Negotiating
Once you have reached the negotiating stage of home sale, you are now close to your desired goal of selling your home. Negotiations only take place between the home seller and serious prospective homebuyers. Although you may be near the end of selling your home, it is important to remember that negotiating is a vital component to selling your home that is often stressful.
Negotiations encompass a wide array of issues but the most important item on the negotiating agenda for both the prospective homebuyer and home seller is price. The asking price that is listed in real estate listings by the home seller is rarely the price that the home is sold for. Considering the fluctuating nature of local real estate market conditions, a home's market value and appraisal value often changes day to day. Additionally, prospective homebuyers have their own ideas of what the home for sale is really worth. As both the homebuyer's and home seller's goal in negotiating is to obtain the best possible deal at the expense of the other side, negotiating can be difficult. In this section we answer the most frequently asked questions relating to negotiating.
Contingencies

Therefore, it is important for home sellers to accumulate as much knowledge as possible related to contingencies to assist them during the actual negotiation phase of their home sale.
