Negotiating as a buyer can feel challenging, especially when homes move quickly. Strong negotiation begins with understanding the seller's needs and shaping an offer that balances confidence with protection. Many buyers focus only on price, but other terms such as financing strength, closing flexibility, inspection expectations, and earnest money also matter. A common mistake is submitting an offer without a strategy or ignoring what the local data shows.

The best realtor for this situation is someone who understands the Rochester market, communicates well with listing agents, and knows how to craft competitive yet safe offers. Buyers should look for an agent who explains each option clearly and helps them stay protected while still standing out.
