You must do your own homework as well before you start getting into negotiations. Try to locate people who have sold houses in the same neighborhood or locality. Ask them how recent the sale was and what was the commission their agent had settled for. Conduct a mini survey before you determine what amount you would be willing to settle for when it comes to your own agent.
Research a little about your agent’s qualifications before you appoint him. Having a good overview of his track record is a must- it helps you to know what you can expect and the pros and cons of having him do your home sale. Begin the negotiations only once you are thoroughly satisfied with the agent’s credentials.
When you start the real negotiations, adopt a firm and no-nonsense attitude from the very onset. Make it very clear whether you plan to give him commission by percent or as a fixed sum. This aspect of the negotiation would depend on whether your home is appraised at a high or a low price.
Never be too eager to accept anything that the agent asks for. Show skepticism and the fact that you make your own decisions. If he is not ready to come down to your price, let him know that he has other agents in mind who offer the same services at lower costs than him. In negotiations, whether you are on the winning side or not, do not betray your fears and apprehensions to the other party.
