NEGOTIATE

Negotiation begins prior to looking for the "Right Home" A very strong position to have is to be pre-qualified for a mortgage by the lender. To be pre-approved is even better. The links previously will put you in contact with two qualified lenders.

After finding the "Right Home" I will:

	try to discover prices of similar home sold in the last 6 months in the neighborhood
	help you compare it to any other homes you've looked at
	evaluate its condition and assess the amount of work it needs
	determine how long it's been on the market and attempt to discover why the Seller is selling, and if the price has been reduced.
	help you affect a strategy using time, price, and terms to your advantage

I will draw upon over 11 years experience in negotiating real estate transactions, always with your best interest in mind.

Whether it's starting with your best offer, saving room to maneuver, compromising, or making concessions to the Seller's counter, I can present you with the objectivity to help you make a wise decision. The Seller's acceptance of any contract is dependant upon his or hers motivation. Likewise, your decisions are based on motivation. We will discuss those at our first appointment.
