    It’s been quite some time since we had a true buyer’s market, but the negotiating process can still be delicate (ie. you can’t always just lowball and hardball and expect the seller to cave).

    Can anyone recommend websites or books on how to successfully negotiate real estate?

    Or share some of your own successful real estate negotiations?

    Know your seller and his/her motivation.
    Get a title report before offering so you know exactly what the encumbrances are.

    Don’t sweat the details (washer/dryer, drapes, etc.. )

    Good question. I think builders would be more receptive to extreme lowball moreso than resale, has anyone had success with offering 15%+ off builder’s ask? Not too long ago I had a buddy offered 50K off builder’s ask in SEH…and they accepted. He’s kicking himself for not being more aggressive.

    The problem I experience so far about finding deals is that buyers out there will prevent you from getting it. All the listing that are priced aggressively always end up with multiple offers and the final price is always above asking. Getting a deal from an overpriced listing I think is not really a deal at all. Anyone have any other experience?
