💬 Secrets to Negotiating Top Offers on Your Property
Getting an offer is exciting — but getting the right offer is where the real skill comes in.
Selling your home or investment property isn’t just about putting it on the market. It’s about maximising its value, knowing how to position it, and most importantly, how to negotiate like a pro.
At Citizenz Properties LTD, we help homeowners and landlords get stronger offers every single day. Want to know the strategies we use? Here’s your insider guide to negotiating top offers on your property.
🧠 1. Know Your Worth — and Your Wiggle Room
You can’t negotiate confidently if you don’t know your numbers. Before you list:
Get a proper market appraisal
Understand your bottom line
Identify what value-add features justify a higher asking price
✅ Pro Tip: Don’t just accept the first offer that comes in — it’s often a test!
🧩 2. Create Competition
Buyers offer more when they know they’re not the only ones interested.
✅ How to do it:
Time your launch well (e.g. early in the week)
Encourage block viewings to build urgency
Market across multiple channels for max exposure
Perceived demand = stronger offers.
🧭 3. Control the Pace of the Negotiation
Don’t rush. If a buyer senses desperation, they’ll lowball. But if you take control — calmly and confidently — you maintain leverage.
✅ Respond strategically: Thank them, acknowledge the offer, and take time to reply thoughtfully.
💬 4. Counteroffer with Confidence
Negotiation isn’t rejection — it’s a conversation.
✅ Tactics that work:
Counter slightly below asking (to keep them in play)
Emphasise the value, not just the price
Offer flexibility on timelines or terms if needed
🛡️ 5. Use a Skilled Negotiator (Like Us)
It’s hard to be objective when it’s your property — especially when emotions or time pressures kick in.

Maximise your sale price

You don’t just need an agent — you need a strategist.
