Can you explain what a sellers concession is to me as if I was a child?
Q. I am confused. What does a seller concession mean? We are buying a house.
Asked by thezookeeper - Mon Nov 12 16:33:12 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You are buying a house and you give the seller money. The seller, in return, gives you title to the property. He must also adhere to the law. He might need inspections, or have other things done, before the property can be legally sold, and ownership transferred to you. Beyond anything that is required by law, the seller can give you more, if he wants to. These extras are called seller's concessions. They are incentives that he willingly adds to the sale for your benefit. Usually, you don't pay any more for a seller's concession. Sometimes, however, it's better to just make an offer with a lower sale price, than it is to ask the seller to make concessions.

Am I ready to be a Manager of a clothing concession? Tell me what you think?
Q. I'm an assistant manager of a department already in House of fraser, It's huge, we take a lot of money and are in charge of around 10 staff. We're also a big branch so take messages for other stores, work closely with our area manager. Have a very high anual turnover and floor space. Do you think it's a good idea, progression wise to apply for concession MANAGER of a smaller department, with around 4 staff including myself? smaller takeover, smaller floor space etc? I know I'm a brilliant assistant manager, I'm very young, but I think that helps a fashon department, fresh ideas etc. I'm just worried about how far I'd get seeing as I've come from being an assistant manager not a manager, but the work scale is different, a lot less work… [cont.]
