VA seller concessions are one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — benefits available to veterans buying homes in Brevard County. With a VA loan, sellers can pay all buyer closing costs and contribute up to 4% of the purchase price in additional concessions, helping many veterans move into a home with little or even $0 due at closing.


What Closing Costs Does the VA Allow Sellers to Pay

With a VA loan, sellers are permitted to cover:

✔ All Buyer Closing Costs

There is no cap on seller-paid closing costs, which may include:

  • Appraisal fees

  • Title and settlement charges

  • Lender fees

➕ Up to 4% in Seller Concessions

In addition to closing costs, VA loans allow sellers to pay up to 4% of the purchase price toward certain expenses, such as:

  • Prepaid property taxes

  • Prepaid homeowners insurance

  • Escrow items

  • Debt payoff needed for loan approval

  • Temporary or permanent rate buydowns

This structure creates one of the lowest cash-to-close pathways of any mortgage program available today.


Closing Costs vs. Seller Concessions (VA Rules)

Closing Costs

  • Examples: appraisal, title fees, lender fees

  • VA Limit: Seller can pay 100%

Seller Concessions

  • Examples: prepaid taxes, prepaid insurance, debt payoff, rate buydowns

  • VA Limit: Capped at 4% of the purchase price

When these are combined properly, many veterans are able to preserve their savings while still securing competitive home financing.
