in this situation and have total control over who you turn down and how. Always take the time to clear your head, and get every offer in a written, documented form.
Preparing for and Surviving the Negotiation Process
There is absolutely no shame in taking a slow and steady approach to the negotiation process. After all, this is the biggest step in selling your home, so you must be sure you are doing everything right. Don’t be afraid to ask the buyer all the tough questions that pop into your head. Stand your ground when it comes to your appraisal and asking price. Don’t let buyers negotiate with you to the point of pulling your hair out and caving. Always keep everything in written form and document it all. You are the boss when it comes to negotiations over your home. If a buyer tries to guilt trip you into lowering your asking price too far because of their financial problems, stand your ground and keep your head level as much as possible. If you are struggling to the point of being stressed out or backed into a corner by a buyer, there is no shame in telling them to hit the road or asking for help from a real estate agent. They can advise you on what to do and even take over the negotiation process if necessary. Standing your ground is the most crucial part, and sometimes, bringing in help from a second party will be required.
