Whether you're buying or selling a home, real estate is one of the largest financial decisions you'll ever make. The difference between an average outcome and a great one often comes down to one thing:

Negotiation.

At Zitro Real Estate Services, we believe experience and strong negotiating skills aren’t optional — they’re essential.

The Market Has Changed — Strategy Wins

In today’s market in Sacramento and the surrounding areas, conditions are constantly shifting:

• Homes may sit longer than expected

• Buyers are negotiating credits and price reductions

• Interest rates affect affordability

• Inspections can uncover costly surprises

This isn’t a market where you “just put it on MLS” or “just submit an offer.”

It’s a market where strategy and negotiation make the difference.

For Sellers: Negotiation Protects Your Bottom Line

Many sellers think negotiation only happens at the purchase price. In reality, it happens throughout the entire transaction.

An experienced Realtor negotiates:

• The initial list price strategy

• Offer terms and contingencies

• Repair requests after inspections

• Appraisal challenges

• Buyer concessions

• Timeline flexibility

Without strong representation, sellers can unknowingly give up thousands of dollars in unnecessary credits or price reductions.

A skilled negotiator knows:

• When to push back

• When to compromise

• How to create leverage

• How to keep deals together without sacrificing value

The goal isn’t just to sell your home — it’s to sell it on the best possible terms.

For Buyers: Negotiation Can Save You Tens of Thousands

Buyers often assume the listing price is the final price. That’s rarely the case.

A strong buyer’s agent negotiates:

• Purchase price

• Closing cost credits

• Repair credits

• Seller-paid rate buy-downs

• Personal property inclusions

• Contingency protections

In many cases, skilled negotiation can mean:

• Lower out-of-pocket costs

• Immediate equity

• Reduced financial stress at closing

The right Realtor doesn’t just help you get into contract — they help you win the deal the right way.

Experience Brings Confidence Under Pressure

Real estate transactions can be emotional and complex.

• Inspections uncover problems

• Appraisals come in low

• Buyers get nervous

• Sellers feel pressured

An experienced Realtor has seen these scenarios before and knows how to navigate them calmly and strategically.

Experience allows your agent to:

• Anticipate problems before they happen

• Structure offers intelligently

• Advise you with confidence

• Keep deals from falling apart

That kind of guidance is hard to put a price on.

It’s Not Just About Getting a Deal — It’s About Getting the Right Deal

There’s a big difference between:

• An agent who just wants to close

• And an agent who fights for your best outcome

At Zitro Real Estate Services, we focus on:

• Market knowledge

• Clear communication

• Strategic pricing

• Strong contract management

• Skilled negotiation from start to finish

Whether you're buying your first home or selling a property you've owned for decades, representation matters.
