Negotiating Home Purchase Price with the Seller

Negotiation begins before you get started looking.  A strong position is enhanced by getting prequalified for a mortgage.  Better yet, making the effort to become pre-approved will maximize your ability to strike a favorable deal.

When you find the right home, I will:

  • research the prices of similar homes sold in the last 6 months
  • help you compare this home to any other homes you've looked at
  • evaluate the home's condition and assess the amount of work it needs
  • determine how long it has been on the market, attempt to discover why the Seller is selling, and find out if the price has been reduced
  • help you determine a strategy using time, price, and terms to your advantage.
I will draw from years of experience in negotiating real estate transactions, always with your best interests in mind.

Whether it's starting with your best offer, saving room to maneuver, compromising, or making concessions to the Seller's counter-offer, I can provide you with the objectivity to help you make a wise decision.
