🏡 BUYERS — before you automatically ask for $10,000 off the price, let’s talk strategy.
In today’s market, there are several ways to negotiate with a seller that can potentially save you money — and sometimes, $10,000 in seller concessions can be more valuable to you than $10,000 off the purchase price.
Depending on your situation, that $10,000 could potentially be used toward:
✨ A 3-2-1 buydown
✨ A 2-1 buydown
✨ A 1-year buydown
✨ Closing costs or other allowable expenses
✨ Or a combination of strategies
And here’s another option many buyers don’t realize is available…
We work with several trusted lenders who offer a ONE-TIME refinance at no cost if rates improve and you qualify.
That means instead of focusing solely on “How much can I get off the price?”, we can look at the bigger picture:
What structure puts YOU in the best position?
The right negotiation isn’t always about getting the biggest price reduction. It’s about understanding your options and choosing the strategy that makes the most sense for your budget, goals and timeline.
