Julie, welcome to today's show.

Thank you.

It's fun to be here, and I'm looking forward to rounding out this series

and then ramping up for our next podcast series. We'll do a little prequel to that as well,

and I've got a quick shout out whenever you're ready. So guys, we're going to be finishing out

the points about how to become a powerful negotiator. I really appreciate the emails and the

feedback we've been getting on this topic. I know it's something that everyone thinks they're an expert at, but actually when you're looking at your number

of contracts, you submit to the number that get accepted or the number of listings, number

offers you get on your listings versus the number that actually get accepted. Maybe your

negotiating skills need to be polished up. Guys in a transitioning changing market, like a lot of you are experiencing, especially

those of you in the upper-end markets, you're going to have to be a lot more creative.

You're going to have to be a lot more, I think, you know, you're going to have to be crafty.

You're going to have to assume that the other agent doesn't necessarily have the skill set to get the deal together,

and at the same time, you're going to have to do it respectfully so you basically don't start,

you know, stomping on their egos to the point where the deal never actually happens.
