How the Negotiating Process Works

Welcome back to my video blog! I wanted to continue our discussion on offers, but today I wanted to focus on the negotiating process.

The thing to keep in mind is that the best way to get what you want is to help that person get exactly what they want. Let’s say you want to make an offer on a home that is significantly lower than the asking price. How can you make sure not to offend the seller?

Make a strong deposit. Doing this can help set the seller at ease and you aren’t paying anything extra in the end either.

Clean up your offer. What do I mean by that? Receiving a low offer can be a hard pill to swallow for the seller, so why don’t you take care of  the other contingencies.  Maybe waive the radon check; not because you don’t care, but because it’s one less thing the seller needs to pay for.

If the settlement date doesn’t matter to you, let the seller know that when you make the offer. You want the seller to feel comfortable with all other parts of an offer.

If you have any questions or need an agent to help you make an offer, please give me a call! Thanks for watching!
