How much will I net selling my Doral home?
Start with the sale price and subtract your mortgage payoff, the commission you negotiate, Miami-Dade deed doc stamps of $0.60 per $100, a property tax credit to the buyer, and your title search, lien search, and estoppel costs. At Doral's median single-family price of $1,055,000, doc stamps are $6,330 and a typical October tax credit is about $10,146.

Who Pays What When You Sell in Miami-Dade?

Most Doral sales use the Florida Realtors and Florida Bar (FR/BAR) contract, which has a Miami-Dade and Broward option for title costs. Here is who pays each item:

Cost Who pays under the FR/BAR contract (Miami-Dade option) Amount
Documentary stamp tax and surtax on the deed Seller $0.60 per $100 for a single-family home or condo; $1.05 per $100 for other property
Owner's title insurance policy Buyer (Miami-Dade and Broward regional option) State-promulgated rate
Title search or continuation Seller Actual cost, capped at $200 if the contract leaves it blank
Tax search and municipal lien search Seller Ask your closing agent
HOA or condo estoppel certificate Seller DBPR cap of $299 to prepare, plus $119 if expedited
Recording the deed Buyer Clerk's fee schedule
Seller's attorney and closing services Seller Quote from your attorney or closing agent
Property taxes, HOA dues, CDD Prorated through the day before closing Based on the current or prior-year bill
Commission As negotiated in your listing agreement and the offer Negotiable
FIRPTA withholding (foreign sellers) Withheld from the seller's proceeds Generally 15% of the price, with exceptions

Sources: FR/BAR Residential Contract (Paragraph 9 and Standard K), Florida Department of Revenue, Florida DBPR, and the IRS. Every item can be negotiated in the contract.

What Does a Net Sheet Look Like at Doral Prices?

Here is a simplified net sheet at the median Doral sale prices, before your mortgage payoff, commission, and closing service fees:

Example at Doral median prices Condo Townhouse Single-family
Sale price (median, June to September 2026) $377,500 $657,500 $1,055,000
Deed doc stamps ($0.60 per $100) -$2,265 -$3,945 -$6,330
Property tax credit to buyer, October 31 closing -$3,902 -$6,899 -$10,146
Estoppel certificate (cap) -$299 -$299 -$299
Title search (default cap) -$200 -$200 -$200
Subtotal before payoff, commission, and other fees $370,834 $646,157 $1,038,025

Medians from 188 Doral closings in the Miami-Dade MLS, June 26 to September 24, 2026. Tax credit: median prior-year tax bill, less the 4% maximum discount, times 303 of 365 days. Confirm the doc stamp rate for a townhouse with your closing agent. Your figures will differ.

Elizabeth's Take

A net sheet is the most honest page in a listing appointment. It shows the number that actually reaches your account, before anyone falls in love with a list price. I build one with every seller before we talk about price, so the conversation starts with reality, not hope.



8 Lines on a Doral Seller Net Sheet

Listed in the order they usually appear on a closing statement, largest first.

  1. Your mortgage payoff. Principal plus interest to the payoff date, from your lender's payoff letter. Request it early.
  2. The commission you negotiate. Set in your listing agreement and the offer. Since 2024, buyers sign their own written agreement with their agent; see my buyer agent agreement guide.
  3. Deed doc stamps. $0.60 per $100 in Miami-Dade for a single-family home or condo, per the Florida Department of Revenue.
  4. Property tax credit. Taxes are prorated through the day before closing, with allowance for the maximum discount and exemptions, under Standard K of the FR/BAR contract. The Miami-Dade Tax Collector bills in late fall.
  5. Association costs. The estoppel certificate, any unpaid dues or assessments, and any transfer or capital contribution fees in your association documents. DBPR caps the estoppel fee; see the fee schedule.
  6. Title and lien searches. Under the Miami-Dade option of the FR/BAR contract, the seller pays the title search, tax search, and municipal lien search, and the buyer pays the owner's policy.
  7. Your own closing services. Your attorney, if you hire one, and your share of closing services.
  8. Concessions and repairs. Any credits you agree to after the inspection.

How to Estimate Your Net Proceeds: Step by Step

  1. Get a pricing analysis. Request a valuation based on recent sales in your community.
  2. Request a payoff estimate. Ask your mortgage servicer for a payoff letter.
  3. Multiply the price by 0.006. That is your Miami-Dade deed doc stamps for a single-family home or condo.
  4. Estimate your tax credit. Your last tax bill, less the 4% discount, times the days you own the home this year, divided by 365.
  5. Ask your association. Request the estoppel fee and any transfer or capital contribution fees.
  6. Add commission and concessions. Use the terms you negotiate.
  7. Subtract everything from the price. That is your estimated net. Confirm it with your closing agent before closing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my net proceeds when selling in Doral?

Take the sale price and subtract your mortgage payoff, the commission you negotiate, Miami-Dade deed doc stamps ($0.60 per $100 for a single-family home or condo), the property tax credit to the buyer, and your title search, lien search, estoppel, and closing service costs.

How much are doc stamps on a house sale in Miami-Dade?

$0.60 per $100 of the price for a single-family residence, including condo units, and $1.05 per $100 for other property, per the Florida Department of Revenue. The rest of Florida pays $0.70 per $100.

Who pays for owner's title insurance in Miami-Dade?

Under the Miami-Dade and Broward regional option of the FR/BAR contract, the buyer designates the closing agent and pays for the owner's policy. The seller pays the title search, tax search, and municipal lien search.

How are property taxes prorated when I sell in Florida?

Under the FR/BAR contract, taxes are prorated through the day before closing, based on the current year's tax if available, with allowance for the maximum discount and exemptions. Florida taxes are billed in late fall, so a seller closing before paying usually credits the buyer.

How much is an HOA estoppel certificate in Florida?

Florida DBPR lists a cap of $299 to prepare an estoppel certificate, plus $119 for expedited delivery and up to $179 more if the account is delinquent. The FR/BAR contract assigns the estoppel fee to the seller.

Who pays to record the deed in Florida?

Under the FR/BAR contract, the buyer pays the recording fees for the deed. The seller pays recording fees only for documents needed to cure title.
