re: Let's talk closing costs for home buyers

quote:

I'm a first-time home buyer. I'm going to ask for the seller to pay a portion of closing costs regardless of which home I choose to buy. My reasoning? They can only say no. I'm the guy with the money looking to buy so I feel like I hold some power.. somewhat anyways.

Let's not turn this into a "you shouldn't buy a home unless you have money for closing costs" thread. That's not the case and it's not what I'm getting at.

What are y'alls experiences with this?

Purchased 3 homes and sold 3 homes in a sellers market (Dallas) and buyer has paid 100% of closing costs. This is a somewhat unique market as all have sold over asking with little to no concessions.
