Winning at Win-Win
Win-Win does not mean equal. This is important to understand in a real estate transaction because our clients don’t necessarily see win-win as a positive. But the agent knows that for at least 30 days we are in a
relationship with the other party and they need to be happy or they will cause trouble for our client. So how does the agent create the feeling of winning for the other party while still promoting the best interest of our client?
That’s what you will learn in this continuing education course, Winning at Win-Win. The agent will discover a step-by-step formula for guiding his/her client through a successful negotiation. The benefit is all parties achieving their goals. .
This course uses a buyer transaction to demonstrate the formula but the knowledge can be applied to any transaction; real estate or other negotiating events.

most buyers will only need one house to live in but may be willing to invest in several investment properties therefore increasing your sales. Besides…wouldn’t this help you with your retirement plans?
