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 a decorating allowance on closing or other irresistible buyer incentives.

Buyer requests or seller incentives may include:
• Reduction of the asking price • Seller-paid cash back incentives • Offering to close in a short time • Offering or transferring a home warranty
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 local, provincial, and national laws..
