Anything goes in today’s Vermont market. Want to sweeten the pot for a potential Bennington home buyer? Think about add-ons:

• Offer to pay for a home warranty package. Usually contracted on a yearly basis, a home warranty covers unexpected repairs or replacements of many home appliances and heating and cooling systems. Adding this to your contract will ease some worries of a potential home buyer.
• Add some bling. Offering a fun item at closing, such as a TV to fit that odd-sized wall, or a set of patio furniture, can accessorize a sale. One home owner in NY recently offered a Porsche as part of the sale!
• Pad the sale. A carpet allowance can allow buyers to see past the wear on the floor to the home’s true potential.
• Include the community. Pay for a local service, such as a summer contract with a lawn care or pool service, as part of the real estate deal. Ask Troy Richardson for information on great Bennington area merchants!
