This VA Buyer Walked Away With $750 — Here's Why

A retired Navy veteran used a VA loan to buy his forever home in Hampton Roads, Virginia and walked out of closing getting $750 back — after the seller paid $17,700 in concessions and covered the buyer’s agent commission. In this video, Jason Edwards breaks down exactly how seller concessions work on a VA loan, the negotiation strategy that made this deal happen, and a seller success story that closed $10K over asking in just 6 days. I cover the current Hampton Roads real estate market (3,442 active listings, 2.1 months supply, 14 median days on market), how to structure a VA offer to maximize concessions, and what sellers need to know about pricing strategy in today’s competitive Southside market. I'm a retired Navy Senior Chief and real estate advisor specializing in military and relocation buyers across Suffolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach. 🎁 Download my free Buyer’s Guide to walk through the full home buying process in Hampton Roads: https://realtorjedwards.com/buyer-guide Timestamps 0:00 — How My VA Buyer Got $17,700 Back at Closing 0:36 — The Hampton Roads Market Right Now (2026 Data) 1:27 — The VA Buyer Story: Forever Home, $750 Back at Closing 5:16 — The Seller Story: $10K Over Asking in 6 Days 7:31 — What This Means If You’re Buying or Selling 8:42 — Next Steps + Free Buyer’s Guide 📲 Call or text anytime: 757-767-0480 Email: [email protected] Schedule a call: https://calendly.com/jedwrds/discover...
