| Don’t be afraid of making a low offer |

| A buyer needs to be aggressive when buying a property. Today’s market gives the buyer a perfect opportunity to do just that. Low interest rates, a huge inventory of properties for sale, and desperate sellers are giving today’s buyers a chance to be aggressive and offer something low. Of course, there are always the issues of being cordial and understanding with the sellers; then again, buying a property should be done with a hard face and a business heart. We have not seen such a favorable buyer’s market in quite sometime, and I doubt we will see it again anytime soon. My opinion is to take advantage of it.Search for properties and be informed about them. Do comparable sales of the area and determine what you would think a good deal would be. The odds of one seller accepting your offer are quite big. At the end of the day if that seller wanted out, you are doing them a favor by purchasing the property from them. It may not be a win-win situation, but as a buyer you have to be aggressive and look out for your best interests. |
