No matter how you are, you will not be able to be a successful negotiation. Some negotiations are not necessarily achieved. But the purpose of this article is to help you on the necessary skills, the best measure of success in the negotiations in real estate.

When real estate investors are successful in negotiating with a motivated seller. Sellers may be motivated to sell, for several reasons: the movement and do not want as an owner, loss of jobs and research to avoid the division, divorce, the house is a succession undesirable increases mortgage and could not afford, etc. .. Therefore, the most important stage in the negotiations, it is his “why” of the point or pain. Why are they selling? And what are the consequences if it is unable to sell?

Consider an example from our real estate in San Antonio, TX. The seller has inherited a house, it will be something to repair. The property has an after repair for a total of about 100,000 United States dollars. However, this is an ugly house that is not painted or had new carpeting in a few decades, and requires updates. The foundation must be repaired and A / C is over 20 years. The seller requires $ 60,000, but you think the price is too high given the amount of necessary repairs.

Therefore, the most important aspect of negotiations is, understanding the consequences of not an agreement for the seller and able to find a solution for the consequences.

This part of the negotiation process is absolutely essential. If you’re like the investor, the seller of the implementation of the Agreement, you have the ability, the value added to your offer, without money for your offer. If money is not the problem but time and management of real estate is the question, could you offer for the prize in return for speeding up the buying process? If you could offer in which banks, and to the 7 days, but for a reduced price, the seller will make with this offer? Want lifting of $ 40 dollars on? Do you find the needs of the seller leads to a win-win scenario.

Here are eight steps to a successful negotiation:

1 – Be prepared. If you have the visit and the opening of negotiations with a seller or buyer, you want to be informed on the property and territory. Do you have your duty. More information about the property and territory, the more tools you have for the negotiations. Like many of Foreclosure are nearby? Is there a new building nearby? What are the schools? The crime rate? All elements of knowledge required for reduction of value or a seller of value to a buyer.

2 – Do you have an open dialogue. You want your case and you want to hear as well. Active listening is the most important part of this step. Listen to the coherence of its history, to see if your pain or the real motivation.

v. One hand on the back of the throat or a finger in the neck could also indicate that the person loses interest in what you say.
d. An object in one of the mouth, like a pen or paper clip, means that no one “feeds” that you say, and asked for more information.

Remember, whether to buy or sell, if you’re not able, the price you want, then the words you want. The seller, the price fall of 20% is a victim. The cost of the acquisition of my money at a higher price, within 7 days and more the property of the state is a victim. But if both parties are willing to sacrifice, then the successful transactions may occur.
