Also, below not meant to be gender specific, just easier to read.<\/p>\n<p>I find it so interesting that during a multi-million dollar negotiation, a lifestyle Buyer (opposed to an investment Buyer) and a Seller will draw a line in the sand when they are within low single digit percentages of each others&#8217; prices and not be willing to bridge the gap (believe it or not, I see this all the time).  The Buyer&#8217;s position baffles me more than the Seller&#8217;s because the Seller could 1) be somewhat indifferent about selling (you pay my price, I&#8217;ll sell) or 2) need a certain net number or the sale is not worth it for him.  The Buyer on the other hand is looking at the property as a lifestyle property for her that she will use and enjoy for years to come.  So, the Buyer thinks she is maybe overpaying 2-5% now?  Is that really significant over the long-run?  Is that really worth her torturing herself with having to find a rental that meets her needs for the next season when she has the right property lined up to buy?  I don&#8217;t think so, but then again, the buyers have the money for a reason&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before I begin, please know that I welcome and love all buyers.
