Publisher's summary

Want to close more investment deals...and make more money in the process?

When the real estate market gets hot, it’s the investors who know the ins and outs of negotiating with sellers (and with agents, banks, contractors, and other institutions) who will get the deal. And it’s those same investors who will get their properties sold for top dollar and minimal stress!

With almost 1,000 successful deals between them, real estate investors J Scott, Mark Ferguson, and Carol Scott combined real-world experience and the science of negotiation to create an audiobook covering all aspects of the real estate negotiation process - from the first interaction with a buyer or seller to renegotiating the contract after a bad inspection or appraisal.

Containing dozens of true-life stories highlighting how strong negotiation skills can result in more and better deals, this audiobook includes lots of samples of dialogue that will teach you both what to say and how to say it in order to maximize your chances of reaching a profitable deal.

Inside, you'll discover:

• How to uncover and use information to tip negotiating outcomes in your favor
• Strategies for defining optimal first offers and subsequent counteroffers
• Techniques for in-the-trenches negotiating and overcoming objections
• Tips for conquering tactics employed by those on the other side
• Techniques for using concessions to get your deal to the finish line
• The blueprint to renegotiating issues that arise from contract contingencies
• How to overcome the challenges of making and receiving offers through agents
• Strategies to get the best deals when buying properties from banks and the HUD
• And so much more!

Need to supplement with PDF

Rich with information. It would be fantastic if this came with a supplemental PDF like many other Audible titles. Hard to drive/walk and listen because there are so many note-taking opportunities. A PDF with outline and illustrations from the book would be much appreciated!

extremely practical and educational

this book is way better than I thought it was going to be! It is for people who are just starting out and for the ones who have been negotiating for a while. It goes in great detail on simple and advanced strategies to get the very best deal in all situations, whether that be in a traditional transaction, investor transaction, institutional transaction, direct with the seller or negotiated through a agent. This book is a 10 out of 10!
good job 2 Jay! Carol! And Mark!

One of the most information packed two book I’ve ever read!

Mark Ferguson and team did an excellent job of giving chunks of information as well as providing easy to digest examples of how to use it. There’s so much information in this book that I’ll probably read this once every month or so!

A must read for every buyer and seller!

This book explains the negotiating process in a well laid out and detailed manner. I recommend reading 3 times through and combining their methods with Chris Voss' which are in his book, "Never Split The Difference". Negotiating is like a muscle that needs to be constantly worked and built upon. Enjoy the journey!
