Negotiation tips for your next real estate transaction
W hether you’ve never bought and sold a
house or you’ve done both a dozen times, taking part in the real estate negotia-tion process can be tricky. Your Galveston area Realtor® is there to guide you, but here are some do’s and don’ts to help you get started.Don’t trust the Internet
There are plenty of online sites that tell you what a property is worth. Unfortunately, they are not always accurate. The only way to get the best information to have the strongest position in real estate negotiations is to use a Realtor®. Galveston area Realtors® have access to accurate data about the current market and recent sales to help you come up with the best offer price.
Don’t automatically reject lowball offers
When you’re selling your house, you may think it’s a waste of time to consider an offer that is way below the sale price you expect. Rejecting these offers outright means you won’t ever find out how close to your asking price the buyer was willing to go. You also can take that opportunity to negotiate a deal that includes other favorable provisions in addition to the purchase
price. For example, maybe the
buyers are flexible about closing dates or the offer isn’t contingent upon the buyers selling their own home. You can also have your Realtor invite the buyers to submit anoth-er offer. Texas Realtors® are authorized to use the Texas Association of Realtors Seller’s Invitation to Buyer to Submit New Offer form, which allows you to indicate what would make the buyers’ offer more attractive. This form isn’t a counteroffer; your property can remain on the market and you can consider other offers and accept another offer even if your Texas Realtor uses this form.
