💰 5 Things That Can Save Home Buyers THOUSANDS at Closing (That Most People Don’t Know About)

Everyone knows about negotiating the purchase price, but that’s not always where the biggest savings happen. Here are 5 ways savvy buyers can keep more money in their pockets:

1️⃣ Ask for Seller Concessions
Instead of focusing solely on price, ask the seller to contribute toward your closing costs. In some cases, this can save buyers thousands in cash they would otherwise need at closing.

2️⃣ Shop Around for Homeowners Insurance
Many buyers accept the first quote they receive. Spending 30 minutes comparing policies can sometimes save hundreds per year and lower your monthly payment.

3️⃣ Look Into First-Time Buyer & Down Payment Assistance Programs
Even if you’ve owned a home before, you may still qualify for certain programs depending on how long it’s been since you last owned. Many buyers leave free money on the table simply because they don’t ask.

4️⃣ Negotiate Repairs for Credits Instead
Sometimes it’s better to request a closing cost credit rather than having the seller complete repairs. This gives you more control over the work and can reduce your out-of-pocket expenses at closing.

5️⃣ Review Your Loan Estimate Carefully
Many buyers don’t realize some fees can vary between lenders. Comparing Loan Estimates side-by-side can reveal differences worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.

Buying a home isn’t just about finding the right house; it’s about knowing where you can save money throughout the process.

Sweeping before the photographer arrives might seem small. But it’s not.

It’s the difference between a listing photo with debris on the floor and one that stops a buyer mid-scroll. 🏡✨

The small things ARE the job.

Fluffing pillows. Moving cars out of the driveway. Turning on every light. Replacing a burned-out bulb. Wiping down counters one more time before the camera comes out.

Nobody hired me to sweep. But I do it anyway, because your home deserves to be shown at its absolute best, and that’s a standard I hold myself to whether anyone is watching or not.

That’s what separates an agent who has listings from an agent who is committed to them.

When you hire me, you’re not just getting someone to put a sign in the yard. You’re getting someone who shows up early, sweats the details, and treats your home like it’s the most important sale of the year — because to you, it is.

If you’re thinking about selling and want an agent who actually cares about the small stuff 👇
