How do I deal with rejection if my offer to purchase fails?

Pick yourself up – dust yourself off and get right back into the game! So your initial offer was rejected for some reason. No problem! - you now start negotiating - remembering not to exceed your predetermined level of financial comfort. If that sounds daunting, don't fret; I’m here to help you.

You may have to offer more money, but you may ask the seller to cover some or all of your closing costs or to make repairs that would not normally be expected. Often, negotiations on price go back and forth several times before a deal is made. Just remember, do not get so caught up in negotiations that you lose sight of what you really want and can afford! I will you keep on track.
