Although negotiations are often perceived as stressful, they don't have to be if you have the right REALTOR® by your side. Negotiations are often done with representatives on both the buying and selling side, and the better the agent, the better the outcome.

Imagine you're standing in your dream home during a showing. Everything is perfect for you. The right amount of bedrooms and bathrooms, a nice big kitchen, a style that suits you, and any other extras you always hoped for. You want to buy this house, and the thought of losing out on it breaks your heart. You've found The One.

Unfortunately, it happens to be the one for someone else as well, and you're going to be competing in multiple offers.

By working with a HACK&Co Teammate, you will have three advantages over the other competitor.

3 Things You Gain in Negotiations with a HACK&Co Teammate

1. A Strategy for Success

Most people are not trained negotiators, and real estate agents fit into that category as well. In fact, most people don't even see market research on the place they plan to buy before making their initial offer. When getting the best deal could mean thousands of dollars in savings, who do you want on your team?

With a HACK&Co Teammate, you'll be guided through a negotiation strategy designed to target the lowest price the seller will accept, and then decide if you want to buy the house. 

We'll take a look at the location, characteristics, and condition of the property so we can see where this property would fit into the market of other available options. From here, we arrive at a "safe number"-- or the amount that we believe we'd be able to sell the property for. This safe number is an indicator of market value, which is important to know "when to walk away", but our goal in he negotiation is to reveal the lowest amount the seller would accept, which leaves us open to purchasing property below market value.

Big wins come from great plans, and this is how we plan our offer strategy. 

2. Peace of Mind During a Stressful Situation

Without a goal & a plan, negotiation goals become slippery and it leaves buyers in a situation where each counter is a reaction to the emotional temperature of the negotiation.

Having confidence in your advisor during a negotiation starts far before the offer. By providing information about the process of negotiation, and having a clear and logical strategy, HACK&Co Teammates provide better outcomes with less stress and more certainty.

3. The Best Outcome Possible

We can't guarantee that you will absolutely get the house you want for the price you want to pay. However, you will know why you didn't buy that property if it's not available at or below market price.

Without what HACK&Co considers these key elements to a buyer's negotiation, you may be left uncertain as to whether or not you got a good deal, suffer buyer's remorse, or be left with a negative association of a new home.

Our clients have an idea of what success looks like right from the Buyer Consultation, and in negotiations, the feedback is that they feel well coached and well cared for.

“Our first encounter with Taylor, we came prepared with information on the area, the nearby schools, shopping, bus stops etc. He was knowledgeable about the market & honest about values. I have lived in my home for 49 years- I did not have the first clue of what to expect or what the process entailed. Taylor is always available to answer my questions via phone, email or text. His commitment to his clients is outstanding. Taylor and his team have been amazing. From the support staff which includes Emily & Ereda who would let me know when there are showings and following up with other realtors for feedback. We appreciated this. The kindness & customer service of this group has been more than we could ever expect. They have gone above & beyond. Anthony de Sousa even shovelled our walks and brought in the mail. Without any hesitation I would definitely recommend this team. ”
