documented transaction. If the buyer is rude, or overly enthusiastic, or super demanding, don’t let it shake you. Stick to your goal: selling your home for the best price and in the shortest time. DON’T: Let Your Ego Get the Best of You Finally, remember that your ego is not your friend in negotiations. When a buyer makes a low-ball offer, or they seem a little too eager to haggle, it can be tempting to get defensive and let your ego drive the negotiation. But doing so can ruin the deal. Stay calm and remember that your goal is a fair deal, not a chance to "teach" the buyer a lesson. Focus on the deal—not on proving a point. In Conclusion: Stay Cool, Calm, and Collected Negotiating the sale of your home isn’t just about making the highest offer—it’s about making the right deal. So remember the dos: stay patient, listen more than you speak, and always keep your business hat on. And avoid the don’ts: don’t get emotional, don’t give up too much, and don’t let silence rattle you. With the right approach, you’ll come out on top—and not only will you sell your home, but you’ll also have a successful transaction that leaves both you and the buyer feeling good. After all, in the world of real estate, you don’t have to just negotiate—you can dominate.
