SELLER’S NET SHEET: From Keller Williams Realty International’s Policy and Procedure Manual: 4.9.1.30 Seller's Net Statement. Every seller you make a presentation to, and/or whose property you list, should be given a copy of a Seller's Net Statement. Also, a Seller's Statement should be included with every contract presentation on resale properties. The Seller's Statement should be explained to and initialed by the seller. These Statements could be used to protect us if any problems arise. On the Statement, the word estimate is used many times. The seller needs to be verbally told that figures are just that estimates.
