When Negotiations Stall Over a Baton Rouge Home

Negotiating for a Baton Rouge Home for Sale after an Offer Turndown
When Sellers Won’t Negotiate: 3 Tips for Baton
Rouge Home Buyers
Part of the art of listing a Baton
Rouge home for sale is to highlight features that will catch eyes in a
wide assortment of different groups of prospective buyers. It’s “the more, the
merrier”—and very often the ultimate buyer winds up being unlike the typical prospect
you would have thought most likely.
For prospective buyers searching Baton
Rouge homes for sale, the same is true: the seller of your future dream
home could be anyone. It could be a motivated young professional dealing with
an out-of-town promotion, or an elderly librarian hoping to hand the home off
to a loving family. Or the seller could be a stubborn, angry tyrant, willing to
compromise on nothing. You never know.
Sooooo…what can you do (other than walk away) when you’ve
found the right Baton Rouge home for sale
and made a reasonable offer—only to have it summarily rejected? Perhaps even with
a ‘you don’t understand value’ thrown in for good measure? In short, what’s
left for you to do when a home seller refuses to negotiate? Some ideas:
this is a quiz that will tell you how “Decade Sensitive” you are when it comes to Baton Rouge home décor.
2. Find Common
Ground for an Amicable Deal
Sellers who refuse to budge on their asking price might
respond to other negotiation tactics that allow them to rethink their position
without losing face. Perhaps the seller won’t take a nominally lower offer—but would
be willing to contribute some money to update the home, pay for the first
year’s insurance, or expand the inclusions (perhaps adding in the new
appliances they were planning on taking).
3. Know When to
Move On
Some sellers don’t know how to recognize a good offer—just
as some correctly know that a better one will come if they wait. When buyers
find themselves butting heads with immovable owners, sometimes it’s best to
just walk away and find another suitable home for sale.
For buyers and sellers alike, having an experienced Baton Rouge Realtor®
on your side provides an advantage that’s hard to pass up. It’s why giving me a
call is your strategic first step!
