Seller guides
What you keep from a sale is the price less what you owe, the commission and any tax on the gain. Work that number out before you list. The calculators do the arithmetic. The guides explain the tax and the paperwork behind it.
Your number
Start with what lands in your account, not the sale price.
Tax on the sale
Whether tax applies depends on how you used the property and how long you held it.
Paperwork a buyer asks for
Have these ready before you list.
When an offer arrives
A subject-free offer changes what you can rely on.
