The Role of Negotiation Skills in Getting Your Frisco Home Sold

Sep 5, 2025
2 min read

If your Frisco home sat on the market without selling, it may not have been just pricing or marketing that held it back. Often, expired listings fail because of weak negotiation skills at the most critical stage of the process. Strong negotiation can mean the difference between a home that lingers unsold and one that closes quickly at the right price.

Why Negotiation Matters in Real Estate

Buyers Rarely Offer Full Price: Initial offers are often lower, and without skilled negotiation, sellers lose thousands of dollars.
Objections Are Common: From inspection issues to financing concerns, every deal comes with challenges.
Deals Can Fall Apart Easily: Without an experienced negotiator, offers can collapse, leaving a listing to expire.

Common Negotiation Mistakes That Lead to Expired Listings

Lack of Preparation: Sellers without an agent who studies the market and comps go into negotiations blind.
Emotional Decisions: Letting emotions drive responses to offers often scares buyers away.
Inexperience with Counteroffers: Agents without training may leave money on the table or push buyers away.
Failure to Handle Repairs/Concessions: Inspection issues require strategic negotiation to keep deals alive.

The Numbers Behind Negotiation Success

Skilled negotiators can increase seller proceeds by 5–10% on average.
According to NAR, 36% of deals that fail to close fall apart due to negotiation breakdowns over inspections, appraisals, or financing.
Homes represented by REALTORS® with advanced training in negotiation sell faster and for higher prices than those without.
