"The Ronding Team has done it again!"
"Jim Ronding & his team have done it again! He helped me through the search and purchase of my Duluth home in 2004 and now he has helped me to sell it in 2007! I was concerned that I might have difficulty with the sale because of the depressed housing market, but Jim assured me that with the right promotion and sensible pricing my home would sell. He was right!!! Selling a home is stressful time. It helps immensely to have an agent, who is knowledgeable about the market, but beyond that, Jim is calm & reassuring, he makes things happen! I found those attributes to be vital in the important process of selling my home."

Accepting An Offer >Responding to Low Offers
The beginning of negotiations is usually the end of many months of hard work for the buyer or seller. The work ahead requires skill in order to maintain a strong position.
Sellers can lose their advantage if they do not counter an offer that a buyer has made. Even if the opening offer is beneath what the seller feels is reasonable, it is advisable for the seller to respond with a slight reduction from the asking price. The most important component in negotiating is good communication.
The best way to handle a low offer is to counter it with definite terms that are favorable to the seller. A counter offer has two advantages: 1) it keeps the buyer interested, and 2) it moves the negotiation forward and gives the buyer the opportunity to submit another offer that the seller is more likely to prefer.
