Seller concession
Sellers may offer concessions to incentivize buyers to purchase the home or sweeten the deal.Concessions are most readily seen as a contribution towards the buyer's closing costs, up to certain limitations and approvals by a buyer's lender, which ultimately leaves more money in a buyer's pocket when all is said and done.
Seller disclosure
A seller's disclosure is a disclosure by the seller of information about the property, or which could affect a buyer's decision to purchase the property, all of which to the best of the seller's knowledge.A seller must also indicate items which are not specific to the property itself but related to a person's enjoyment of the property, such as pest problems, property line disputes, knowledge of major construction projects in the area, military base related noises or activities, association-related assessments or legal issues, unusual odors caused by a nearby factory, or even recent deaths on the property as permitted by law.
Subject to inspection
Subject to inspection, or "submit offers subject to inspection", means that the seller is not allowing the property to be viewed without an accepted offer. Some common reasons for this are privacy concerns of the occupants or uncooperative tenants.The thought of buying a property sight unseen can be daunting for the traditional buyer, which can be used to your advantage as this will inevitably drive overall interest down.It's also not as bad as it seems as, under the standard purchase contract, you will have an inspection period, during which you can cancel the sale with no penalty.
