Targeting The Sale:
Your target is to get the most money out of your home while the buyers target is to get the best deal. In the end however, you are both looking for the same thing, a sale of your home with a price and terms you are both willing to agree to.
Evaluate The Buyer:
Find out as much as you can about the buyer and their ability to complete the transaction before accepting. Make sure they are pre-qualified for the amount they are wiling to pay and feel free to contact their lending regarding their pre-approval. It is a good idea to ask the lender if there is anything you should be concerned with about the buyers qualifications.
Remain Friendly:
It is important to keep communications on an agreeable level. Be a flexible as possible at all stages of negotiation. Stay calm and friendly even if the buyer does not. Added pressure can create a tense situation and possibly make you loose the sale.
Look At All Offers:
Even if the offer is low it is a good idea to respond. Sometimes buyers will try a lower offer looking for a deal even thought they might be prepared to pay your asking price. Buying a home is an emotional process and and usually takes a large commitment to write an offer in the first place.
Respond Quickly:
A buyer who makes an offer is in the mood to buy. They might give you 24 - 48 hours to respond but your best bet is to respond immediately. As you know moods can change and you do not want your prospective buyer to have second thoughts, especially if you counter their offer.
