I must confess that I am someone who is really bad in the negotiation skills. But, the tips shared by you are something that are helpful. A few months back we bought a house in Seattle region. First I did the search on resortscape and then I decided on a house, they put me in contact with an agent. I must say here this guy turned out to be real help. He sent us the video of the house along with some photographs. I must say it was through his help that we got a very fine deal. This saved us from a lot of unnecessary worries. I really want everyone to see my house, so I am leaving the link.( <a HREF="http://www.resortscape.com/default.aspx?ct=D&pid=23058&utm_medium=linktous&utm_source=PT" rel="nofollow">http://www.resortscape.com/default.aspx?ct=D&pid=23058&utm_medium=linktous&utm_source=PT</a> ).

Negotiation is really an art. But like anything else, it can be improved with practice.One trick my step-father would use on an agent that was trying to get him to buy at an unnecessarily low price, was to tell him or her that he would gladly accept the deal, if the agent was willing to take a 50% cut in the agent's fee.

As a broker, I try to coach my clients prior to viewing it, not to get emotionally attached. When the untrained and emotionally attached property purchaser walks into a property and immediately places all their furniture and personal belongings into a property in their mind, it's tough to walk away even when it's the right thing to do.

It may not be what a buyer wants to do, but if they want the house bad enough, they will do what it takes. Being able to ‘walk away’ is always important!

I can sometimes be quite bad at negotiating, and need to work on my skills in that area a bit more. Hopefully with your tips next time I'm looking to buy I won't be stuck with a bad deal!
