Nobody likes financial surprises during an already stressful time. This page breaks down the most common costs Nashville sellers run into—commissions, taxes, title/closing fees, repairs, and credits—so you can budget with clarity.
Most sellers should plan for: commissions (negotiated), Tennessee transfer tax, title/closing fees, prorations, and then “maybe costs” like repairs, a home warranty, or a buyer credit—depending on the home and the market.
If you want a realistic estimate, the fastest path is a net sheet based on your specific mortgage payoff, price range, and current buyer expectations. You can request one here: contact us.
Many sellers are used to hearing “6% total commission,” but commissions are negotiable and the exact structure varies deal to deal. Our listing fee is 2%—full service, hands-on representation—so you keep more of your equity.
We own our brokerage, which gives sellers pricing flexibility many agents can’t offer—without cutting corners on marketing or communication.
These are common line items you’ll see on a seller net sheet. Exact amounts vary by price point, property type, title company, and negotiated terms.
Note: exact recording fees depend on the documents recorded and how many pages they are.
Quick example
If you close on June 12, your lender will typically collect interest through June 12 at closing (even if you made a June 1 payment). A payoff statement from your lender will show the exact numbers.
We help negotiate what’s reasonable vs. excessive.

Most marketing tools are included in our 2% listing fee. When an add-on truly helps (and only then), we’ll explain the cost and the “why” before spending a dollar.
