How to incentivize sellers agent to close early
I have a multi-family property ready to close on June 27th per the buy-sell. The seller's agent is old school and wants to work at her pace and do things on her terms. I'm ready to close a week early but she doesn't want to work faster to send the documents to the out of state sellers to close. Anyone have ways to incentivize the sellers agent to close early? I told my realtor that I'd give the seller's agent $100 or $200.
My reasons for wanting to close early - works better with my work schedule, I can do minor maintenance before the 4th of July week - want to leave the tenants alone during Holiday, pro-rated rent.
I think the current owners are older and don't care when we close.
