Four ways to get your closing costs paid
Seller concessions
Many sellers will agree to pay part of your closing costs as part of the deal. I'll tell you how much to ask for and how to write it so your offer still wins.
Builder credits
New-home builders often cover closing costs, especially on quick move-in homes. I track who's offering what every week.
Utah programs
Some Utah programs can be used toward closing costs, not just the down payment. I'll match you with the ones you likely qualify for.
Lender credits
A slightly higher rate can come with a credit toward closing costs. A local lender can show you the trade-off side by side.
Most buyers never ask
Closing costs in Utah often run a few percent of the price. That's thousands of dollars you can keep in your pocket with the right offer, the right builder or the right program. I'll show you which ones fit your situation, and I'll negotiate for them when we write your offer.
Seller concessions, builder credits, program funds and lender credits depend on the seller, builder, loan type and program rules, and are not guaranteed. Each loan type limits how much a seller can pay. Dan VanSweden, REALTOR®, KW Westfield (Excellence), is not a lender. Equal Housing Opportunity.
