\"negotiate\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to sell your home in Moultrie, Georgia or Colquitt County then sooner or later you\u2019ll need to negotiate the price. As the best realtors in town we can handle most of that for you, but we\u2019ve got some tips to help you when it comes to negotiations.<\/p>\n

Head Hagglers off at the Pass<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Before you get an offer and start negotiations, it\u2019s a good idea to take a walk round your home and see it through a buyer\u2019s eyes. If you were going to buy your home, are there any faults or little problems that you would try and lever the price down with?<\/p>\n

If there are, and these are minor problems \u2013 the best thing to do is fix them, so they don\u2019t give the prospective buyer leverage. If they\u2019re bigger problems and you don\u2019t want the expense of fixing them, it might be a good idea to have estimates taken so you can figure out what these problems are really worth \u2013 before you negotiate over them.<\/p>\n

Show the prospective buyer you\u2019re available<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you need a break, that\u2019s OK but tell your prospective buyer before you go so they understand the situation. Don\u2019t just vanish for a few weeks, that\u2019s bad business and likely to upset your buyer enough that they go elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Try to keep momentum in the sale of your home and make sure you respond to honest questions promptly.<\/p>\n

Consider the Quality of the Offer<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A lower cash bid might be better than a higher bid from someone who is stuck in a chain and needs to sell their home before they can buy yours, time is money. You may be able to use the higher bid to gain a little ground with the lower bidder too.<\/p>\n

Keep Something Back to Sweeten the Deal<\/strong><\/h4>\n

You don\u2019t always have to discount in negotiations and sometimes it can be better to concede household items instead, people like to move into houses where some or all of the white goods are in place and fridges and cookers can be a pain to move, so it can be a win-win situation for both parties.<\/p>\n

Understand Your Asking Price and Your Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The asking price is your starting price and the bottom line is the minimum you\u2019d accept to sell your home and to move from one price to the other \u2013 you should be looking for some kind of show of good faith from the buyer. If they want a discount, it can be done \u2013 but it should be for a commitment in return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
