Real Estate Math
A West Virginia property is listed for $165,000. The seller accepts a full-price offer and agrees to pay 6% commission. The seller has a remaining mortgage balance of $98,000. The seller's net proceeds (before other closing costs) are:
A$57,100✓ Correct
B$67,000
C$57,000
D$77,100
Explanation
Commission = $165,000 x 0.06 = $9,900. Net proceeds = $165,000 - $9,900 - $98,000 = $57,100. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $165,000 and $98,000 at 6%.. The correct answer is $57,100.. This is a common calculation on the West Virginia real estate exam.
