comes out of your side. Good negotiation keeps that small.

Don't over-fix

Big repairs before a sale often don't pay back. Angela will tell you which small fixes are worth it.

Questions

Questions people ask

Is the money split before or after costs?

After. The loans and costs are paid first at closing, then what's left goes to the seller, the estate or the trust.

Do heirs pay tax on an inherited home?

Often less than people think, because the home's value is usually reset to what it was worth when the owner passed. Every case is different, so please ask a CPA or tax attorney.

When do we get the money?

At closing. For an estate or trust it goes to the estate or trust account first, then gets paid out to the heirs.

Is this number exact?

No. It's a close guess. Angela can give you a written net sheet for your home, free.
