📈 Market Move:

Close With Concessions

You’ve been using seller concessions to sweeten the deal for a while now—and guess what? NAR just dropped a guide explaining the play to sellers. The gist? Concessions can help get better offers faster by making homes more appealing and cutting upfront costs for buyers.

It’s a great tool, but the key is staying sharp. Make sure you're clear with your sellers on how concessions can cover things like agent fees, but keep them distinct from compensation offers. Oh, and remember—there are limits to how much you can offer, depending on state laws and lenders. Keep an eye on how you advertise them in the MLS too—some restrictions could catch you off guard. It’s all about using this strategy smartly without overplaying your hand.
