A sales calculator estimates your commission and closing costs as percentages. Florida sets one of those costs by a fixed state rate, not an estimate: title insurance. Cash Flow Deals can give you one exact net number instead of a percentage range. Florida's promulgated title insurance rate is $5.75 per $1,000 of coverage on the first $100,000, then $5.00 per $1,000 up to $1 million - on a $400,000 sale, that's $2,075, the same at every title company in the state.
| [Cash Flow Deals](/) | Traditional Listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline | 7-21 days, you pick the closing date | 30-90+ days, tied to a buyer's financing |
| Repairs | None required before closing; net price locked before repairs are scoped | Often required after a buyer's inspection |
| Fees/Costs | Flat fee built into the net price; no commission or title-rate math required | 5-6% commission plus Florida's fixed $5.75/$1,000 title insurance rate, itemized separately |
| Certainty | One written net number | Five separate percentage ranges to estimate yourself |
What a Sales Calculator Actually Estimates
So which of the numbers a sales calculator shows you is an estimate, and which one is fixed? Most tools subtract the same categories: agent commission (typically 5% to 6% of sale price), closing costs (1% to 3%), staging and prep, seller concessions (0% to 2%), and your mortgage payoff. Every one of those is a range, because commission is negotiable, prep costs depend on your choices, and concessions depend on your buyer.
Four of five categories in a sales calculator are ranges you negotiate. Only one is fixed by the state, and most calculators don't call it out separately.
Florida's One Fixed Number: Title Insurance
Title insurance is the one cost on your closing statement that does not vary by company or negotiation in Florida. Under Florida Statute 627.7825 and Florida Administrative Code Rule 69O-186.003, every title insurer in the state has to charge the same promulgated rate: $5.75 per $1,000 of coverage on the first $100,000, then $5.00 per $1,000 up to $1 million, with a $100 minimum premium. On a $400,000 sale, that's $575 for the first $100,000 plus $1,500 on the remaining $300,000 - $2,075 total, identical whether you use the title company down the street or one across the state.
Cash Flow Deals is a Florida real estate investor that locks in a net price for a seller's house before repairs are scoped, using a novation-based, flat-fee process arranged through its licensed FL brokerage partner, Silver Door Realty - not a traditional listing, and not a brokerage itself.
Think of the title insurance rate like a posted toll: the state sets the price, and it is the same for every car that crosses.
Skip the Percentage Ranges, Get One Fixed Number
You shouldn't have to guess where you land inside five different percentage ranges.
Cash Flow Deals Offer Process:
1. Cash Flow Deals reviews your house and returns a written net-price offer, typically within 24 to 48 hours.
2. Its licensed FL brokerage partner, Silver Door Realty, walks you through exactly which categories - commission, title insurance, repairs - were already subtracted.
3. You pick the closing date - as soon as 10 business days out, or later if you need more time.
The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed - foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure - we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens.
Run the calculator first if it helps you see the range. Just know Florida's title insurance line inside it is fixed, not negotiable.
Common questions
What does a sales calculator actually subtract from my home price?
Five categories: agent commission (5% to 6%), closing costs (1% to 3%), staging and prep, seller concessions (0% to 2%), and your mortgage payoff. All five are ranges except one - Florida's title insurance rate is fixed by state law.
How much is title insurance on a Florida home sale?
Florida charges a fixed, promulgated rate under Florida Statute 627.7825: $5.75 per $1,000 of coverage on the first $100,000, then $5.00 per $1,000 up to $1 million. On a $400,000 sale, that's $2,075, the same at every title company in the state.
Can I get an exact number instead of running a calculator myself?
Yes. Cash Flow Deals can return a written net-price offer that already accounts for commission, title insurance, and repairs, typically within 24 to 48 hours.

A value estimate is a starting point, not a guaranteed number. Our process tests your home against the real market -- real buyers, real comps -- before you commit to a price.
Wait and see
Keep the property as-is and hope conditions improve. The mortgage, insurance, and upkeep keep costing money while you wait, with no set date for things to turn around.
List with a traditional agent
Standard MLS listing, typically 5-6% in commission, and a financed buyer whose deal depends on appraisal, inspection, and lender approval — any of which can fall through after weeks on market.
Sell to Cash Flow Deals
