Seller’s Net Sheet Basic Instructions

---

Getting Started

1. Follow the Installation Instructions to download the demo version of the Seller’s Net Sheet.

2. Double-Click the “Seller’s Net Sheet” Icon on your desktop.

Sale Price

In the old MLS system, Net Sheets had to be printed one at a time. This application will create all the Net Sheets in one step. As an example, let’s assume the subject property should list for $115K and we want to create a range of Net Sheets from $100K to $120K on $5K increments (So we’ll have 5 sheets: $100K, $105K, $110K, $115K and $120K)

3. Enter a Starting Price of $100,000 (you do not have to include $ signs or commas).

4. Enter an Ending Price of $120,000

5. Enter a Price Increment of $5,000

6. Optional: Select $115,000 in the Suggested Price combo box.

Selecting a Suggested Price will add an additional icon next to the selected dollar amount.

Tip: To get just one Net Sheet, set both the Starting Price and Ending Price to the same value.

Tax Data

7. Optional: Enter an estimated Closing Date. This date will be used to calculate the prorated tax amount.

8. Optional: Enter a half-year tax value.

Tip: Clicking on the down arrow on the right side of a date field will pop up a calendar tool.

Tip: Clicking on the down arrow on the right side of a number field will pop up a calculator tool.

9. Select a County. This county selection will be used to calculate Transfer tax values as well as Escrow Fees.

Commission Rate

10. Choose one of the three tab selections

a. Typical: Standard graduated and straight commission rates (IE 7-5%, 6-5%, 6-4%, etc.)

b. Flat: Single dollar amount that does not vary based on sale price.

c. Percent: Custom graduated or straight commission rate (IE 3 ½% on the first 100K, 2 ½% on the remainder).

Tip: The percent tab can be used to calculate the buyer’s agent commission if that is the only value known.

Financing Type

11. Check all of the financing types you would like to generate. In our example, there will be 5 Net Sheets per financing type so if we chose all 3, we will have a total of 15 Net Sheets.

Note: Some fields will vary based upon the financing type. Some items like Escrow Fee, for example, will double with VA financing. Title agencies recommend $200 in miscellaneous charges for Conventional/Cash, $300 for FHA and $400 for VA. If you select more than one financing type, the Miscellaneous field will use these values.

Seller’s Contribution

12. Optional: Select either Percentage (points) or a Flat Rate for a single dollar amount.

13. Optional: Enter a percent value or a dollar amount.

Misc. Adjustments

14. Enter a home warranty dollar amount (or $0 if the seller is not providing a home warranty). Default is $365

15. Enter the dollar amount to be withheld for Water/Sewer (or $0 is the property has a well). Please make sure to increase this hold back for multi-family properties. Default is $200

16. Enter a processing fee. Default is $125

17. Enter Miscellaneous expenses

Note: This field will not be enabled if more than one financing type has been selected.

18. Enter the name of any additional expenses or credits that may exist.

19. Enter the dollar amount of the expense or credit.

Note: Press the “-“ (minus sign) to make the value a credit. Red text is a credit and black is an expense.

Mortgage Info

20. Optional: Enter a dollar amount for the First Mortgage.

21. Optional: Enter a dollar amount for the Second Mortgage.

Title Insurance

22. Select Seller’s Fee Policy of Title Insurance or Title Guarantee.

a. Seller’s Fee Policy of Title Insurance is used by all of the large real estate companies.

b. Title Guarantee is more expensive for the seller and provides less protection. Few companies still use this type of insurance.
