With so much money at stake, it is critically important to select an agent that can negotiate effectively. How did I put and EXTRA $190K into my client's pocket? Good negotiating skills and knowledge of property values. Here's how.... The 965 sqft house was initially listed at $1.395M.After 2 days on the market and only 1 showing, we dropped the price to $1,095M.4 Days later, a buyer submitted an pre-emptive offer for $1,401,127. I suggested that my client not accept the offer. Based on the level of interest, I suggested that my client set an offer date, hoping to receive multiple offers that can be played against each other. The seller received 3 offers on the offer date. After a couple rounds of negotiating, my client settled for a final sale price of $1,591,127 - that is $190,000 (14%) over the initial offer price. At $1,649/sqft, that's not too shabby for a little house with a brick foundation during Covid!
