Real estate commission can be one of the largest expenses associated with selling a home. The Jamil Brothers offer a flexible, full-service listing commission from 1.5% on homes listed at $500,000 or more, helping eligible sellers potentially reduce their home selling costs without sacrificing professional service. Use the comparison below to see how commission differences can affect your estimated home sale proceeds.

Listing fee comparison only. The 3% column is a hypothetical rate, not a quote from any brokerage, and savings are estimates, not guarantees. The 1.5% listing-side fee applies to homes listed at $500,000 or more; final terms are set in the signed listing agreement. Buyer agent compensation, transfer taxes, and closing costs are identical regardless of listing fee.

What Is a Seller Net Sheet?
A seller net sheet estimates how much money you may receive from selling your home after subtracting your mortgage payoff, real estate commission, seller closing costs, taxes, concessions, and other transaction expenses.
It helps homeowners compare potential sale prices and understand their expected financial outcome before putting a home on the market.
Sale Price
Your estimated or expected home selling price based on current market conditions.
Selling Costs
Estimated commissions, closing expenses, taxes, concessions, and other seller fees.
Net Proceeds
The estimated amount remaining after applicable selling expenses and mortgage payoff.
A seller net sheet is an itemized estimate of the costs you'll pay when selling your home — and the proceeds you'll walk away with after closing. It accounts for your mortgage payoff, real estate commissions, transfer and grantor taxes, title and settlement fees, and any additional credits or concessions you've agreed to with the buyer.
In the DMV market, closing costs vary significantly depending on where your property is located. Virginia sellers pay a grantor tax (with an additional regional tax in Northern Virginia), Maryland sellers split a state transfer tax plus county-specific transfer and recordation taxes, and DC sellers pay a deed transfer tax that changes based on the sale price. These differences can shift your net proceeds by thousands of dollars — which is why a county-specific calculator matters.
Most sellers receive a preliminary net sheet from their listing agent before going on the market, and a final version from the title company before closing. Our calculator above gives you an instant, no-login estimate using the actual tax rates for your specific county or jurisdiction — so you can plan with confidence before you even talk to an agent.
A common mistake sellers make is focusing only on the sale price without accounting for the costs that come out of it. Two identical homes selling for $800,000 in Fairfax County and Montgomery County will produce very different net proceeds because of how each jurisdiction structures its transfer taxes. Your net sheet is what turns a sale price into a real number you can plan around.
Typical Seller Closing Costs by State
The cost to sell a house varies by state, county, property, contract terms, and negotiated expenses. Below are common cost categories sellers may encounter throughout our service area.
Virginia Seller Closing Costs
Sellers pay a grantor tax of 0.10% statewide. Northern Virginia localities add two regional fees of 0.10% each (WMATA Capital and Congestion Relief), for about 0.30% total. Buyers customarily pay recordation separately.
NoVA: 0.30% · Most of VA: 0.10%
Maryland Seller Closing Costs
Sellers share the 0.5% state transfer tax plus county transfer and recordation taxes that vary widely, from roughly 0.5% up to 1.5% in Baltimore City. Your county drives the final number.
Ranges from 0.50% to 1.50% by county
Washington, DC Seller Closing Costs
DC charges a tiered deed transfer tax: 1.1% on sales under $400,000 and 1.45% at $400,000 and above. Buyers pay recordation at the same rates, making DC one of the highest seller transfer costs in the DMV.
Under $400K: 1.10% · $400K+: 1.45%
West Virginia Seller Closing Costs
West Virginia charges a state excise tax of $1.10 per $500 (0.22%) plus a county excise tax of at least $0.55 per $500 (0.11%). Counties can raise their share up to $1.65 per $500, so confirm your county's rate before you list.
State 0.22% + County 0.11%–0.33%
DMV Transfer & Recording Taxes by County
Your estimated seller closing costs in Virginia, Maryland, DC, and West Virginia can vary depending on where the property is located. Search for your county to find current transfer and grantor tax rates:
Rates reflect the seller's share of transfer/grantor/recordation taxes and are current as of November 2026. Some West Virginia counties charge more than the standard county rate; confirm with the county clerk. Buyer-paid taxes (e.g., VA recordation, DC recordation) are not shown. Use the calculator above for a full net proceeds estimate including all closing costs for your specific county.
