A few things to keep in mind when you decide you want to sell your home, besides the obvious, tidy up, declutter and try to make it odour free, is to be FLEXIBLE! When an offer comes in, don't take it for granted, yes there could be more, but there might not be for six months from now, or they could come with conditions or a lower price. Try to work with what you've got and that's where our problem solving skills often come into play. Problem solving skills you ask?
Sometimes closing dates can be an issue. There are always alternatives (we've even had clients move in with us...no joke), sometimes the price can be an issue, that's where we negotiate on your behalf, or maybe the home inspection shows issues. Our team has dealt with problem solving in real estate for many years, but we can only come up with a workable solution if both parties are flexible. Give a little, and get your house sold and be stress free! Negotiations will work when there is flexibilty on both sides.
When looking at an offer it is sometimes difficult to think of the other party involved as they are only names on a paper. The best attitude to have is a flexible one. Both parties involved want to make a deal, so take a few minutes and let us make the offer work for everyone! You might have to move a week earlier than you wanted, or maybe you had to pay the asking price, but was $2,000 off really worth loosing your dream house or loosing the offer and keeping you stuck somewhere you don't want to be six months from now? Try to look at the big picture and ask yourself, if they get to keep the curtains, will that really matter a year from now?
Buying and selling real estate is a juggling act, and our goal is to put our clients first, help them solve real estate problems and move on to their next chapter and next home.
