Buyer + Agent Lens

What concessions actually do.

A credit is not magic. It is structure.

01

Seller concessions are negotiated credits toward eligible buyer costs.

02

A credit can affect affordability more than buyers expect.

03

Agents can use credits to frame a stronger offer conversation.

04

Program rules decide what can actually be used.

05

Concessions matter most when cash and payment are tight.
