How a Realtor Can Negotiate Your Offer to Purchase

You have viewed six to eight homes. You have seen the comparables for the homes you have placed in your top three list of home suitable for your next residence. You, with the assistance of your Realtor, have determined the best terms and conditions to include in your offer to purchase. What happens next?

Your Realtor needs to have knowledge about the surrounding homes and community features. Your Realtor should be able to build a case for your offer to purchase so the negotiations are defined by you, the Buyer.  The confidence you have in your Realtor should follow her into the negotiations. Today's offers are sometimes insulting to the seller so your Realtor needs to prepare you when to accept or reject counter offers. (Real Estate negotiations and transactions are long and have many pitfalls.) 

Your Realtor is into relationship building that should enable you to purchase the home for the price you want to pay with the terms and conditions you have determined. A little Dale Carnegie philosophy of acknowledging when the other side could be right goes a long way in purchasing a home in 2012.
