Negotiating in Sequim

Tuesday, 02 July 2019 by Chuck Marunde

Negotiating price and the various terms of a real estate transaction is no small matter, and buying things like cars is not the same skill set as buying and negotiating the purchase of a home. In this article, I’ll explain how to avoid making the biggest negotiating mistake of your life. Negotiating Price & Terms

Negotiating Mistakes Kill Deals

Saturday, 10 September 2016 by Chuck Marunde

I’ve seen many negotiating mistakes over the past few decades, but the worst negotiating mistakes actually killed deals entirely. If you’re a buyer, how you negotiate is critical to reaching mutual acceptance, but if you have a seller who does not know how to negotiate in this market, you may have to walk away. Negotiating

Negotiating the Best Price

Sunday, 26 October 2014 by Chuck Marunde

There is much more to negotiating the price on a real estate transaction than meets the eye. Negotiating price and other critically important terms in your transaction is full of traps for the unwary buyer. My father told me when I was only 14 years old, “Never assume you know something you do not. It could cost you

How to Make a Counteroffer

Sunday, 01 July 2012 by Chuck Marunde

Let’s talk about How to Make a Counteroffer.  There is a huge mistake I see sellers making through their agents.  This mistake is as old as real estate, but it’s still popular.  If you’re a buyer who will be making an offer on a home, it might be helpful to know what to do if

Negotiating Price for Adults Only

Saturday, 13 March 2010 by

Negotiating price is a major part of any real estate transaction.  I’ve written elsewhere on this blog about negotiating (Negotiating Price), and the techniques learned in the school of hard knocks over many years.  But today I want to raise a very important aspect of negotiating that very few people think about, and to my

Negotiating Price: Killing the Deal

Sunday, 21 June 2009 by Chuck Marunde

I recently negotiated a transaction that presents some valuable lessons for buyers and sellers who are negotiating to buy or sell a home in Sequim or Port Angeles.   I represented the buyer as a buyer’s agent.   The lessons I have learned in 30 years in real estate are often full of nuances, small

From Los Angeles

It's rare, but once in awhile life provides the perfect collaborator for an important endeavor such as buying your new home. For me that person was Chuck Marunde. His two decade background as a Real Estate Attorney, his prolific career as an author of articles and books on Real Estate and his forthright and moral character made choosing Chuck a no-brainer. Chuck is dedicated, thorough, incredible at the negotiating table, knowledgeable about all local laws & regs but, most importantly, Chuck loves what he does. And what he does is find his client the perfect property. Chuck isn't about making the sale, he's about making the sale that is OPTIMUM for his CLIENT and this makes Chuck a rare bird indeed. I love my new home in Sequim and I am indebted to Chuck for making it happen. Kevin E.

From Seattle

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chuck over the past three years in selling my parent's estate. It was a tough time to sell during the housing recession, but Chuck always kept things on the positive side. With his real estate law background, he offers sound, practical advice. He helps you along with the process using discussions and reason, rather than opinions and speculations. If Chuck doesn’t know the answers, he will get them for you. In several instances, Chuck took the initiative to meet with county officials to get up-to-date facts about zoning and regulations. I was always impressed with his company’s tech savvy communi-cations and internet presence: weekly email updates, blogs, videos, links, Linked-in networking, etc. He is truly pioneering the future of buying & selling real estate. Brian M.

From California

"Andy Romano is a successful motion picture character actor with over 40 years in 'the Biz.' Mr. Romano has a home in beautiful Santa Barbara, California, but he chooses to live most of the time in Sequim, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula in the great Pacific Northwest. Why? In his own words, 'Because it's even more beautiful and surrounded by more beauty in this incredibly peaceful and quiet place. With respect to real estate agents or brokers, well my friend Chuck Marunde, owner of Sequim and Port Angeles Real Estate, is hands down the best there" Andy R.
