When the negotiations begin, things can get a little bit uncomfortable. There is a lot of emotion involved in each side of the transaction. The seller wants to sell but has memories associated with the house and also wants to get as much money as they can. The buyer is excited about the idea of owning a new home, but also wants to pay as little as they can. This can become very stressful and challenging.
The buyers may seem unreasonable if they make an offer that is considerably less than the seller is willing to accept. The buyers may become offended by the seller’s attitude.
