When it comes to negotiations for buying a home, it's important to remember that negotiation is a process, a means to an end. It is the journey of how we get to the destination, not the destination itself. This doesn't mean losing sight of the destination, but rather paying more attention to how we get there. It's all about the "process".

In the world of working with buyers to help them negotiate a great deal for themselves, the Expert Advisor understands the process better than any AFA and buyers looking to represent themselves in a purchase. He/she uses win-win, straight-line and bottom-line negotiation strategies to get you the best deal.

What's most important to note at this part of the process is that an Expert Advisor always puts client needs before his/her needs during negotiations. The Expert Advisor certainly wants your business, but doesn't need your business. Subsequently, he/she can focus on the matter at hand, which is hetting you the best deal possible.

As a negotiator, an Expert Advisor is able to negotiate the following advantages on your behalf:

· 60 Days with No Payment - With a solid, easy-to-implement strategy, you can move into your new home and not have to make payments for the first 60 days you live there.

· Home Warranty - Get a year's worth of protection on 16 major systems in your home to potentially save you thousands after you buy.

· Seller Paid Closing Costs - Cash is king and the more you keep in your pocket, the better off you'll be. Maximize your cash flow with strategies that get the seller to pay your allowable closing costs for you.

· Negotiation of Repairs - You get excellent customer service from your agent while the specialists working behind the scenes keeps things moving, including negotiating great results for you on your home inspection.

· Repairs that Are Not Financed - Financing repairs when you buy turns hundreds of dollars in expenses into thousands of dollars in expenses over time. Get the repair issues resolved in the least expensive manner possible, all in your favor.

· Walk-Away Leverage - Have the other party deal with sweaty palms and dry mouths because of the fear associated with losing your offer. Walk-away leverage gives you the upper hand in negotiations.

Negotiation is an art and a science that the Expert Advisor has mastered. As a result, you get more savings, better pricing and a deal that you'll want to tell everyone about. The best part is that you'll have fewer headaches associated with your purchase and the peace of mind knowing that you have a top flight negotiator on your side, protecting you along the way.

Representation varies wildly from state to state. Be sure to discuss your options with your Expert Advisor before you begin looking at properties so you have a clear understanding of how you are being represented in the transaction.
