Faced with two mortgage payments for over 12 months, Mike, a homeowner in Central Florida took my advice and offered an aggressive seller concession this past summer on an investment property he had been trying to sell since it's completion in 2005.
Mike agreed to offer buyers 3% of the purchase price towards their down payment and 3% towards their closings costs as a seller paid concession as part of the sales price, the house sold soon after.
I told Mike about the Rally in Downtown Orlando for Down Payment Assistance and he said that he still can't believe that the opportunity for home buyers and sellers to use this program was ever taken off the table...
Mike said - "Down Payment Assistance Programs are a Win-Win for the buyer and the seller and I don't think I could have sold my home without the offer to contribute towards the buyers down payment and closing costs."
It's that simple...
Down Payment Assistance Makes Buying and Selling Homes Possible!
If you want to tell Florida Senator Bill Nelson that Down Payment Assistance Matters To You and Home Owners and Buyers in Florida please let your voice be heard at The Rally for Down Payment Assistance on December 17th @ 12 noon in downtown Orlando...
Please visit this previous post for details...
Has Down Payment Assistance Helped A Buyer or Seller that you have worked with? I would love to know...
