Why It Is Important to Negotiate

A home purchase is one of the largest purchases you can make. Good negotiations save thousands of dollars and costly after-the-fact expenses like repairs. It is our responsibility to have your best interest in mind at all times. When you overlook something in a real estate deal, it can amount to costly mistakes. An experienced agent, like those at Home Avenue, can save a client thousands of dollars on their home purchase.

Negotiating Basics

The art of real estate negotiation is about compromise. In a true compromise, each party walks away feeling as though they gained something without losing too much. An agent that takes a stance that is too firm may fail in negotiation and cost their client the home of their dreams.

An artful negotiator knows when to walk away and how to save a deal that needs saving. Patience is key in negotiations. Having an experienced negotiator, like those at Home Avenue, will help you win that perfect home in your real estate negotiations.

What Are the Characteristics of an Artful Negotiator?

When it comes time to hire a real estate agent, it is important to find one that is a master in the art of real estate negotiations. Look for the following characteristics when interviewing agents:

A Positive Attitude. An artful negotiator will always see the silver lining. Having a quick wit and a ready smile goes a long way to putting the people around them at ease.

Negotiate in Person. A firm handshake and looking the person you are talking with in the eye allows you to see how they feel and react to what you have to say.

Positive Body Language. A smart negotiator knows you communicate more without speaking than words. The art of negotiation is about reading body language and using the correct body language as the situation dictates.

A Sense of Humor. When something is funny or a person smiles, an artful negotiator responds in kind. This behavior helps a negotiator build relationships.

Common Ground. This is more about the ability of a person to listen to the other party in the negotiations. When you find common ground, a consensus is reached more easily. Your agent should be able to see all the points of view in a negotiation.
