Getting the Best Deal

Once you’ve created a list that crystallizes your thinking on the type of home and amenities you want, the next step is narrowing down your choices by looking at condo projects and neighborhoods and going through homes and open houses. From this activity, certain neighborhoods, projects, and home styles start standing out, and your shopping becomes more focused.

It won’t be long before you walk into a house or condo and know that this is it. It has the feeling of home, and an emotional attachment develops as you walk through.
It can get both exciting and stressful when you stand in the entry and know this is the house you want. This is what you’ve been searching for. You want the home, but you also want the best deal you can get. So what do you offer? How low an offer can you make and not insult the sellers or lose the house? How can you protect yourself from problems?
