More and more sellers are still trying to get the buyers attention and are offering all types of incentives. They are offering everything from closing-cost assistance to remodeling credits . They are even offering hot tubs, home theater systems, flat-screen TVs, and cars, and more. Boy wouldn't I love to be a buyer in today's market. How about you?
The incentives don’t actually put the deal together, but it makes the deal more enticing. Can you believe a seller who offered his 1970s Cadillac El Dorado in a real estate deal just to get the deal done. They will do what they have to in order to get the buyers and the agents to come view their home.
A seller may be convinced that the extra incentives bring the bueyrs into their home for a showing, and wonder, is it worth it?
Some of the top incentives are;
- Sellers are offering gift cards to a home improvement stores or even a local flooring company if the property that is being sold is in need of repair;
- Closing cost contributions; This is a biggie that buyers love;
- Home warranties, which will cover HVAC systems and other major appliances. This is great if it is an older home. This warranty is generally for one year and sometimes longer;
- They will even pay some condo fees, which is a big plus for the buyers pocket book; Sometimes they will pay, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months or more;
- One of the biggest incentives is; offering the buyers agent a bonus on top of what their fee is, plus the bonus; Sometimes they will offer up to $3,000.00; This entices the agent to show their buyers this particular property.
