Receiving an offer is only the beginning of the deal-making process.
Whether youโre selling or renting, how you handle negotiations can make the difference between an average outcome and the best possible result.
At Citizenz Properties LTD, we help property owners not just accept offers โ but negotiate deals that work in their favour. Hereโs how to handle offers like a true professional.
๐ 1. Stay Calm and Objective
โ
View every offer as an opening move โ not the final number.
โ
Keep emotions in check and focus on your goals.
๐ฐ 2. Know Your Numbers
Before negotiating:
โ
Set your minimum acceptable price
โ
Establish your ideal price
โ
Understand the current market value
This gives you a clear framework for decision-making.
๐ก 3. Understand the Buyer or Tenantโs Motivation
Is the buyer:
A cash buyer?
A first-time buyer with no chain?
Someone needing a quick move?
The more motivated they are, the stronger your position.
๐ 4. Be Professional and Responsive
โ
Reply promptly to offers
โ
Keep communication clear and friendly
โ
Show willingness to negotiate without appearing desperate
๐ 5. Counteroffer Strategically
โ
Donโt reject low offers outright โ always counter.
โ
Consider offering flexible terms to maintain value (like including certain appliances or flexible move-in dates).
๐ฅ 6. Work With an Experienced Negotiator
Professional agents:
โ
Understand buyer psychology
โ
Know when to hold firm and when to compromise
โ
Prevent deals from collapsing at the final hurdle
