Then how about this scenario, negotiate like a bastard on one, find the lowest they will go, then take that price to the next and see if they’ll beat it, if so, take that to the 3rd and see if they’ll beat it. If not, take it back to the first to see if they’ll beat it. If not, then buy house #2, if yes, then rinse and repeat? How’s that for a strategy?
BTW, you don’t have to let the seller know you’re negotiating w/ other at the same time. I still don’t see why having multiple negotiation at one time not work?
