Did you know sellers can actually help buyers with their closing costs? 👀

💰 For Buyers → Closing cost credits reduce the amount of cash you need at the closing table.
🏡 For Sellers → Offering credits can attract more buyers and sometimes works better than lowering your list price.

👉 Credits must be agreed on in the contract, can’t exceed actual costs, and vary by loan type.

🏡 Real Estate Tip of the Day: Fixtures vs. Personal Property!

Ever wondered what actually stays with a home when it sells? Fixtures (like built-in stoves, blinds, or TV wall mounts) are usually included, while personal property (like furniture or décor) typically goes with the seller unless specified in the sale agreement.

Understanding the difference can save you a big headache during the buying or selling process!
