NOR’WEST NEWS
Negotiation may be a key requirement
for a successful real estate career, but it’s
surprising how often fluency in this core
skill is absent.
This is an assessment I’ve made through recent
personal observations of consultants from a
myriad of different companies, in addition to
‘coalface’ participation, and as a result I’m now
prioritizing the teaching of negotiation methods.
It is, after all, a skill that benefits from practice,
and all skills are improved through training and
diligence.
It’s not necessarily easy and, for some consultants,
it’s just too confronting to move people from their
expectations. In previous markets, especially in the
days when house purchases flowed off the back of
large insurance payouts, very little negotiation may
have actually been required, especially regarding
price. But not now. In the current market, not
negotiating effectively prevents everyone from
meeting at the point of compromise and can
prevent a result. Little wonder it is so important to
get a skilled negotiator.
History has taught me that every owner (myself
included) wants the best/highest price and this
may or may not be a realistic price. Accompanying
this is the fact that every buyer wants to pay the
fairest/lowest price, not necessarily the asking
price. There you have it: the dichotomy of any
sales process.
With property, all the odds are particularly large, so
the stakes are high – as are the emotions.
The solution lies with effective negotiation and
here are some of the practices and philosophies
supporting that process.
To be an exceptional negotiator requires strong
communication skills, both through listening and
through clearly and empathetically discussing both
sides of a situation, emphasis on both! There are
three documented phases to negotiation:
1. Preparation Which looks at the intention of each
party, for example, as set out in a contract.
In real estate that’s seen in the presentation of an
offer where negotiations can be required to move
the two parties to a point of acceptance.
2. Development This could be where specific
clauses are determined, the all-important price is
considered, and specific points of view or conflict
are argued and defended. Some consultants excel
at this.
3. Closing Just as it states, all parties have matters
done (or not), they understand what has transpired
and then everything is recorded in writing.
Now this whole process might take minutes, hours,
a day. I’ve seen negotiations go on for a week and
the clinical description I’ve detailed overlooks the
massive emotional weight that comes to bear. It can
involve tears, conflict and disappointments, but it
can also be an incredibly satisfying and happy event.
It’s therefore critical to know your agent has the skill
to navigate the often choppy waters of negotiation.
I'll be doing my utmost to ensure they do.
