Selling a House Step 4 Negotiate an offer

It is extremely important to have an experienced, professional real estate agent do the negotiating for you when selling your house.

The Lowry Team has over 17 years of experience negotiating home sales in the Cincinnati area. Our listings sell for around 1% more than the market average – that could mean thousands of dollars more in your pocket.

With current market conditions, homes are selling pretty close to the list price. However, there may be times when you will receive a complete lowball offer. Try not to take it personally; it's 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.

Depending on market conditions, it may be 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.

It's important to keep in mind that there is more to the negotiation process than just agreeing upon a price. You will also be negotiating occupancy 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.
