tonja demoff



When you meet me, if your first and immediate impression is, "Tonja certainly doesn't sugar coat much of anything," I will compliment you for being an excellent character judge and personality analyst. Camouflaging or bending the truth has never been my approach, simply because I don't believe that adding a sweetener profits you in any way, manner or form. And I am certain that sugar coating the truth serves neither me nor the planet.



Instead, I… Continue

5 Tips to help investors win the negotiating war over sellers

negotiaton



Negotiating in real estate is a mental and emotional game. The outcome of negotiating over property usually boils down to both parties being dependent on their emotional strengths and downplaying their vulnerabilities.

What type of real estate investor are you?

type-of-investor
