What’s inside
What you sell for, and what you actually keep.
Sale price is the headline. Net proceeds is the number that matters. This guide walks the full distance between the two.
- Washington’s real estate excise tax (REET), tier by tier, with worked examples
- The full cost stack: commission, title, escrow, prorated property tax, payoff timing
- Pricing to the market you’re actually in, not last year’s comps
- Which pre-list improvements return their cost — and which reliably don’t
- Timing your list date against local demand data instead of guesswork
- A net-proceeds worksheet you can fill in for your own address
