Importance of Good Real Estate Negotiating Skills

KEY LARGO, Fla. - Sept. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Importance of Good Real Estate Negotiating Skills

Per Sally Stribling, Top producing Real Estate Agent in the Upper Florida Keys,”It’s true, you need an agent that is intimately familiar with the local market, understands the buying and selling processes, and, is able to get deals to the closing table with both sides coming and leaving happy.

You can’t go with an agent because of style, their presentation, or ability to impress with statistics. You do, however, need an agent, that can clearly show you a track record of success. That necessarily includes good negotiating skills, and here are some reasons this is so important:

● You want an agent that is about you, not them. Sure, a good agent will broker a better deal for you, which means a bigger commission for him or her, but, that’s a win-win scenario. You also want a real estate agent that won’t back down, to the other party, or, even to you. A truly helpful agent won’t let you make a bad decision without ample warning.

● You don’t know who is on the other side of the table. Personalities and business skills come in all shapes and sizes. If your agent  is skillful at striking a good deal, you have a friend that’s looking out for your best interest and not letting you walk into a bad deal unknowingly.

● You should be able to put a trustworthy person between you and the other party. Good negotiators not only know how to play the game, and, do so without you being involved in every conversation. Both selling and buying are emotional traps, and, a good agent treats it as a business transaction.

Remember, it isn’t always about getting the ideal price, in some instances, you come out better through contingencies.Sally Stribling, Broker/Associate with Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate Company,specializes in the sale of fine Homes and Condos in The Florida Keys.
