In other words, don’t be greedy to avoid buyer’s remorse.

Good point.

Thanks.

I tend to agree. Lawsuits aren’t just about the facts; they are about perception of fair play. Did i get screwed? Fighting for every last dime does not leave a good feeling with the buyer. If something does go wrong afterwards they will be more likely to seek revenge.

I just went through negotiations on our ranch after Tandis and her family moved to Auburn, CA. As you know, the real estate market is slow to bad these days, and I was not getting much encouragement from our friend/broker and his dismal market analysis. I decided to handle it myself and try to stick to my guns on price. It worked out very well, but since the couple raises goats and other livestock and wanted more room, we threw in the contiguous ten acre parcel for a little more $(tho’ more than we could probably have gotten selling it by itself in today’s market). The buyers were thrilled, and we are out from under taxes and maintenance. Your article about leaving something on the table made me feel better about having done that. I think we’ll have a better relationship with the buyers, who are also necessarily our neighbors now. Thanks, Dave!
