Don’t Get Emotional
Too often we lie in bed at night and move our furniture into the home we are bidding on. Don’t fall into this trap. Although it is good to be excited about a home you are about to purchase, it is best to not get emotionally attached since that hinders your negotiation ability. Once you are past the inspection stages, feel free to get as excited as you wish. |
