Going to auction puts this much more in your pocket
A buyer factors the premium into what they bid, so the hammer price is not the same number the property would fetch with no premium attached. That is exactly why this compares net proceeds, not headline price. The seller keeps 100% of the hammer, and the break-even above is usually far lower than an agent expects.
Harris Auctions is licensed across ten states, so this calculator deliberately applies no local market curve — the expected sale price, commission rate and concession allowance are yours to set from the comparables in front of you, not assumptions imposed by a Nashville or Kentucky dataset. Enter what you honestly believe the property does on the open market and the comparison stays honest. Estimates only.
