get a better deal on the home sales price. Make sure you get your agent to handle this, so it’s done properly as well as smartly. • Be prepared to walk away. That’s right — do not get emotionally involved with the home until you’ve actually gone through with the purchase and moved in. If something just doesn’t seem right, reject any pressure you might feel and simply walk away.

HOW TO GAIN AN ADVANTAGE:

While it’s important to stick to your list of needs in the home- search process, and to keep your list of wants handy, you need to keep an open mind if a property that you’ve fallen in love with doesn’t check off everything on the list. This means more than just concessions. It could be that, during the home-search process but after completion of your initial lists, you’ve changed your mind about something. You might end up preferring a certain style or home feature that you wouldn’t have even considered before. But remember, while it’s okay to change your mind, you shouldn’t compromise on the big-ticket items — whatever’s most important to you.
