Infolio, Spring Property Update by Lauren Staley.

So, what is the key to success in a buyer’s market?

If you want to make a smart purchase, it boils down to one essential skill: negotiation. While that might sound simple, you need to remember that real estate agents are seasoned negotiators—they do this all day, every day. Their job is to secure the best possible price for the seller, so having strong negotiation skills or employing a professional buyer’s advocate is critical to ensure you're getting the best deal possible.
