Negotiating Conduct
Negotiating PrioritiesResolve easiest issues 1st
Ask Why questions
Have other agents working with you
Give yourself an alternative
Don’t give-up something without getting something in return
What other homes are on their list?
Questions for Buyers Agent (A)
My job is to get your offer accepted as written, but I need your help. Can I get it?
Can you give me 3 Comps to support the offer price so I can defend it to the seller?
What have you seen that is priced better than this home?
If the seller can’t take the price offered should I just have them reject it or should they make a counter offer?
What do you think needs to be done to make this sale work?
Questions for Buyers Agent (B)
If you or your buyer could say two things to the seller to convince them to take their offer what would those two things be?
What can you tell me about your buyer that will make the seller feel good and take the buyer’s offer?
Questions for Buyers Agent (C)
If this was your listing where would you have suggested the seller price it?
What’s more important to the buyer, the sales price, getting the closing costs paid by the seller or the closing date?
Questions for Buyers Agent (D)
Article 3
NAR Code of Ethics
Realtors shall cooperate with brokers except when cooperation is not in the client’s best interest
Article 3-6
NAR Code of Ethics
Realtors shall disclose the existence of accepted offers including offers with unresolved contingencies to any broker seeking cooperation
I have a way to get that done
Under the new TRID Rules, neither the lender nor the Realtor can call the Appraiser.
Working with the Appraiser
Working with the Lender, Title Company, etc
Get control of the closing transaction
Buyer and Seller Authorization Forms
CONFIDENCE
It’s not arrogance
It’s in your tone when you speak
It’s key to negotiating effectively
It’s not something we are born with
Your show of confidence makes people more likely to trust you
Be prepared Have a positive attitude Get Organized Believe in yourself Motivate yourself
Confidence Boosters
C
COMPELLING
Leave your personal feelings out of it
Be able to present your case
Know your subject better than your competitor
Speak from a position of authority C
COMPASSION
To feel what is being said and be able to interpret it
Ability to show empathy and sympathy Have appreciation for other opinions
Try to understand the other party’s C position
Start with things the parties can agree with Each party sacrifices to reach agreement Normally an agreement won’t be reached without meeting each party's major needsNot all negotiations are meant to work out
COLLABORATE - COMPROMISE
C
You can not change reality
Never make their problems your problems
All you can do is manage people’s expectations of reality
Sympathize with your prospects

Always negotiate from the position of strength
Know your market better than the competition
Have the very latest information.
Know the true motivation of the buyers, sellers and the other agent
Ask questions to learn about the situation, the issues, and the participants
Understand all the participants needs and interests
Work within a range that includes minimums and maximums
Set reasonable goals for what you hope to achieve during the negotiation
Whatever happens, Remember It’s Not Your Fault
You have No control over the Market or Property Conditions
Never offend the buyer, seller or other agentAlways strive for high moral ethics
Strive to find common groundNever get into an argument
It should always be a Win – Win for all parties
It’s not about You, it’s about the party you represent
Ask Open Ended Questions
Why? is that?
What? do You mean by that?
When? do you have to be there?
Who? else is going to be involved in the decision making?
How? are you going to do that?
Why: Why is it important to you?
Addition: Is there anything else that would cause you to …?
Meet: If we could meet those objections, would you …?
Else: What else is bothering you?
Bury: If we could take care of that?
Amounts to: Then what it amounts to is …?
Ask Open Ended Questions
Learn everything you can about the situation,the issues and the participants
Understand all the participants needs and interests
Set reasonable goals for what you hope to achieve during the negotiation, and rank them by priority
Anticipate the others parties comments and prepare your responses
Always remain calm, pleasant, and unflappable
My job is to get you from where you are to where you want to be
I don’t know if I can help you or not, that depends upon the decisions you make today
I am here to help you but you are the one who will ultimately have to make the right decision
Find ways to agree with the other party
Set a deadline for an answer
Know when to stop negotiating
Remember that some deals just can’t be closed no matter what you do
Don’t just stick to the bottom line priceNever respond with an offer that isn’t likely to be accepted
Always give yourself an alternativePrice is one thing and Net is another
“I have great news, we have an offer on your home.”
“We are $___________ closer to selling it today than we were yesterday.”
“Don’t be upset at this buyer Be upset at the other buyers who looked at your home and didn’t even
make an offer.”
Cushion a Low Offer
Show the seller an example of contract where a seller turned down a good offer only to accept a much lower one 6 months later
Explain to the seller, “I don’t want you to make this same mistake.”
Getting the Seller to be Realistic
Keep the sellers focused on what their reasons are for selling
Keep the buyer focused on why they chose this home over the others
“Know why the best homes sell first?” Because they are the Best Homes
“Other folks who sold their homes in the last few years
felt they gave it away at the time, but now they are glad
they sold when they did.”
If the buyer or seller can’t accept the first offer, always counter the offer
Explain to your client that is always better to “keep the line of communications open” if you want to make a sale
You can’t make a deal work when No One is Talking!
Never let the deal die on your side
In controversial moments, my perception is always right
I always see both points of view
the one that’s wrong and mine
“The only difference from where you are right now and where you’ll be one year from now are the books you read and the people you associate with.”
Charlie Tremendous Jones
Never argue with an idiot…
...people watching may not be able to tell which one IS the idiot!
Facts of Life
Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could
simply press
