I’ve always enjoyed a good debate, conversation, or negotiation. I started honing my negotiation skills at a very young age, thanks to my mother. She would offer me a cookie and I would counter-offer by asking if I could have four or five. She would say “Why don’t you start with one or two?” In my mind I just got her to double her initial offer! I would often end up with three cookies in exchange for being a happy child, and a promise to eat my dinner. A 300% increase from the initial offer and more than enough to satisfy my desire. Now, I find myself negotiating in so many aspects of my real estate career. It is not just the price of a property for my client nor the time frame it will take to close—the negotiations include: listing agreements, lease terms, contingencies, repairs, inspections, personal property, tax prorations, build-out costs, rent commencement dates, asking price, personal guarantees, and cost-sharing, just to name a few. Over the years, I have learned many traits of a good negotiator and skills to help my clients reach their goals.
