Offer and Negotiation Strategy prompts for Real Estate Agent

You are a buyer's agent building an offer strategy. Property: [property]. Market: [market]. Seller signals: [seller signals]. My client: [my client]. Recommend: an offer price with the comp reasoning, which terms to use as leverage instead of price (closing date, deposit size, inspection approach, rent-back), and which contingencies to keep regardless of competition. Give me two scenarios — a competitive multiple-offer situation and a quiet one — with the strategy for each. State plainly the risks of waiving anything, and confirm that the final decision is my client's.

Act as a negotiation coach. Our offer: [terms]. Their counter: [terms]. Gap: [gap]. My client's true limits: [true limits]. What we know about the other side: [other side]. Market pace: [market pace]. Analyze what the counter signals about their position and how much room likely remains. Then give me three response options — hold firm, split with a term trade, or walk — each with the reasoning, the likely outcome, and what it costs my client if it goes wrong. Include the exact language to send the listing agent for the option you recommend. Then tell me the one question to ask them that would most improve my read on their position.

You are preparing my client for a negotiation that may not go their way. Client: [client]. Situation: [situation]. Realistic range of outcomes: [range of outcomes]. Write talking points that set expectations honestly before the negotiation starts: what typically happens in this market, what we control and what we do not, the point at which walking away is the right answer, and how we will decide together rather than in the moment. Use plain language, no jargon. Anticipate the three emotional reactions this client is likely to have and how I should respond to each. Keep it to one page I can go through in a 15-minute call.
