Negotiating With Buyers: Support From Our Team

Does negotiating with buyers make you uneasy? Worried that inexperience could cost you on the sale price? You are not on your own. PropertyNow’s licensed team is available seven days a week to talk you through it.

Private sellers deal directly with buyers, and that is often an advantage: you know the property, you know your bottom line, and there is no middleman softening the message either way. What most people want is a sounding board. Someone to ask “is this offer reasonable?”, “how do I respond without scaring them off?” or “what do these conditions actually mean?”.

How our team can help

• Talk through an offer before you respond. Price, settlement terms, conditions, inclusions and timeframe all matter. Our team has seen thousands of private sales and can tell you what is normal and what is worth pushing back on.
• Work out your strategy. When to counter, when to hold, when a buyer is testing you and when they are at their limit.
• Understand the paperwork. Once you agree terms, the contract and conditions go through your conveyancer or solicitor. We can explain what happens next so nothing catches you out.

Support is included with every PropertyNow listing. There is no limit on how often you can call, and you will always speak to an Australian-based, licensed team member rather than a chatbot.
