Being First in a Seller's Mind Without Saying a Word

If you're a real estate investor, just starting out or experienced already, you're aware of how hard it is to bargain with sellers for a steep discount. However, when trying to win deals Nova City Peshawar Plots and negotiate a fixed price with a seller the majority of times, you say very little. Let me clarify what I'm talking about here by telling a story

When I first started the guitar believed the concept all wrong...

I've always had "ME" in mind. Meaning, I would always try to be the best version of myself. Try to play fancy sweeps, solos and complicated chords that were never required... believing the idea that I played "good guitar" playing when it was actually not:

I'm not very good at these things, but I was never good
It doesn't matter if you sweep within the Aeolian mode (not me saying I'm capable of... I don't know what I mentioned, just know)

Today, I'm a completely different guitarist. I pick up the guitar about twice per year (to participate in two events within the Chino Portuguese community). I don't play much. When I play the presence of crowds I play very simple stuff to accompany the dancers or the singers.

No one notices me because I'm not trying to wail on my Spanish classical guitar (which I'm not going to attempt or care about doing)

Instead I'm there to help the singer or dancer shine.

That's the job of the musician.

The same applies to negotiators.

I'm not the best listener. Sometimes, I talk over sellers (I've received a message from a seller telling me that I'm a bit loud [ouch!I'm not a good listener.)

It brings back memories of what an old school (very accomplished) investor from my area once said about negotiation "You ask the question, then you shut up and listen".

You make the seller feel like they are considered the highest priority in the group (basic communications skills that every person should master)

You also don't want the seller to feel like you are inferior to them. This is why some don't have their financial calculator in front them.

Anyway, these basic skills of communication should be taught at school but they're not. These days, children are emerging in"ME," or the "ME" syndrome and don't know how to capture the attention of customers/sellers (I am in the same boat).

It's easy to say, "yeah, OK, I will make sure to not talk so much to the seller" However, when you're in a rush of the moment, and you're not paying attention, you're absorbed in trying to convince the seller, you keep looking for the next thing you're going be able to say to them that will delight them with your vast insight.

It takes time and dedication to get this to happen. It's hard. I guarantee it. You'd like to be one who shines and feel at ease about your self. But getting deals more often is a better feeling. You want to make the seller feel like what Dale Carnegie describes, in the book "How to win friends and influence people", (a essential read for negotiators and salespeople), "Gee, I don't know why, but I really like that guy "... and the only thing you did was ask genuinely interested question on the guy.

Seller negotiation takes some salesmanship in order to purchase a house at discounts. But, it's not an extravagant show to put on. It's about getting the salesperson to answer questions, have a lengthy conversation with you, find a solution by themselves (so they feel great about themselves) )... to feel good about themselves) and, at the end , they'll will shine and instantly become remembered, without having to say too much.

The ebook "Guide to Flipping Mobile Home" Also provides other examples of imaginative negotiation (even an example of an experienced real estate investor who was able to trade a truck for houses).
