TIPS FOR NEGOTIATING AND USING CREDITS EFFECTIVELY
CONDUCT THOROUGH INSPECTIONS:
Both buyers and sellers should conduct thorough inspections to identify potential issues early on. This will help determine which credits are necessary and set realistic expectations.
RESEARCH LOCAL MARKET TRENDS:
Understanding local market trends will help both parties gauge the appropriateness of offering or requesting credits, ensuring they align with prevailing practices.
SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE:
It’s essential to seek guidance from experienced real estate agents or legal professionals to ensure the proper documentation and negotiation of credits.
BALANCE YOUR INTERESTS:
Negotiate credits that strike a fair balance between the interests of both parties, making the deal beneficial for everyone involved.
BE REALISTIC:
Set realistic expectations when negotiating credits, considering the property’s condition, local market conditions, and the financial capabilities of both parties.
Remember, credits can be a valuable tool in real estate transactions, but they should be used judiciously and thoughtfully to ensure a successful and mutually beneficial deal.

If you believe you may be a victim of housing discrimination, contact HUD or your local Fair Housing Center:
