TV Mounts can be tricky. Typically these remain. Some buyers may expect these to be removed and the walls repaired. This is an item that should be clarified in the sales contract or an addendum signed to avoid any hard feelings at closing. You can offer many other kinds of incentives. A buyer may request an incentive in the transaction. It’s all part of the negotiation.
Buyer requests or seller incentives may include: • Reduction of the asking price • Seller-paid points • Help with the down payment • Help with closing costs • Offering to close in a short time • Offering or transferring a home warranty • Prepaid property taxes for one year • Payment of HOA fees or landscaping and pool maintenance • Offering a mortgage buy-down
The list is extensive if you get creative, so discuss each of these with your listing agent before agreeing with a buyer. NOTE: There may be restrictions placed on the real estate agent because of agency laws. There are also lender limits on buyer credits — and they MUST be properly disclosed — so be sure to stay within the limit of the laws.
