I know sometimes people buying a home ask the seller to pay their closing costs. Why would a homeseller ever agree to do that?

***ANSWER: Great question. Many of my seller-clients have objected LOUDLY when asked to pay a buyer’s closing costs. My advice is it doesn’t matter if a buyer wants you to pay closing costs or even buy them a VW Beetle, so long as you’re happy with the net. There’s little difference between 600K vs. 610K less 10K in costs.
