Negotiations – KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT
Keep your mouth shut. Okay, maybe that sounded mean. What do I mean by that? Well, over the past 16 years, being one of the top agents in Casper, Wyoming, I can’t tell you all of the craziness I have seen in this industry. Make sure you let my team and I do the negotiating for you. You can’t imagine the cats you let out of the bag when you open that beautiful mouth of yours to talk to the buyer or the buyer’s agent. You may think you’re being nice, but you never know that what you may say can actually kill the deal or cost you an enormous amount of money.
Negotiations are another key factor when selling. So, you wanna hire an agent who has had extensive training in negotiations. Hi, I’m Alisha Collins with RE/MAX The Group and the Alisha Collins Real Estate Teams. I’m a certified negotiation expert, which means I’ve been taught more than the average agent when it comes to negotiating.
You wouldn’t believe that certain things matter when negotiating, like types of words that you say, or your tone, or how quickly you answer a question, you wouldn’t know any one of those can drastically affect the outcome of negotiations unless you’ve had extensive training on how to properly negotiate. And the good news is, we have.
Think about this, if the average agent in Casper, Wyoming sells less than 12 homes a year, are they really able to negotiate on your behalf to the best of their ability? We are selling anywhere from 20 to 35 houses per month and I’ve personally sold over 1,500 homes, so negotiating and market knowledge is one of my specialties. And it assures that we can best serve and negotiate on behalf of you.
It’s scary to think that someone with such little experience can be negotiating on your largest investment. Bottom line, you’ve got to be careful. Not all agents are created equal. Just because your brother’s sister’s aunt got her real estate license a year ago and is going to be discounting their commission by a percent or two, watch out! That one percent savings that you think you are getting can cost you thousands and thousands of dollars due to the lack of experience, knowledge, and know-how.
It’s kind of like that awesome thing, I’ll let you fill in the blank, that you got at the discount store that seemed like such a great deal at the time, ended up falling apart and costing you so much headache. And that’s just the thing, imagine your home sale falling apart. It’s your most valuable asset. So don’t leave the biggest investment of your entire life in the hands of someone who only sells a few houses a year, even only a few houses a month. Go to an expert. Go to someone who’s going to expose it to the masses, who’s an expert at their game. Who takes their job seriously, who does it full time, and is an experienced negotiator.

Please reach out to us here at the Alisha Collins Real Estate Team so we can guide you through your sale from before the sign goes in your lawn from where we expose your home online to thousands of people all the way until we hand over the keys to the new buyer and help you get into your new home.
