Question

Your seller wants to net $100,000 after the 5% commission is paid. Assuming no closing costs, at what price does the home need to sell for the seller to net this amount?

Answer 1

Answer:

The home needs to sell for $105,263.16 for the seller to receive net of $100,000.00

Explanation:

The amount that the home needs to sell can derived from the net to seller's formula given as: Net to seller = Sale Price * (100% - commission rate)

Net to seller=$100000

Sale price is unknown

commission rate is 5%

$100000=sale price*(100%-5%)

$100000=sale price *95%

sale price =$100000/95%

sale price =$105263.16

For the seller to receive $100000 after 5% commission the property must e sold for $105,263.16
