Easy Way to do a Deal

Easy is relative, but once in a while we are involved in deals that are refreshing. In a case this week, we closed on a transaction that worked out very well for both sides. What started out as a typical purchase with delays and a long list of to-do’s ended smoothly because of great communication between buyer and seller.

The buyer and seller talked about their needs, worries, goals, and worked out the details together! Each was open and honest with each other. Both sides were willing to give a little. Both had a goal to get a deal done and were willing to put in the effort.

There were delays with licensing, banking, landlord, and legal efforts but no one was to blame. Sometimes there will be feelings of frustration, but it’s ok. The idea is to work through the hurdles one at a time and keep the other side advised of the progress.
