When a Buyer makes an offer to purchase a property, they can negotiate for the sellers to pay money toward closing costs and pre-paid items as long as it is written into the sales agreement. On the Delaware Real Estate Sales Agreement, this is typically written into section 32 of the sales contract. A seller is allowed to pay money towards closing costs, prepaid items, and reserves. The seller cannot, however, contribute toward the down payment.
