🤝 How to Handle Offers and Negotiations Like a Pro
Getting an offer on your property is exciting.
But accepting the first number on the table could mean leaving thousands behind.
At Citizenz Properties LTD, we help sellers and landlords negotiate deals that don’t just close — they maximise value. If you want to feel confident when the offers start rolling in, here’s how to negotiate like a pro.
🔎 1. Don’t Let Emotions Lead
Selling a property can be emotional. But negotiations should be strategic.
✅ Always separate emotional value from market value.
✅ Remember: Buyers will aim low first — it’s just part of the process.
💷 2. Know Your Minimum — But Aim Higher
Before viewings even begin:
✅ Decide your minimum acceptable price
✅ Have a realistic target price in mind
💡 This helps you stay focused and prevents being swayed by pushy buyers.
📈 3. Understand the Buyer’s Position
Is the buyer:
A first-time buyer with no chain?
A cash buyer?
Someone needing a quick move?
✅ The more motivated the buyer, the more room you have to hold firm on price or negotiate favourable terms.
📝 4. Respond Promptly and Professionally
✅ Acknowledge offers quickly — even low ones.
✅ Keep communication clear, polite, and consistent.
Slow responses can frustrate buyers and lead to withdrawn offers.
🎯 5. Always Counteroffer Strategically
Don’t reject an offer outright. Counter with:
✅ A price closer to your target
✅ Potential extras or flexible terms (like faster completion)
Most buyers expect some back-and-forth — it’s your chance to close the gap.
🛡️ 6. Use an Experienced Agent
A skilled negotiator can:
✅ Handle all offers objectively
✅ Push for better terms and prices
✅ Prevent deals from falling through at the final stages
At Citizenz Properties LTD, we’re not just about accepting offers — we’re about getting you the best possible deal.
