Negotiating Seller Paid Closing Costs - It's All About The Net!

Visit my website at tommcchesney.com or call me at 913-908-2453. You can also email me at tom@tomsellskc.com.

You may think of winter as a surprising time to sell your home but consider this: those that are needing to move (either for work, space, or a myriad of other reasons) would probably like to be in their new home early in the year.  Everyone wants that fresh start around January 1st.  In light of those motivated buyers, it may be a good time to review your financial position if you decide to sell your home.  Most importantly, consider the out-of-pocket costs versus your return on investment.  As a seller, be prepared to pay closing costs and be excited that offering to pay those costs for your buyer will often bring you more money for your home in the end (it's all about the NET!).

You may be saying, I've got my own closing costs to pay, why would I pay theirs?  The answer is clear; so they can buy your house!  Buyers not only pay closing costs, but usually need cash for their down payment, title insurance, home owner's insurance, appraisals, loan origination fees, filing fees, etc. They must also be prepared to pay for any unexpected repairs revealed during the inspections process. If the buyer asks you to pay closing costs, here's the good news: if you decide to counter on the original offer, you have the option to counter on the sale price of the home.  If it's all about the net, adjust the price of your home to ensure your net number meets your bottom line.

This should not scare buyers off.  Often, a change in the price of the home will only change a buyer's monthly payment by a manageable amount.  In the end, that leaves more cash in the buyer's pocket to purchase the things needed for their new home like appliances and furniture, or to complete any desired initial cosmetics, like paint.

For everyone involved, this is a win-win solution.  It is in everyone's best interest to walk away from the table with the things they need, and in this case as a seller, you've met your bottom line and you're ready for new adventures. As for the buyer, they've just purchased their dream home and are ready to make it their own.



“Thank You Santa Claus… Bugs Bunny… Wyatt Earp… For Registering On My Website!”

Visit my website at tommcchesney.com or call me at 913-908-2453. You can also email me at tom@tomsellskc.com. 

Ok we’ve all done it.  We want information a website has to offer but we don’t want to provide our contact information because we don’t want our email filling up with spam or we don’t want phone calls offering products or services we don’t want or need.  So we register with phony information!
I have a real estate website that offers free access to homes listed for sale and this draws many people onto my website.  While users are given a free look at a list of houses for sale, at some point on the site they will be asked to register before they can access unlimited information on homes for sale.
  
At this point, I’m sure there’s a bit of disappointment and irritation.  I understand! I know you’re just looking and you want to remain anonymous and you’re not at the point of “doing anything” just yet.  You don’t want boatloads of junk mail to sort through and you don’t want interruptive phone calls.
I get it!  I respect those feelings as I too, am an online shopper who just wants to pull information from the internet without being subjected to spam or robo-calls!

Here’s what happens if you register on my website.
  1. You will get an email thanking you and welcoming you to my site. You’ll know your registration and any alerts, saved properties, or saved searches have been successfully entered into the system.
  2.  I will review the criteria or alerts you have setup to make sure the system does not inundate you with useless information, or worse – fail to send you any alerts at all because your criteria have no matches in the chosen area – ever! 
If I discover one of these instances pertains to you then I will email or call you to suggest further refinements. If you allow me the opportunity to help you make these refinements you will reap the benefits of using the system efficiently and effectively!

More people than ever before start the search for their next home online before contacting a real estate professional. That’s why the internet is full of websites offering free search tools and information.  Are all these websites equal?  No!  A Realtor© in tune with today’s market knows that with the easy access granted by various internet sites we must provide value beyond our competitors.

Please read on and let me tell you why using my website in your search for a home will save you time and spare you unnecessary aggravation. 
  1.  Any information you provide is secure and will remain strictly confidential.  I do not sell or share your information.
  2. I can provide you with help and information that other search sites cannot. I’ve already outlined how I can help your search be productive by refining your criteria appropriately for the market. In addition to this, I can point you to other resources on my website also secure, confidential, and free to use. Mortgage calculators, down payment or mortgage assistance, reputable and local service companies- inspectorslenders; recommendations from past clients, an analysis of the value of your home should you also have a home to sell, local school information, an outline of my work experience and background, quarterly and monthly Kansas City real estate market reports, and access to my free mobile app
  3. Homes listed for sale on my website are linked to the local Multiple Listing Service which has rules governing homes shown.  These rules stipulate that homes sold or under contract are flagged appropriately so that homes shown as available are actually available.  Agents are motivated to follow these rules or face financial penalties.  How many times have you found a listing on Zillow or other internet sites only to find that the home was sold months ago?!
  4. My website has search parameters that enable you to search by city, zip code, or subdivision. Few of the well-known search sites can search by neighborhood and some pull everything within a 25 mile radius of the city or zip code you enter! If you want to localize your search better than that, you’ll find my site can do it!  
  5. There are NO ADVERTISEMENTS on my website!
I offer assistance – as much or as little as you like – to help you refine your search and find the home of your dreams.  We can work together to establish a good, workable set of criteria for your search. You will receive fewer emails and those you do receive will be homes that are much closer to what you are looking for.  Not everyone knows what they can afford. If you are not sure what you should be looking for I can ask the important questions and guide you in the right direction based on the information you provide.

In all honesty, I will touch base with you via email or a phone call but I promise you will not be pressured.  You can tell me honestly if I’m giving you too much or too little information.  You can unsubscribe at any time with no hassle.  You can even continue to remain anonymous on my website and use whatever resources you wish.

I just ask that when you are ready to enlist the services of a real estate professional, that you let me interview for the job!
