Your net sheet: listing vs. a cash sale
What you keep
In these numbers, listing puts about $26,971 more in your pocket, about 9.5 months later, if the sale goes as planned.If you can wait and your land is easy to sell, list it. Waiting pays you about $2,839 for each extra month.
| Item | A. List with an agent | B. Cash sale |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price | $76,000 | $42,000 |
| Agent commission | −$4,560 | $0 |
| Deed stamps ($0.75 per $500) | −$114 | $0 (buyer pays) |
| Title, closing and recording | −$1,500 | $0 (buyer pays) |
| Taxes and upkeep until you are paid | −$990 | −$135 |
| Back taxes, liens or mortgage paid at closing | $0 | $0 |
| What you keep | $68,836 | $41,865 |
| When you get paid | About month 11, if the sale holds | About month 1.5 |
Break-even: with these costs and timing, listing beats this cash offer only if the land sells for more than about $47,300.
Our honest take
If listing nets you more and you can wait, list. We are a cash buyer, and a cash offer is usually a real discount from full retail value. That discount pays for speed, a set closing date, no showings, no commission, no closing costs and buying the land as-is. It is worth it to some owners and not to others. Only you can decide what being done next month is worth.
What can change the answer: the land sells below the price you entered, sits longer than you planned, or a buyer’s loan or survey falls through and you start over. Unpaid taxes also keep adding interest while you wait.

Get My Cash OfferHow the calculator does the math
Listing: sale price − commission − closing costs − deed stamps − (months until paid × monthly taxes and upkeep) − anything owed. Cash: offer − (months until paid × monthly taxes and upkeep) − anything owed, when the buyer pays the closing costs.
- Deed stamps: Oklahoma’s documentary stamp tax is $0.75 for each $500 of the price or any part of $500, on deeds where the price is over $100 (68 O.S. § 3201). That is $1.50 per $1,000. The calculator rounds up to the next $500, the way the statute reads.
- Recording fees: the same in every Oklahoma county, because state law sets them as flat fees: $8 for the first page of a deed, $2 for each added page and a $10 records preservation fee on each document, so $18 for a one-page deed (28 O.S. § 32). A deed that is nonconforming under 19 O.S. § 298 costs more: $25 for the first page and $10 for each added page. Recording is part of the closing-cost line, so if you have a title company’s quote, enter its full number.
- Holding costs: you keep paying property tax, insurance and upkeep until the day you sell. The longer the sale takes, the more it costs.
- Not included: income tax on your gain, the split of this year’s property tax at closing, price cuts, survey costs and interest on back taxes. Ask a CPA about taxes before you sell.
Then ask yourself one question: how much is it worth to you to be done next month, as-is, with no showings? More on the trade-offs: what it costs to sell land in Oklahoma and realtor vs. selling yourself vs. a cash buyer.
Net sheet questions
What is a seller net sheet?
A seller net sheet estimates what you actually keep from a sale after everything comes out: commission, closing costs, Oklahoma deed stamps, what you spend to keep the land while it is for sale, and anything owed on the land. It is the fair way to compare a listing price with a cash offer, because the bigger price is not always the bigger check.
How much are deed stamps when you sell land in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma’s documentary stamp tax is $0.75 for each $500 of the sale price, or any part of $500, which works out to $1.50 per $1,000 (68 O.S. § 3201). On a $76,000 sale that is $114. Oklahoma’s standard real estate contract forms list deed stamps as a seller cost, but it is negotiable. When you sell to Twin Sun Land Co., we pay them.
Who pays closing costs when you sell land for cash?
It depends on the buyer, so ask and get it in writing. When you sell to Twin Sun Land Co., we pay all the closing costs: title work, the closing fee, mobile or online notary, recording fees and the deed stamps. There is no commission. If another buyer asks you to pay closing costs, uncheck the box in the calculator to see the difference.
Are back taxes and liens paid either way?
Yes. Back taxes, a mortgage or a lien on the land are paid from the sale at closing whether you list or sell for cash, so they lower both columns by the same amount. You do not need cash up front to pay them. Unpaid taxes keep adding interest while the land is for sale, so a longer sale can cost more than this calculator shows.
How accurate is this net sheet calculator?
It is an estimate for planning, not a quote, an appraisal or tax advice. The example numbers are made up to show the math. Title costs vary by county and title company, commissions are negotiable, and land can sell above or below what you expect. It does not include income tax on your gain or the split of this year’s property tax at closing. Ask a local agent, a title company and a CPA for your real numbers.
