Real Estate Article: Negotiations

Helping you with negotiations is one of the most important things an experienced real estate agent can do for you. But you want someone who will explain the negotiations process and the possible ramifications of offers and counter offers. That is a special skill. Many in the industry think that just telling a buyer or seller what to do is helping them. But it's your money....and your home, so you should make the final decision on negotiation matters. Only someone with many years of experience can help you with negotiations the right way.

• Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you need help with negotiations.

• Whether you have never owned a home before or if you have bought and sold many homes, you need help with negotiations.

• Whether you have never negotiated on anything before or if you negotiate all the time in your work, you need help with negotiations.

Why is that?  

• Because the purchase or sale of a home is really an emotional decision that we rationalize with facts.  

• Because, even if you have owned many homes, you can't be expected to know all the ramifications of contract changes and how they can effect you.

• Because negotiations in a home purchase have long range effects on your personal life.

OK, so now you are wondering how an agent can help you with negotiations.  After all, you know what you want the price to be and you know when you want closing to be.  Isn't that enough?
