Home Buyer Tips: Keep everyone sweet

People tend to only want to deal with people they like and it's claimed that some sellers are influenced by whether they like the person who's going to be living in what was their home.

So if several people have put in the same offer they will probably choose the people they felt the best chemistry with.

Estate Agents aren't influenced in the same way - some chance! But even they're human.

If you get into a shouting match with the agent they may well enjoy recommending to the seller that, perhaps it's better to go back to those other people who seem to be a lot less trouble, and who, by complete coincidence (ie when the agent called them), have just confirmed they're still interested...

The agent has power so 'nuff respect. For the full section on Estate Agents click here

Home Buyer Tips: Get things left behind

If you can sweet talk your sellers into leaving those blinds, or even that oldish freezer or dishwasher you could save a lot of money in purchases.

Trouble is if they know you want it, it would be understandable if they try and charge you - during the general money conscious feeding frenzy that some sales become...

Perhaps if you wait till the deal is done, and you're at the stage when you're all thinking about the practicalities of moving, then they may feel you're doing them a favour.

"Hi it's little old me here. How's the packing going? I was wondering if you were thinking of hiring an expensive skip to dispose of anything... Perhaps I can save you the effort."
