Can I make the buyer pay all the closing costs?

Sure, but I would focus on your net proceeds and negotiating the purchase price to meet your goal for net proceeds.

All of this depends on the market and the current situation. It is possible, however, it will depend on what the normal of market that we are facing at the time of listing and going under contract. There are a lot of factors that go into the listing process and it is really based on your personal situation. A great listing agent can personally walk you through the options to net the most money for your home. After all that is their area of expertise and knowledge to NET you the most money possible. I would recommend asking a professional listing agent in your market to review this for your home and market area to give you the best possible outcome.

You definitely need a experienced real estate professional to help you here! They have a fiduciary responsibility to advise you on how to get the highest profit out of the sale of your property. Lean on their advise. Closing costs are always negotiable.

Yes, you can. The first thing I would do is make sure your home is in the best condition you can make it so you can maximize showings=offers, Then you want multiple offers to bring the offer price above the listing price. If the buyer is asking for closing costs those are figured into the final price, so that would make any offer with it weaker. Lastly, you always negotiate to maximize your profit.

Yes, but it depends on market conditions and loan type. In a strong seller’s market this is more common, while buyers often negotiate credits in slower markets.

Absolutely!

You can negotiate with the buyer to pay the closing costs but that depends on the market. If your home is desired by many buyers then yes if you do not have more than one buyer then it would be harder to negotiate that the buyer pays all costs. They can give concessions for pre-paids, tax prorations and closing costs but they cannot pay your down payment.
