Negotiation strategies that give you the competitive edge

Cohen Handler’s buyers agents can build a negotiation strategy around your unique circumstances. They use knowledge of the market, the property you’re hoping to buy, and their relationships with real estate agents to increase your chances of successfully purchasing the property.

Understanding the nuances of property negotiations, including anything uncovered in the due-diligence process, and matching strategies to the type of sales, such as auction campaigns, expressions of interest and private treaty, allows your buyers agent to secure the property at the right price and terms.

Pre-auction negotiation

If a property is headed to auction it might be a solid strategy to try to purchase the property before it goes to auction, because of their unpredictability.

However, Cohen Handler’s team will assess the interest in the property through their strong relationships with the sales agents. This helps also gauge the vendor’s selling goals. Along side these factors, we assess the market conditions to determine if it is best to let the property’s sale and auction process play out.

On-market negotiation

Most vendors will look to undertake a sales process to find as many potential buyers as possible. Your Buyers Agent will assess whether there is an opportunity to negotiate a purchase before the end of the sales campaign.

Post-auction negotiation

If a property doesn’t sell at auction, vendors will often look to negotiate with the highest bidder and other serious parties.

This stage can take some time, but a Cohen Handler Buyers Agent will work to understand the best strategy to secure the property at the right price and terms.

Off-market negotiation

Trying to secure an off-market property before the vendor decides to test the open market requires an understanding of their motivations and selling goals.

This could be a favourable result for the buyer, dealing with less competition, as opposed to the open market.
