Net proceeds example Let's say a home is sold for $500,000. The seller's costs to sell that home include a mortgage payoff balance of $300,000, real estate agent fees of $15,000, attorney fees of $1,000 and other sales taxes and closing costs of $4,000. That leaves the seller with net proceeds of $180,000.
The answer is yes, but there are very specific circumstances where this would be possible. For example, for homes that are currently pending or under contract, it might be possible to get the seller's current real estate agent involved in the negotiation process again.
In Massachusetts, buyers and sellers can back out of real estate contracts, but there may be consequences. Buyers have more flexibility, especially during the contingency period, and can often cancel without penalty. Seller contingencies are less common but protect the seller's interests.
