Negotiating The Sale

 .

Successful negotiating encompasses the acquired ability to use certain skills and techniques to bring about coveted win-win results. Your CENTURY 21 Affiliates real estate professional can help you stay focused and objective during the sale.

1. Start with a thoroughly researched, fair price.
2. Respect the other side’s priorities. For example, a buyer with an urgent move-in date might be willing to pay a higher portion of the transaction costs or forgo some major repairs. Or, a buyer may prefer to push out the closing date, in order to be more confident that there will be no unanticipated additional expenses.
3. In any case, be prepared to compromise: “win-win” doesn’t mean both the buyer and the seller will get everything they want. It means both sides will win some and give some.
