Conroe – Many buyers will ask what your bottom line is. They know that they can usually negotiate a home seller down to an even lower price.
Don't fall for it. You've already made the first move by setting a price for your home. Tell the buyers that you need to think it over and get back to them.

Then, ask them what they like about your home. If they tell you, then you can determine their motivation to buy your home. After that, ask them what they are thinking of offering on your home.
The reason this rule is so important is that in some negotiations you may offer more at the beginning than the other party is willing to accept. Here is an example of this.
A person I know was trying to buy something. He had a price in mind that he was willing to pay. He thought the best price he could get was $1,500, but he was willing to pay up to $2,000.
He asked the seller what he wanted for the item. The seller responded that he didn't know what he wanted. He offered the seller $1,500 and the seller accepted it.
Later on he learned that the seller was desperate. The seller had a price in mind of $800 to $1,000. If the seller had mentioned an opening price first, then he would have saved $500! Instead the seller made an extra $500.

Important Notice
Laura Austin, Keller Williams Realty, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?
Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.
However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.
We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax adviser before making any decision.
This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.
You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go through with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
The views expressed here are Laura's personal views and do not reflect the views of Keller Williams Realty.
