$39,175. That's what Scott McAnany put back in his buyers' pockets in February alone, just by being stubborn at the negotiating table in the right ways.
Closing costs in Tampa aren't fixed. Sellers can cover them, lenders can structure around them, and a good agent knows exactly how far to push before a deal breaks. Scott knows how far that is. That's why he's our Top Negotiator for February 2026.
What Gets Negotiated That Most Buyers Don't Know About
Most buyers assume closing costs are set in stone. They aren't. Seller concessions, lender credits, inspection repair credits, title fees, prepaid items — every one of these is a negotiation. Scott's specialty is knowing which ones to go after based on how motivated the seller is, how long the property's been sitting, and what the appraisal gives him to work with.
In February, that combination added up to $39,175 across his clients. That's real money back in real bank accounts, not a line item buried in a disclosure form.
Negotiating Right Isn't the Same as Negotiating Hard
Aggressive buyers don't close. Precise ones do. Scott earned this award not by demanding the world on every deal, but by reading each situation and knowing what to ask for, when to ask, and how to frame it so the seller can say yes.
That’s the Vreeland Real Estate standard. Every agent on our team negotiates. Not everyone negotiates like Scott. Congratulations, Scott. February 2026 is yours.
