Realtors who advocate for their clients are always striving for the best
possible terms for the transaction. Everything in real estate contracts is
negotiable
and good realtors, when warranted, don’t hesitate to counteroffer with a price
that is more favorable to their client. They have the negotiation skills necessary
to
get the job done right.
When it comes to negotiating, Realtors can leave more money in your pocket. In all
the
excitement it might not seem like much, but let’s look at a concrete example.
If
you negotiate even 1 percent on the sale of your home that is selling for
$1,000,000,
that amounts to 10k. If we also do it on your purchase, let’s say for example
1,500,000, that amounts to another 15k. All of a sudden you have 25k more in your
pocket
at the end of the day. Every penny counts!
Not to mention all the inclusions and things you don’t want, such as
appliances,
blinds or curtains and curtain rods. These things can add up to thousands of
dollars.
