Their Agent Took the First Offer—And Left Thousands on the Table

A homeowner once told me, “It felt like our agent just wanted to get it over with—not get us the best deal.”

That’s hard to hear.  Why? Selling your home requires more than simply placing a sign in the yard and accepting the first offer that comes along; it takes careful planning, patience, and protecting all the equity that's been accrued in it.

Negotiation is where all the real work starts.

When I negotiate on behalf of my clients, my goal is more than simply getting their transaction completed; rather I look into every aspect of negotiations in detail to gain leverage and discover buyer motivation; then use this knowledge to push for stronger terms.  Price is important, yes, but so are repairs, timelines, contingencies, and closing costs. All of those can add up to thousands of dollars left on the table if they’re not handled correctly.

Think about it this way: getting an offer is only step one. But getting the right offer—the one that maximizes your equity and protects your bottom line—that’s the real goal.

Because when you’ve spent years paying into your home, you deserve someone who’s going to fight for every dollar of it.
