Selling Your Cincinnati Home – Part Five

June 18, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

Selling Your Cincinnati Home Series – Part Five

Negotiating An Offer.

It is extremely important to have an experienced, professional real estate agent do the negotiating for you. Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team will have already communicated with you regarding what your estimated net proceeds might be. The house will be priced right for the market (Click Here for Pricing Your Home, Part 3 of the Series) and be show ready (Click Here for Staging Your Home, Part 4 of the Home Seller Series).

There are going to be times when you will receive a completely low ball offer. Do not take it personally, it is just business. Your real estate agent will make sure that the buyer is pre-approved for a loan and keep negotiating the offer for you.

It important to try to keep negotiations going. The more time and money spent, the more the buyers will feel invested in reaching an agreement with you and buying your house.

There is more to the negotiation process then agreeing upon a price. You may negotiate the type of financing and the closing date. Also, closing costs, repairs made to the home and personal property are items that can make or break a deal. In the end, sometimes a small concession is all that is needed to agree upon a final purchase contract.
