AI Prompt for a Buyer Cash-to-Close Estimate Narrative

Use this when a buyer asks the big practical question, 'how much money do I actually need in the bank?', before they get serious about touring. A good result presents rough numbers in a clean labeled list with a total, then explains each line, down payment, closing costs, prepaids, and a cushion, in a sentence. Framing everything as an estimate keeps expectations grounded and protects you if final figures shift.
