reactions. If the buyer shows an inflated ego and comes across as a know-it-all, you must ensure that it does not impact you. Conversely, if the buyer appears to be the sweetest, kindest—but somewhat financially struggling—individual you’ve ever encountered, do not let that deter you from achieving a fair deal. Stay alert, even if the sale is progressing quickly and smoothly. Sometimes, this can indicate that the buyers might back out of the deal. Both parties need to engage in enough discussion to prevent the buyer from jumping ship or you from experiencing seller’s remorse. You may later sense that the buyer would have been willing to offer more for your home.
DON'T LET YOUR EGO GE UR EGO GET THE BEST OF YOU
During negotiations, there may be a time when you think of all the labor and time you have invested into getting your home sold. Hours upon hours spent cleaning, staging, showing, and communicating may suddenly flood your mind. You may wonder if it was in vain when faced with buyers who are critical, demanding, or rude. Retaliation in a like manner can break a deal, so learn to deal with potential homebuyers objectively. Don’t let your ego get in the way of a good deal.
