Selling your Home - Try to keep negotiations pleasant

Some buyers may assume they have the advantage because of the number of houses available, and they may behave overconfidently. Stay cool, because you’ll be able to get a great deal when you buy your next home, too. The shoe will be on the other foot because you'll likely recoup any losses you may have incurred on the sale of your home, by being able to buy at reduced prices, too.

Be patient. While stressful, expect negotiations to go back and forth until the contract is amended to both the buyer's and your satisfaction. Trying to “just get it over with” can cost you money. Don't make a final decision until you have all the information you need, such as the buyer's pre-approval letter and most recent comparable sales and active competition.

As long as you keep the relationship pleasant, respond to the buyer's questions with receipts, documentation, and information in a timely manner, it will be easier to negotiate the sale of your home.

Buyers want to feel that they got a good deal, and the best way to make them feel good about their purchase is to show them that you have taken good care of the home, and that you are turning over a fine asset to their care.
