What really matters when you sell your home—the price… or what you actually walk away with?

In this episode, Aaron and Todd break down the real number every seller should focus on: your net profit at closing. Using a $600,000 sale example, they show how different offer terms—like commissions, credits, and repair requests—can significantly impact what ends up in your pocket.

They also cover common costs sellers often overlook, including escrow fees, title charges, termite work, and home warranties.

💡 Key takeaway: The highest offer isn't always the best offer.

Learn why reviewing a net sheet is crucial and how to compare offers the right way—so you can make a smart, confident decision when it matters most.
