NEGOTIATING
What skills of yours are most developed? Unless you are an incredibly unique individual, your answer will relate to the skills you have practices most. First will probably be work-related skills, since you are practicing 40 hours a week at least. Next would be your hobbies.
Real estate agents negotiate for every client they work with, month after month, year after year. They know every factor that influences home values, every pressure point that is likely to deliver a response. You, on the other hand, are new to this. When you go to negotiate with the seller’s agent, you should not expect to come out the winner.
