Counter Offers and Negotiations (for the buying side)

They came back with ?????
Counter-offers can feel like a battle.  And sometimes they are.
On the other hand, they can be a process of formally working out details of what can be a win-win.
One of the roles of working through agents is to reduce the emotion of the negotiations.  It makes negotiation more business-like and increases the likelihood of a positive outcome.
Sometimes our role is to fight hard for something you want.  Sometimes it is to tell you to let something small go for the bigger win.
You are always in control.
We give you options, the likely consequence of each option, and usually will have an option we recommend over the others.
You decide what move you want to make.  Then we present it in a professional way that increases the odds that it might be accepted.
The result is eventually either a contract or we go on to the next property.
​We're with you either way.
