Negotiation strategy with the agent and the seller

To all forum trolls and know-it-alls who never called here ever, especially to the author of the last post, The draft contract from the notary is on the way. Purchase price house + photovoltaic system 373k Euro (originally 380k Euro without photovoltaic, house assessed at 380k by the building surveyor without photovoltaic) Broker 7800 Euro (originally 19800 Euro) That was a mistake, forum trolls who live on the internet, to ask about haggling and negotiation strategies. Just keep paying diligently without negotiating smartly or even knowing how to do it. But most importantly, go outside among people... Thanks for nothing and have a nice day.

If that should be true, the seller played it better and is probably at least as happy as you here (possibly even including correct spelling), after all, your first offer was 365k, and since you were told he had an interested party who would pay 380k, you increased. If that interested party existed, he would have sold to them, why would he give away 7000 Euros? So they didn’t exist and the seller is a good player ;)

That was a mistake to ask forum trolls who live on the internet about haggling and negotiation strategies.

This is certainly not about haggling, but about your arrogance towards a professional group.

I think hit the nail on the head. The seller pushed the price and you took the bait. If he had been sure to have one, he would have waited another 3.5 weeks and earned €7000 more.

Oh dear.

Supply,
demand,
... and a mysterious appraisal.

In the end, a buyer who believes they have made the bargain of a lifetime and an agent and seller who are quietly laughing to themselves.

Don’t get me wrong, I am also an advocate of having a house professionally assessed so you don’t buy a pig in a poke, but the price is still set by the market, not the appraiser. "Almost like new"... especially when, as a seller, you have to accept a high depreciation.

"Let's say you have a private buyer who pays more and you terminate me, then he is under pressure and that's how I get way more than your last price for you. As bait, I lower the commission, but we’ll sort that out behind the scenes, win-win for both of us."

Congratulations to the seller and real estate agent. Everyone has seen more money ;)
