Negotiation Tip to Save Thousands on your next Triangle Home Purchase!

Negotiation tip to save couple thousand on your next Triangle Home Purchase: Hi, Vic here. I'm often asked, "Vic, just how can we a better deal when we make offers, without offending the seller?"

Well, that's my cup of tea! Vic Kaspar loves the challenge of negotiating the best price on Raleigh Real Estate, and best terms too. It's exciting to keep digging for that last thousand dollars for the buyer (or seller's) favor. It's a sport, but a big dollar sport. And with 5,000 real estate agents in the Triangle, I can tell you that most of them are not too good at it. But that's just my opinion.

So here's one tip. Always include closing costs in your offer, even if you don't need them. Why put in Closing Costs when crafting your deal on Triangle Real Estate? Because closing costs weights down the whole price. The seller wants to sell, and if he thinks you have to have closing costs to make the deal...and he knows you won't pay full price, it's a psychological advantage to you.

Often the seller will think: "let's split the difference", but then in his mind, he kind of disregards the closing costs because it's bundled up in the deal, along with a home warranty, etc, and you slide through with a couple extra grand off the final price. When talking with the Selling Agent, you've got to be convincing that the deal won't go through without closings costs, and you've got 2 other properties that have indicated they might cooperate. It' works almost every time I use it. That's just one tip. I've got a few more, including one that almost always gets us $5,000 less.

Just call me, or any member of the Kaspar Team (919) 469-6555, if you want to pay less and get more with Raleigh, Cary, Apex or any Triangle Real Estate. It goes without saying that if you're a seller, I know all these methods too, and know how to confuse the buyer agent to give up and just advise his buyer to 'take it' before we sell to someone else. Happy Hunting! Vic Kaspar of the Kaspar Team, ReMax United.
