Step
6 - Negotiating to Buy |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Once
your offer is made, you and your real estate agent may need to enter some
negotiation in order to reach an agreement. Keep in mind that almost everything
is negotiable when you are buying a house. This can give you a great deal
of leverage in the buying process -- that is, if you have adequate information
and you use it in an appropriate manner. Your agent will have the market
knowledge and negotiating expertise necessary to make sure that your offer
is accepted at the best price and terms possible for you.
Some of the things that you
may have to negotiate are:
· The price
· Financing
· Closing costs
· Repairs that need to be done
· Appliances and fixtures
· Landscaping
· Painting
· Occupancy time frame
The key to successful
negotiating is keeping in mind that the end result must make both you,
the buyer, and the seller happy. Otherwise, negative feelings will persist
throughout the remainder of the process and someone may walk away feeling
that they were not treated fairly.
