ALEXANDER Why are price negotiations so difficult for most people? One psychotherapist says that we're raised to be generous and considerate, and dislike asking anyone to give up anything. We'll do almost anything not to seem greedy. Of course, the experienced negotiator knows this --and uses it. § On the other hand, some people confuse stubborness with firmness; in order not to be taken advantage of, they will not budge at all. They've - forgotten that there has to be some “‘give’’ in give and take. What makes house negotiations especially difficult is emotion. The seller is so attached to his property that he feels it is worth much more than it is. . What makes negotiating easy? Letting an expert do it. Our real estate professionals are practiced negotiators, able to deal coolly and capably with prospective buyers. We know what your property is really worth-- and we'll help you get it.
