What will you actually walk away with?
Most Maryland sellers have no idea. They find out at the closing table. The decisions that determined that number were made before they ever listed.

Three questions is all it takes. You'll see an estimate of what your home could sell for, what it costs to sell it, and what you actually keep, across all four ways to sell.
Estimates based on National Association of REALTORS® and industry data on sale price, concessions, and pre-listing repair costs. Your actual numbers could vary.
The numbers above aren't arbitrary. Three come from published data on what Maryland sellers walk away with. The fourth is ours. What it looks like on your home is a conversation worth having.
On a $450K Maryland home with a $200K mortgage balance, here is what a seller keeps after repair costs, closing costs, taxes, concessions and the mortgage payoff. The difference between the best and worst scenario could be as much as $74,166.
Driven by a strategy built around your specific home, your market, and your timeline. Every decision from day one is designed to put more money in your pocket at closing.
Three things move your number more than the commission does: what the home sells for, what you spend getting it ready, and what you hand back at closing. We work all three.

A traditional agent protects your interests, manages the process, and negotiates on your behalf. What varies is the pricing strategy, the preparation, and the negotiation.
Two agents can charge exactly the same and hand you very different numbers at closing. The fee is the part that is easy to compare. It is not the part that decides what you keep.

A limited-service listing gets your home onto the MLS and in front of buyers. Pricing calls, preparation, and negotiating the offer and the inspection are often left to you. You save on the listing fee. The decisions that move your number more than the fee does are still yours to make alone.

Without an agent, the buyer holds the leverage on price, on concessions, and in every negotiation that follows.
Buyers assume the commission you are not paying belongs to them, and they price their offer that way. The number you listed at rarely survives the first conversation.

Sourcing: the National Association of REALTORS® 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers reports a median FSBO sale price of $360,000 nationally, against $425,000 for agent-assisted sales. This calculator applies a smaller gap than that data indicates. All figures are estimates. Your actual numbers could vary with your home, your market, and your negotiation.
