Creative home sellers all over the world have managed to create a similar effect by offering buyers incentives to lower the cost of buying a home. This helps improve your chances of selling the home and achieve the price they desire. Below, you’ll find a few tips to help you maximize your chances of selling your home for a good price and motivate sellers:

Take care of their closing costs:
Most of the people buying homes are afraid of spending cash after signing a big mortgage application. They also forget about the closing costs because they focus on getting enough money for a down payment for the same mortgage. If you offer to take care of their closing costs, it’ll motivate them immensely and take some of that surprise factor off their shoulders.

Help them get a lower mortgage rate:
If you’re familiar with mortgage points, they are usually 1% of the total mortgage amount. The more point you buy, the lower your interest rate will be on the total purchase price of the home. So try stimulating them with a few point off their mortgage, each point usually takes off .25% of their interest rate. This will also help buyers feel better about their purchase, they’ll feel more comfortable knowing you helped lower their monthly mortgage payments.

Add freebies:
When it comes to first time home buyers, they don’t usually have furniture or appliances to put in their home. Adding some appliances in the kitchen or laundry room will motivate them by lowering the amount of expenses they have to make when they first move in. You can include them as a value added service, they’ll be happy to have a working home within the first month of moving in.

In case you don’t want to include your stuff in the sale of the house, I suggest you purchase a home warranty for cheap. Insurance companies usually offer home warranties for electrical, appliances, fixtures, and plumbing for example. This will make them feel more comfortable by being reassured of their home being covered in case something breaks or goes wrong. Inspections usually overlook a thing or two when it comes to heating and cooling or plumbing so this will make them much more comfortable.

You can also give them gift certificates, memberships, tickets to games, trips, or other incentives. These might cost money but they help your listing get noticed over the rest.
