Framework CEO Featured in Realtor.com Post on Negotiating When Buying a Home

Dec 17 2020

Whether you’re buying your first home or your 11th, there’s one thing we all think about when it comes time to negotiate the deal: Wiggling that pesky price down as much as possible.

Of course, price is important when you’re buying a home. But it’s not the only negotiable part of the sale — there are plenty of other ways to haggle aside from list price.

“In most parts of the country, sellers often have multiple bids right now,” says Danielle Samalin, CEO of Framework Homeownership. “In this market, trying to negotiate a sales price probably won’t get you far.”

If your dream house is already decked out to your liking, it’s totally fair to negotiate on decor, furniture, light fixtures, appliances, or other pieces you love.

“You can ask the seller to leave appliances or furniture that you would otherwise have to buy,” Samalin says.
