Are you preparing an offer on a home in Kalamazoo, Portage, or Texas Township and trying to get the best financial deal from the seller?
Yesterday, a move-up buyer walked into my office after touring a spotless four-bedroom colonial near Westnedge Hill. The home listed at $310,000. They wanted to negotiate $10,000 off the deal to make their overall purchase more affordable.
Their immediate thought was to offer $300,000.
