In this episode Chris Bruce talks about why educating the seller is the key getting your offers accepted 8/10. Most investors while on the phone or out on an appointment just give the seller their offer and expect for them to accept it. That’s just not how life works unfortunately. You have to lead with value, educate the seller where the market is, the prices, what it takes for them to get their asking price. I’ve found time after time when myself, my acquisition manager, even my students have done this we’ve got more contracts signed. This is the key to negotiation and getting the house at the price you need to get it at in order to make a profit. So on this episode I’m going to teach you step-by-step on how to do this.
