Whether you are listing your Lakeland Fl home in a buyer’s market, seller’s market or
balanced real estate market, you may want to consider giving your buyers incentives to
motivate them to make an offer on your home.

Most Lakeland Fl agents say that the best incentive that can sell your house quickly is a
home that is in good condition and is priced just right.

If you find that you don’t have enough money or time to make improvements on your
Lakeland Fl home for sale, then you can try to sell it “as is” – but don’t don’t expect to
get the best price for it. You will have to set a price below what comparable homes in
your area are selling for when you sell a home “as is” or without improvements.”
You can also attract more offers by offering buyers financial incentives such as assistance
with closing costs and home warranty. The amount you can offer depends on the
guidelines of your buyer’s particular loan program.

who might be interested in your Lakeland Fl home for sale. Are your buyers empty
nesters, young professionals, or a young family? Is your home a luxury home, a
waterfront home, or a starter home? Your incentives should be in line with your buyers’
interests and the type of home you have.

If you are living in a community with a homeowner’s association, consider paying for one
year worth of HOA fees. This would be very attractive to first time homebuyers who are
mostly concerned about the additional costs of buying a home.
If you live in a community with a country club, you can offer to pay for one year’s
membership in the club for your buyer or maybe pay the initial fees.
If you are selling a vacation home, consider offering a gift card for new furniture or buy
new kitchen supplies and linens for the new homeowner.

Is the market really competitive and selling a home is tough, some sellers even offer to
include their high end car with the purchase price of the home.
Make sure to discuss the pros and cons of these incentives with your Lakeland Fl agent.
When you think of incentives, they should boost and not reduce your profits from the
sale of your home.
