The Psychology of Brokers and Sellers

This module is based on chapter 8, “The Psychology of Brokers and Sellers”, from “Real Estate Structural Intelligence”. 8.1 Why real estate negotiations are rarely objective Many people believe that real estate negotiations are mainly based on numbers.

Behind a property often stand: expectations, financial hopes, or personal pressure. And that is exactly why real estate negotiations often take place more psychologically than many people think. Professional investors understand this very well. They analyze not only numbers. But also people. 8.2 The role of the broker Many beginners see brokers either: as opponents Professional investors see brokers much more neutrally.
