The art of negotiation
Would you be willing to risk $1,000s at a table with a professional poker player?
Auctioneers and real estate agents are professional negotiators. It's not a fair fight for an amateur poker player to play vs a professional player so why would it be fair in a real estate transaction?
Just as in poker, there are many tell-tale signs to look for as prospective buyers participate in an auction. It could be as simple as a weight shift or a look from one partner to another. This is giving the auctioneer information that they can use against you. It’s their job to try to predict your next move and to make as much money as possible for their vendor.
Even with a private negotiation, most buyers only go through the process a few times in their lifetime. The person on the other side of the table has likely gone through hundreds of negotiations throughout their career. You could end up paying much more than you should.
Why take a gamble with your hard-earned money if you don't have to?
Sometimes, it's best to hire a professional. Negotiation is one of the many components of property buying that Azure Buyers Agents can assist with. It can be quite daunting and stressful for a lot of people and can ultimately cost the buyer thousands of dollars. We are here to alleviate some of the tension and guide you through the process.
