Buying a $1.3M+ Home on the Eastside? Don't Make This Negotiation Mistake

Shopping for a luxury home over $1.3 million in Seattle or on the Eastside? The market has softened, but that doesn't mean buyers have unlimited leverage. In this video, I share how luxury home buyers can negotiate smarter in a softening market, why seller timing matters more than price, and how buyers are losing homes right now by pushing too hard.

You'll learn how seller psychology shifts from week one to week five of a listing, which offer terms give you leverage beyond price, and why closed comps may already be stale. If you're buying in Bellevue, Medina, Kirkland, or Seattle, this is your luxury buyer negotiation playbook.
