Purchase contracts sometimes have contingencies.  Buyers have to act on those contingencies to move forward in the process of buying a home.  We talk about the steps you need to take as a buyer, when asking the seller for concessions.  Concessions can be reductions in the purchase price, credits from the seller or asking the seller for repairs or upgrades.  We discuss how to do it, when to do it, and what to give in return to help you achieve success.  As a seller, we dive into why buyers ask for them, and what you can do to prepare for the eventual requests.
