Sunday, January 10, 2010 Okay, it's time to send in the Negotiator...by Ben Officer on Sun, Jan, 10, 2010 10:08 PM
Some of the aspects of my profession as a real estate agent, are to represent my clients best interests, to carry out their lawful instructions, and to work to get them the best price.
The art of negotiation is very often required to successfully bring two parties to an agreement.
Now, during the negotiation process its not necessarily just the price that’s negotiated. It can be the possession date, the deposit, the terms, or the conditions. All aspects of the transaction could be subject to negotiation.
As a Realtor, I believe our clients benefit from our experience while we take a lot of the emotion out of the negotiation, and that is a good thing. If we help the buyers and sellers to reach a mutually acceptable agreement then both sides can feel well served.
It is often said that “3rd party negotiation saves money”. This means that having a professional Realtor, like me, negotiating for you, can save you money as opposed to you negotiating with the other person yourself.
