The decision-making process is relatively simple if you consider what items you are willing to part. Also, consider how often you use movable items and the cost of replacement. You can offer many other kinds of incentives. A buyer may request an incentive in the transaction. It’s all part of the negotiation. The more buyers you appeal to in terms of pricing, the greater your chances of selling faster. Be flexible, consider paying for a professional house cleaning prior to possession or perhaps pay to have locks changed by professional locksmith.
Buyer requests or seller incentives may include:
• Reduction of the asking price • Offering to close in a short time • Offering or transferring a home warranty • assuming an attractive mortgage • Prepaid condo fees for a year
The list is extensive if you get creative, so discuss each of these with your listing agent before agreeing with a buyer.
