Rhode Island seller net sheet and closing costs

In Rhode Island, the seller usually pays the agent commission, their own loan payoff, the real estate conveyance tax and the real estate conveyance tax (residential portion above threshold). The buyer usually pays the lender fees, the lender's title policy and the owner's title policy. Each side pays its own settlement or escrow fee.

The buyer usually pays for the owner's title policy in Rhode Island. In Rhode Island, each title insurer files its own rates. So prices differ between title companies. The net sheet uses typical rates. The title company that runs the closing gives the final quote. An attorney usually handles the closing. By custom, an attorney is required.

NetSheet.org is not tied to any title company. The net sheet works with any title or escrow company. See how it compares with title company net sheet tools.

Each side pays the taxes for the days it owns the home. Property taxes in Rhode Island are paid in advance. So the buyer usually pays the seller back for days after closing that the seller already paid. Taxes run about 1.4% of the home's value per year. Most towns bill quarterly (Providence: Jul 24, Oct 24, Jan 24, Apr 24 for the Jul-Jun fiscal year); seller is credited for a paid quarter after closing and owes an unpaid one through closing.
