NEGOTIATE THE OFFER...
Once your offer is
made, you and your RE/MAX Village Properties
realtor may need to enter some negotiation in
order to reach an agreement. Keep in
mind that almost everything is negotiable when
you are buying a house. This can give you a
great deal of leverage in the buying process --
that is, if you have adequate information and
you use it in an appropriate manner. Your agent
will have the market knowledge and negotiating
expertise necessary to make sure that your offer
is accepted at the best price and terms possible
for you.
Some of the things that
you may have to negotiate are:
| |
-
The price
- Financing
- Closing costs
- Repairs that need to be done
- Appliances and fixtures
- Landscaping
- Painting
- Occupancy time frame |
The key to
successful negotiating is keeping in mind that
the end result must make both you, the buyer,
and the seller happy. Otherwise,
negative feelings will persist throughout the
remainder of the process and someone may walk
away feeling that they were not treated fairly
