Stay alert, even if the sale seems to be progressing quickly and smoothly. Sometimes, a lack of discussion can signal that the buyer might be backing out. Engaging in a certain amount of negotiation and dialogue helps the buyer stay committed and prevents seller’s remorse. Later, you might realize that the buyer was actually willing to pay more for your home.
DON'T LET YOUR EGO GE UR EGO GET THE BEST OF YOU
During negotiations, you may find yourself reflecting on the many hours and effort you’ve invested in preparing your home—cleaning, staging, showing, and communicating. At times like these, encountering buyers who are critical, demanding, or rude can make you feel discouraged and upset. Retaliation can break a deal, so it’s important to remain objective when dealing with potential homebuyers. Keep yourself in check!
