In FSBO, the idea of negotiating may be intimidating. Negotiating skills are something we all possess, but the onus is on negotiating effectively so that neither you nor your buyer looses. Buyers can move away due to the seller’s inflexibility, everything can down hill from there, and truly this should not happen. Sellers should enter into reasonable negotiations.
The best deal is that which both buyer and seller feel like the winners.
Buyers and sellers are not always focused on same points to same degree. For one party price might be more important, and the time to the other. Sometimes negotiation is just to balance things out.
