6. Be prepared to negotiate
Always be prepared for a negotiation, be careful because some buyers can trick you into lowering the price with a flick of tongue. Stay calm at all times, know the minimum price that you are willing to accept and by all means don’t let it get lower.
Remember that negotiations are mind games, both parties aim to make the deal better for them, of course the buyer aims to get more and pay less.
A bad negotiation usually leads to a scenario wherein one party wins and the other loses. A good balanced one makes it a WIN/WIN situation for both parties.

5. Be security conscious
Always be on your guard, there are a lot of unscrupulous people lurking around the web. There are many prank buyers who trick people by pretending they are buyers who are interested in your property.
It is advisable not to display much personal information on the net, just provide the necessary information for the viewers.
In meeting people, never come alone and always bring someone with you. Since you are the seller, you have the privilege of deciding where the meeting place will be. Never let your guard down because even though they are prospect buyers, they are still strangers.

Leaving a will is probably one of the most sensible task to do “before you leave earth”. Your will defines how you would like your assets used after your life. It is just too sad that this task is often overlooked by most people. If a person dies without a valid will, your investments and assets will be frozen until someone is appointed to take charge of your estate based on the Law of Intestacy. You won’t have legal jurisdiction on who handles and how your assets are divided and used. It is imperative that you sit down with a lawyer now so that loved ones are left with “your orders” and live cordially themselves.
