Once you’re under contract—whether you're buying or selling—a lot starts happening behind the scenes. Inspections, appraisals, negotiations, timelines... and sometimes, unexpected curveballs. That’s why one of the most important things you can do during this phase is stay in open and honest communication with your agent.
We’re your boots on the ground, your voice in the conversation, and your biggest advocate—but we’re not mind readers. 😉
Be Honest About Your Line in the Sand
Is there something you absolutely won’t budge on?
A number you won’t go below as a seller?
A repair request that would make you walk as a buyer?
Tell your agent. Knowing your non-negotiables upfront helps us protect your interests without accidentally shutting down a deal you still want to happen.
Not Everything Is All or Nothing
Just because the other side asks for something—repairs, closing costs, price drops—doesn’t mean it’s a take-it-or-leave-it situation. That’s where your agent shines. We’re trained negotiators, and we might be able to craft a compromise that works for both sides.
But we can only do that if we know where you stand, what you’re willing to give a little on, and what truly matters most to you.
Silence Can Cost You
If you’re frustrated, confused, or second-guessing things—please don’t go quiet.
Speak up! Your agent is in your corner, and it’s a whole lot easier to help you make smart, informed choices when we know what’s going on in your head (and heart).
Bottom Line: Talk to Your Agent
Whether it’s a quick text, a phone call, or an email—we’d much rather hear from you too much than not enough.
We want you to feel empowered, informed, and supported all the way to the closing table.
So go ahead—over communicate. Your future self will thank you.
