Negotiating in Sydney’s property market can feel like stepping onto the set of Game of Thrones; you’ve got to have your wits about you. Negotiation doesn’t start when you make an offer; it starts the second you walk through the front door. Once you know what game you’re playing, whether that be an auction process, a discreet sale, or an expired or price-reduced listing, you can adjust your strategy accordingly.
It’s not just property, it’s people
It’s 50% property and 50% people. Unless you know the selling agent and how they are preparing this particular seller for sale, you may misread the room. If you’re going into a property with negativity and lowballing offers, you’ll kill any goodwill that exists, and it may cost you the deal. To read those cues helps you stay calm while other home buyers second-guess themselves.
Knowledge that wins the home purchasing deal
Market knowledge is your key advantage. Understanding recent sales, buyer demand and what matters most to the seller lets you position your offer so it hits the mark. In the end, it’s not just about price; sellers value certainty. An offer with flexible terms at the right point in a campaign often draws the seller’s attention to you, and that’s what we want.
Stay calm. Stay strategic. Win smart.
