Before you list your Indianapolis home, you deserve to know the real number — what you'll actually net after all costs. Your Realty Link provides free seller net sheets for every homeowner we work with.
Every home seller thinks about the sale price. Fewer think carefully about what they'll actually walk away with — until they're sitting at the closing table and see the final settlement statement for the first time. That moment of surprise isn't pleasant when the number is lower than expected. A seller net sheet eliminates that surprise. It's a detailed estimate of your proceeds after every cost is accounted for — and at Your Realty Link, we provide one to every seller before they make a single decision about listing. Because the most important number in a home sale isn't the sale price. It's the check you receive at the end.
Selling a home involves more costs than most homeowners realize going in. Some are straightforward; others depend on your specific situation. Understanding each one helps you plan accurately and make confident decisions. Here's what a typical Indiana seller net sheet accounts for:
Janet Giles-Schultz and our MIBOR member agents prepare seller net sheets as part of every listing consultation — at no cost and with no obligation to list. We start with a realistic sale price range from your Comparative Market Analysis, then work through each cost line with the precision it deserves. We won't give you a rosy number by understating your costs. We also won't be unnecessarily pessimistic. The goal is accuracy — a net sheet that reflects what you'll realistically walk away with so you can make an informed decision about whether and when to sell, what price to list at, and how to evaluate incoming offers. When you receive an offer at a price below asking, understanding your net sheet helps you evaluate whether it's truly worth countering or accepting — numbers, not emotions, drive that conversation.
You'll know your estimated net before you list — so the final settlement statement is a confirmation, not a shock.
Comparing offers becomes clear when you can run each one through the net sheet and see which actually puts more money in your pocket.
Knowing your bottom line gives you confidence in negotiation — you know exactly where you can flex and where you can't.
If the numbers don't work right now, we'll tell you — and help you think through what would need to change to make them work.
Sellers who understand their net sheet make better decisions at every stage of the transaction. They price strategically — because they can model what different list prices mean for their proceeds. They evaluate offers clearly — because they can run any offer through the net sheet instantly and compare apples to apples. They negotiate from a position of knowledge — because they know exactly what concessions they can afford to make. And they close without regret — because the outcome was anticipated and planned for, not a surprise. Whether you're selling in Greenwood, Beech Grove, or anywhere across Central Indiana, a net sheet is the foundation of a smart sale. Pair it with our home pricing strategy and you'll approach your listing with genuine confidence.

Indiana sellers typically pay real estate agent commissions, title insurance (owner's policy), closing/settlement fees, any outstanding mortgage payoff, property tax proration (your share of taxes through the closing date), and potentially HOA transfer fees if applicable. Sellers may also agree to credit the buyer for closing costs or repairs as part of negotiation. The exact amounts vary by transaction — your seller net sheet will itemize all of these based on your specific home and estimated sale price.
A seller net sheet is a detailed estimate of what you'll receive in hand after all costs are paid from the sale of your home. It starts with the estimated sale price and subtracts every cost you're responsible for — agent commission, closing costs, your mortgage payoff, tax prorations, and any agreed-upon buyer credits. The result is your estimated net proceeds. Every seller should have a net sheet before listing so they understand their real financial picture — not just the sale price.
Indiana does have a county transfer tax, though it is relatively modest compared to many other states. The exact amount depends on the county your home is located in and the sale price. Your Realty Link will include the applicable transfer tax in your seller net sheet so you have a complete picture of your costs.
A seller net sheet is an estimate — not a guarantee. The actual numbers at closing will vary based on the final negotiated sale price, any concessions agreed to during the transaction, your exact mortgage payoff amount on the closing date, and final title and settlement fees. That said, a carefully prepared net sheet from Your Realty Link is a reliable planning tool that gets you close to your actual outcome. The real numbers will be confirmed by your title company before closing.
