While we can not offer incentives here in Missouri, do our Members feel as though Buyer Incentives such as “Cash Back at close” makes a difference in rather a Buyer buys from you?

Thanks,

If I may say so... yes, buyers unfortunately look for the best "deal" or incentive, especially when uncertainty lingers in the market. Incentive definitely increases buyer interest in California. I do however believe that incentives can be anything --from extra inspections to paying closing costs to cash backs. I feel incentives should be offered prior to reducing a list price --there's just something that a reduced price says to buyers that can't be overlooked.

But as always, each case needs to be evaluated individually. I suppose it's the same in any field... the buyer or consumer wants the best deal out there, or at least feel they've received something for nothing. Sometimes I don't understand it, but the minute it's me doing the buying, I look for quality and the best deal... playing the very card we often feel frustration with *smile* It's a good thing challenge is an incentive to a Realtor

If MO would allow buyers incentives I think they would be next to a necessity

to have. I don't see how having incentives could do anything for your

buisness but help. With all the competition in real estate you need

something that grabs a hold of people and basically drags them through the

office doors.

Hi AngelinCA,

What type of Buyer Incentives do you feel work best in your market?

BTW – Did you vote in the Poll?

Thanks,
