Smart Negotiation Strategies to Get the Best Deal

Buying a home isn’t just about making an offer—it’s about negotiating the best terms to protect your interests. At Kentucky Wide Realty, we help buyers navigate contingencies, seller concessions, and closing costs to secure a deal that works for them.

• Contingencies for Protection – Contingencies allow buyers to back out under certain conditions. We help structure inspection, financing, and appraisal contingencies to protect your investment while staying competitive.

• Seller Concessions – In some cases, sellers may agree to cover part of your closing costs, make repairs, or include appliances. We identify opportunities to negotiate these benefits on your behalf.

• Closing Costs & Who Pays What – Buyers are typically responsible for closing costs, but in some cases, sellers can help cover them. We help determine when it’s appropriate to negotiate for seller-paid costs and how to structure the request effectively.

• Balancing Price & Terms – The best offer isn’t always the highest price. We help negotiate favorable terms, flexible closing dates, and other perks that work in your favor.

At Kentucky Wide Realty, we ensure buyers have a strong negotiation strategy, helping them get the best value and protections in their home purchase.
