Estimate only, for planning. Commission and closing costs vary by agreement and property; PA transfer tax is typically split between buyer and seller (commonly 2% total, 1% each) and varies by municipality. This is not an appraisal, offer, or guarantee of sale price. For your home's real value and a precise net-proceeds sheet, request a free valuation from the We Sell Any Home Team.
Why net proceeds beat a cash offer
Cash "we buy houses" investors advertise convenience, but they profit by paying well under market and reselling. Selling with a listing agent exposes your home to the full buyer pool, which drives competing offers and a higher sale price. Even after commission and closing costs, sellers who list on the open market typically net more than a lowball cash offer. The calculator above lets you compare: drop in a cash-offer number as the sale price with 0% commission and see the difference against a market sale.
Ways to increase your net
- Price and market it right. The sale price is the biggest lever, see the current Pittsburgh market report.
- Prep that pays. Targeted repairs and staging often return more than they cost.
- Work with a full-service listing team. The complete Pittsburgh real estate guide covers the process end to end.
Frequently asked

Usually not for your wallet. Cash investors pay below market to resell for profit. Listing on the open market drives competing offers and a higher price, and sellers typically net more even after commission.
Typical seller costs are the real-estate commission, closing costs, roughly half of the ~2% PA transfer tax, and any agreed repairs or concessions. Exact figures depend on your agreement and municipality.
