Closing costs on a home sale run 1% to 3% of your sale price for title, escrow, notary, and transfer tax alone, separate from your agent's 5% to 6% commission. On a $350,000 Florida sale, that is $3,500 to $10,500 before commission is even counted. Cash Flow Deals is one option that folds several of those line items into one locked number.
| [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 separate title, transfer, or commission lines to track | 1-3% title/escrow/transfer tax plus 5-6% commission, tracked separately |
| Certainty | One locked number at signing | Total depends on which categories a given calculator included |
The Line Item Most Calculators Blur Into One Number
So why do two closing cost calculators ever show different totals for the same sale? Because closing costs is not one line item, it is several, and calculators bundle them differently. Title, escrow, notary fees, and transfer tax together run 1% to 3% of your sale price. Seller concessions, what you agree to cover for the buyer, typically run 0% to 2% on top. Agent commission, usually quoted separately at 5% to 6%, is sometimes folded into the same closing-costs total and sometimes not.
Ask which categories a calculator is actually adding before you trust its bottom line. A tool showing 1% to 3% is pricing title and transfer costs alone. A tool showing 6% to 10% has folded in commission too.
Title, escrow, notary, and transfer tax: 1% to 3%. Seller concessions: 0% to 2%. Those are two separate lines, not one.
Florida's Fixed Line Item Inside That 1% to 3%
One piece of that 1% to 3% line is not an estimate in Florida, it is set by statute. The documentary stamp tax on your deed is $0.70 per $100 of sale price in every county except Miami-Dade, under Florida Statute 201.02(1)(a). Miami-Dade uses a $0.60-per-$100 base rate under Florida Statute 201.031, with no surtax on a single-family transfer. On a $350,000 sale outside Miami-Dade, that is $2,450, fixed, regardless of which calculator you used to estimate the rest.
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 stamp tax like a toll booth on the way to closing: the same charge for every seller in that county, due no matter which route you took to get there.
Get One Locked Number Instead of Several Line Items
You do not need to add up title fees, transfer tax, and seller concessions separately just to know what closing will actually cost you.
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, shows you exactly which closing-cost categories 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 a closing cost calculator first if it helps you see the range. Just check whether it included commission before you compare it to another one.
Common questions
What does a seller closing cost calculator actually add up?
Usually title, escrow, notary fees, and transfer tax, which run 1% to 3% of sale price, plus seller concessions at 0% to 2%. Agent commission, typically 5% to 6%, is sometimes included in the total and sometimes shown separately, so check which categories the specific calculator counted.
How much is Florida's documentary stamp tax on a home sale?
$0.70 per $100 of sale price statewide under Florida Statute 201.02(1)(a), or $0.60 per $100 in Miami-Dade under Florida Statute 201.031 with no surtax on a single-family transfer. On a $350,000 sale outside Miami-Dade, that is $2,450, fixed by law.
Can I get a closing cost number without running a calculator myself?
Yes. Cash Flow Deals can return a written net-price offer that already accounts for closing-cost categories, 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.
