REAL ESTATE GUIDE - ALL ANTON COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS - MARCH 15, 2013
The Art of negotiation By DAnA KLosner-WeHner
editorial@antonnews.com Anything worth having is worth negotiating for, according to Karen Morrison, real estate broker at Accents on Real Estate in Port Washington. When buying a home, there are many points to be negotiated. Of course, the price is one large factor. But there are other things that need to be hammered out, such as terms and the move-in/move-out date. Terms are often as important as price, Morrison said. You have to look at where the people who are presenting the offer are coming from and what their situation is. If they are selling a house, that adds another layer to the deal.
Bring up concerns about repairs (including floor finishes) before signing the contract.
