The decision-making process is relatively simple if you consider what items you are willing to part with. 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 financing, the greater your chances of selling faster. Be flexible, consider providing a decorator’s allowance or other irresistible buyer incentives (be creative). If you are working with a realtor then this should be discussed on a one to one basis and will most likely not be necessary! Buyer requests or seller incentives may include: ( not applicable in most instances in Montreal, Quebec real estate market). Speak with your Agent before offering any type of incentive. • Reduction of the asking price • Help with the down payment (certain conditions may apply) • Help with closing costs • Offering to close in a short time • Offering or transferring a home warranty • Prepaid property taxes for one year • Offering a mortgage balance of sale defines a vendor take back mortgage (seek notary advice prior to offering these types of opportunities to a buyer!)
The list is extensive if you get creative, so discuss each of these
