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 have children or are pregnant and a landlord refuses to rent to you, requires a higher security deposit, limits the use of facilities, or says you can only live in certain areas of a housing complex... that could be discrimination. And housing discrimination because of familial status is against the law.

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