Find a Top Real Estate Agent Near You
Is it a bribe?
Home buyer here. Wondering if I can offer an extra incentive with my home offer, like tickets to a football game, a concert, dinner out, etc. Looking for a way to set my offer apart. But I'm wondering if that's seen as a bribe.

Julianne Clark / Your Lowcountry Realtor
Charter One Realty
The real question is what can you offer a Seller that would be something that they want? Most instances its terms and price for the house they are selling. Submitting the cleanest (least contingencies) and best price you are able to offer and also working around their selling timeline can set yours ahead of other offers. Make sure that your agent is communication with the Sellers agent "prior" to making the offer and find out what is "important" to them and cater your offer around that the best you can.
