For illustration purposes only. Estimate based on Orange County customs. Sellers usually pay the owner's title policy and county transfer tax and split escrow with the buyer. Fees vary by company. This is not a settlement statement. Your full sheet adds property tax, Mello-Roos and HOA prorations, buyer credits and your lender's exact payoff.

Selling, buying or both.
Most of our clients are doing both. Here's what each side looks like with us.
Sell
Priced from the comps. We prepare only what pays for itself and update your net every time a decision changes it.
- Your net at three prices
- Offers ranked by what you keep
- Estimate vs. actual at closing
Buy
The full monthly cost of every home before you tour it, and the cash you'll need to close before you write an offer.
- Mello-Roos, HOA and tax on every home
- Cash to close up front
- Offers backed by the comps
Both
Sell one home and buy the next on one plan, so you know where your down payment comes from and when you can move.
- One timeline for both escrows
- Proceeds matched to your next down payment
- Buy-first and sell-first compared
How a sale runs.
Six steps. You see the numbers at each one.
Most people see the numbers at the signing table. We show them first.
A home sale has a few dozen line items. Most sellers see them for the first time at closing, when it's too late to change anything. I spent 20 years in mortgage lending and funded more than 4,000 home loans. I started Clear Realty to put those numbers in front of you while you can still act on them.
