Buyer Success Guide by Cynthia Rich

NEGOTIATION

Negotiating Repairs: After a home inspection, negotiate repairs or credits based on the inspection report. Prioritize essential repairs and approach negotiations with solutions rather than demands. Leveraging Market Conditions: Leverage current market conditions to strengthen the negotiation position. In a buyer's market, there may be more room for negotiation on price and terms. Escalation Clause: Include an escalation clause in the offer, allowing the buyer's offer to automatically increase if competing offers are received, up to a specified maximum. Timing and Patience: Consider the timing of the offer and be patient during negotiations. Strategic timing can sometimes work in the buyer's favor. Walk-Away Power: Demonstrate a willingness to walk away from the deal if negotiations reach an impasse. This gives the buyer leverage and signals seriousness about the desired terms. Leveraging Professional Network: Utilize professional networks and relationships to gather information about the seller's motivations and potential flexibility in negotiations.
