Seller wants higher price but gives closing cost

Emily, are you doing FHA? Maybe having them pay closing is a good thing in the long run, you know, JIC the SHTF and we do double dip or triple dip or any leg down, you are miniminally invested.

I have no concrete proof of anything. Once upon a time I was told Asset managers, (and even negotiators for short sales) somehow get rated for performance partly based on closing prices.

I don’t know if there is a grain of truth to that at all. I don’t know if it is only the closing price or it is the net of the proceeds.

Anyways one would have to talk to the agent to get the real story. JP you can sniff that stuff out, call the LA and act like an interested buyer and see what they say.

What was the listing price? I agree with Carenter, FHA works as leverage against many buyers. Not saying it applies in this instance, but it does when the seller can say O.K. mr. weak buyer/renter. I’ll give you closing costs in exchange for top dollar. Appraisers almost always hit the numbers even if the offer is listing plus closing cost. This is how it used to work anyway. Maybe it’s different now.
