Thinking about selling · California

Know what you'll walk away with, before you list.

The highest estimate is the easiest thing for an agent to hand you, and the least useful. What matters is what reaches your account once commission, escrow, title, transfer tax, and the payoff come out. We'll work that out with you, then introduce one agent who closes in your ZIP. You'll get the number we actually believe, not the one that wins the business.

You are never charged, whatever you decide. Buying instead? Start here.

What you'd walk away with.

Price minus what leaves at closing: commission, escrow, title, transfer tax, repairs, and whatever is still owed. Change anything that looks wrong for your home. Nothing here is saved or sent.

Your number

Expected sale price Your own figure, not an estimate from us

What you still owe

Mortgage payoff From your latest statement. A payoff quote runs slightly higher

Second loan, HELOC, solar, or liens

Commission

Negotiable, and always has been. Since the 2024 industry settlement, what you offer the buyer's broker is a separate decision from what you pay your own agent, and it can be zero.

About this estimate. A projection from figures you entered and default cost assumptions common to Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. It is not an appraisal, a broker price opinion, a loan estimate, or a closing disclosure, and it is not legal, tax, or financial advice. Actual costs are set by your escrow, title, and agent agreements and will differ.

Why it matters

Experience changes what an agent tells you.

An agent reviewing comparable sales with a homeowner

A price they'll defend

Overpricing costs you the first three weeks. A seasoned agent gives you the real number at the first appointment.

A living room being prepared for photography

Prep that pays for itself

Which repairs return more than they cost, and which don't.

Repairs that don't blow up the deal

Deals are won or lost after the inspection. You want someone who has done it hundreds of times.

Sixty seconds each

Watch how selling actually works.

Five short videos: what it costs, why the first number is usually wrong, the order things happen in, what to ask any agent, and what to do if you owe more than it's worth.

Commission is between you and your agent. We don't set it, cap it, or take a cut of your proceeds.
