18. Negotiating<br />

There is an art to negotiating. The best approach can vary depending on a<br />

few different factors:<br />

The buyer we’re dealing with<br />

The agent we’re dealing with<br />

The overall situation (how many showings you’re getting, how many<br />

buyers have interest, current market climate, etc.)<br />

Your personal situation and desired approach<br />

There are definitely other factors to consider as well.<br />

Many sellers believe that they need to play “hard ball” to get the best<br />

price for their house. That can work in some situations, but can also<br />

backfire. Bear in mind that you don’t want to turn your buyer off and that<br />

in some markets there is a lot of inventory to be sold.<br />

Generally in residential home sales, hard ball isn’t going to be your best<br />

option. In real estate, what happens in movies and TV isn’t what your<br />

going to see in real life.<br />
