What You Receive: Sample Valuation, Pricing Plan & Net Sheet

Before you ask for a valuation or a listing plan, here's what the written work looks like. Every sample below uses a fictional home and invented numbers. They show the format and the reasoning, not a real client's result.

1. Written home-value assessment

Property: 14 Example Crescent, London (a fictional home). Detached two-storey, 3 bedrooms, about 1,600 sq ft, single garage.

Comparable sales I relied on (fictional)

SaleLocationPriceDifferencesAdjustment
Comparable A (fictional)Same street pocket, same modelSold $648,000Similar size; kitchen updated 2019About equal
Comparable B (fictional)Two streets overSold $672,000Finished basement; larger lotSuperior: about −$20,000
Comparable C (fictional)Same pocket, backs onto a busy roadSold $629,000Original kitchen; road noiseInferior: about +$15,000

Value range and reasoning

Likely selling range: $640,000 to $660,000 (fictional). Comparable A is the closest match and anchors the range. B sold higher because of its finished basement; C sold lower because of the road. I'd expect the top of the range only if the home shows as well as A.

What could move it

  • Condition found at the walkthrough (roof, furnace, windows).
  • How many similar homes are listed when you go to market.
  • Anything a buyer's inspection might raise.
What I need from you: the address, any updates and their years, known issues, and a walkthrough (in person or by video) if I haven't seen the home. Timing: I confirm the delivery date with you after we've talked about the property; it depends on whether a walkthrough is needed.

2. Seller pricing and positioning plan

List price$649,900 (fictional): inside the value range, below the next search bracket at $650,000, so the home appears for buyers searching up to $650,000.
Who it's forMove-up families and first-time buyers with family help; the plan lists what each group compares it against.
CompetitionThe homes listed in the same pocket and price band when you go live, and how this one compares on layout, condition and lot.
Before photosA short prep list: paint, lighting, minor repairs, and what's not worth spending on.
LaunchPhotography, listing day, the first weekend, and matching to buyer contacts in my CRM.
Review dateA set date to review showings and feedback together, and what would justify changing the price (and what wouldn't).
What I need from you: your timing, your next move, and the valuation above. Timing: the plan follows the valuation; I confirm when you'll have it.

3. Seller net sheet

What the seller of the fictional home would walk away with. Same calculation as the seller net sheet calculator. The commission line is an invented example amount; your actual commission is whatever your listing agreement says.

Estimated sale price$650,000
Commission (flat amount)−$25,000
HST on commission (13%)−$3,250
Legal fees and disbursements−$1,500
HST on legal fees (13%)−$195
Mortgage balance paid out−$312,000
Mortgage prepayment penalty−$2,400
Mortgage discharge fee−$400
Other selling costs−$1,200
Closing adjustments (credit to you)+$650
Estimated amount to you at closing$304,705
What I need from you: your mortgage payout statement (or balance and penalty estimate from your lender), and your lawyer's fee quote. Your own net sheet is prepared from your figures and the agreed price.
