That's not the kind of form I use for CRE. I do a discounted cash flow analysis, if applicable, or another type of financial analysis that enables us to come up with a decent range and net.
For residential, I can pretty much net out a seller in my head.
But, because we don't want that kind of liability I grab an estimated HUD from title. Or at least a breakdown of seller costs.

Title companies usually provide a system that we can use, and I always tell them this is just an estimate.   The form is not for commercial use such as office buildings, warehouse, etc.

I give an estimated for residential, most times in commercial or for investors, they ave their own form or at least numbers that are pretty exact Fred Griffin . With owner occupied sellers, i do go over the different costs and what they mean.

Yes, the title companies I use have apps to prepare an ESTIMATE which I always stress is an estimate and based on what they have told me since we do not have mortgage payoff or any liens they have not disclosed.

Yes I do but I do it at the listing presentation on what they will net. Then we have a sorta price in mind. They usually loose it & I have to do it again after the offer. Attorney's take it from there.

I do not personally create the sellers net.  I do ask my escrow officer to create an estimated net based upon certain assumptions like sales price, the close of escrow, title and escrow fees, taxes, etc.

when I was actively listing property, I would do a very close ballpark net proceed sheet after we negotiated the offer but before they signed it....

At the listing...I always find out  their bottom line, in order to know if they can afford to sell. I give an approximate net on the asking price. When an offer comes in, I give an approximate net for the offer at hand. If they choose to negotiate they get another approximate net on their counter. Like Candice A. Donofrio I can net it out in my head and give an approximate estimate. 

 I only do residential.

     When I started in this business, it was "standard practice" to provide a written Seller's Net Proceeds statement.   

     Today, I don't want the liability.  We can verbally discuss it, but I won't put anything in writing.  

  Residential:   I have a Title Attorney or Title Company provide an estimate.  

  Investors:  their CPA can prepare an estimate.

  Commercial:   I don't sell Commercial.

Well... kinda, sorta... maybe.... I don't typically discuss the net... directly. I do the math, show them the gross, the fees and the net..... if they actually ask me.

Ok, maybe I do.

But I have some clients that just don't care or don't want to know. So I ask...

BUT, I do discuss the strategy and where the offers will be coming in, ballpark, and the difference between a good offer, a lousy offer, and an average offer - the spread. So that we know how and how much to counter, if needed, in advance. It's all planned in the big master plan.  It's all strategy.

Depends. Some sellers who are not familiar with the process value the information. I prepare the estimate form with the costs on the high side. Seller is pleased when actual net to them is more. I tell them to expect that outcome. Woe is me if I were to understate the costs, inflate the estimated net and have the real net be less. Title company always furnishes an estimate just before closing that is more exact. I always carefully review it for accuracy.

Yes, I made my own net sheet using Excel and it auto calculates title, search / exam, doc stamps on the deed, prorates property taxes, and will let me add payoffs, attorney fees, estoppel fee, liens and whatever else I need to add. 

The seller signs it, I sign it and everyone gets a copy.

I do a very "rough and dirty" with my sellers if they ask. The majority already know what the approximate bottom line will be without me. With everyone suing everyone else these days, I hesitate to put too much of things like this in writing.

We have an Estimated Net Proceeds Worksheet in our MLS that I provide my sellers at listing time and again when we are finalizing an offer. I have one initialed and added to the file so that at closing, should they be surprised by any charges, we can review that one.  It's "estimated" but pretty close most of the time.

Fred ~ I do not give them a seller net sheet, but at the beginning of the sales process I email them a excel spreadsheet to help estimate their net proceeds.  They put in their mortgage balance and then when offers come in they can adjust for sales price, seller subsidy, home warranty, etc to see what to expect.  It is really helpful when we are reviewing multiple offers remotely so that understand the impact of as terms get changed from offer to offer.
