Negotiating Prices for Sequim Real Estate and Port Angeles Real Estate

Buying or selling Sequim real estate or Port Angeles real estate? How you negotiate can mean $10,000 more or less in your pocket when the dust settles. Imagine two card players. One has spent a lifetime learning how to play cards, has become an expert on mathematics and statistical calculations, on human behavior and psychology, and has studied and practiced for decades. The other is a school teacher, a good and honest person, who has taught 3rd grade for 22 years, but has never played cards, and has had no interest in the technical skills required to be a good card player.

Both enter a national card playing tournament. Who would you bet on? Who would win the majority of card games? So why would anyone with virtually no experience negotiating the purchase or sale of expensive houses, gamble when they buy or sell their own house? One might argue, "Well, I've sold two houses in my life." Buying or selling one or two houses does not a lifetime of experience make.

Don't lose money negotiating your hard earned investment. If I seem passionate about this subject, it is because I am. I've seen people lose a lot of money simply because they assumed they could do what it has taken others a lifetime to learn. Assuming is gambling.
