5 Tips for Negotiating Success
The relation that you may have with your realtor, makes a great difference in the success on every transaction, so read carefully the following advices that will help you to consider important aspects:
Selling your home is a monumental event.
For personal and financial reasons. Defining your expectations and establishing the "Rules of Engagement" before you begin negotiations will enhance your selling experience.
Articulate Your Needs
Work with your real estate agent to define your preferred conditions, desired closing dates and minimum offer price before negotiations begin. Understanding the difference between your needs and wishes will facilitate successful negotiations later.
The Right Price
When you hit the market with the 'right' asking price (and a home in good showing condition), you will probably improve your bargaining power by attracting multiple offers. With a range of potential purchasers to consider, you may drive up the purchase price, facilitate the process with a pre-qualified buyer, or negotiate more attractive terms.
Anticipate Negotiations
Negotiating an offer is a fine balance of give-and-take. Give your Realtor some latitude by establishing the parameters of negotiation upfront. On what conditions are you willing to compromise? How might you enhance your offering for potential purchasers? What are your critical priorities?.
Understand the Offer
Accepting the Offer to Promise to Purchase is a legally binding agreement. Before you accept/reject/counter-offer, make sure you understand all the legal implications and financial obligations implied in the terms and conditions of the offer (including inspections, closing dates and financing). When considering the price, remember to factor in closing fees and associated costs to complete transaction. If you have questions or concerns, ask before you sign!
