Real Estate Tips

First Time Buyers >The Seller May Pay

The costs of buying a home may be daunting. For example, you may have finally saved enough for a down payment on your first home, with a little left over to buy the furniture you will need. Then you hear about having to pay closing costs you weren't anticipating, and this may seem like a real setback.

One way to cover such a shortage is to make the sellers an offer that calls for them to credit you for some of the closing costs. As a rule, the sellers may pay a maximum of 3 percent of the sales price if the buyer is putting five percent down. If the buyer is making a down payment of 10 percent or more, the seller can contribute up to 6 percent of the sales price to cover the buyer's closing costs. Some items, such as prepaid taxes and the first month's mortgage payment, must be paid by the buyers. Sellers may also contribute to paying the appraisal, points, title insurance, settlement attorney fees, state or local transfer taxes and similar items.

Keep in mind that if the credit is included in the price of the house, the appraiser will have to justify the amount, based on sales prices of similar homes in the neighborhood.

I can handle the most complicated transaction. I work FULL-TIME at my profession. You can always reach me easily and can be assured of a quick, helpful response. You'd be hard pressured to find a REALTOR with a more enthusiastic or positive attitude. I love what I do and let it show. Having people trust me with their single largest asset is a responsibility I take very seriously. I will give you 110% because I know that my success is your satisfaction. While past results may not be the only measure of success when it comes to referring your friends and family, can you think of anything more reassuring to go by?
