Investigate the offer
Confirm the asking terms, condition, documents and relevant comparable evidence. Understand which matters are negotiable without assuming the owner must accept a discount.
Keep a credible alternative
Compare a different suitable property or the option to wait. Calculate the full commitment before negotiating. The objective is a transaction that fits the brief, not a nominal discount from an unsupported asking price.
