    Richmastery is producing an exciting new book which will be of great interest to all property investors and will address one of the most difficult aspects of investing in property.

    I am a researcher and writer for Richmastery and, having just finished writing the Renovations book which is due out in May, am very excited to be working on this new project for Richmastery – a book about how to successfully and painlessly negotiate property deals (and how to avoid all the pitfalls and to recognise and counterattack all the tricks that can be played along the way).

    Because we are producing a book by investors for investors WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
    We want the book to include every successful real estate negotiating tip and strategy known to man, with the aim of sharing and providing a great wealth of knowledge and thus make buying property easier for everyone – after all, the negotiation is what makes or breaks a deal, and it can be somewhat challenging (in fact it can feel like a veritable minefield!).

    We’d love to hear about any of YOUR tips for negotiating successful property deals that you would be prepared to share – anything from clauses you’ve used to make a deal work for you, to tips for dealing with the tricks and games real estate agents play, to strategies you’ve used to make your offer more attractive to a vendor.

    Please email your tips and strategies to me at: [email protected]

    Your input is greatly appreciated, and you will receive credit and acknowledgement in the book for any information you provide.

    I’m looking forward to hearing from you!!

    Hi mandy

    great idea for a book, all the best with it.

    Ahhh….in the immortal words of Todd Russell, “No problem…..how big is your cheque book ??”

    Happy to negotiate our standard flat upfront fee, or would be willing to discuss a constant trailing commission based on gross book sales volumes…..whichever way you prefer to work it……

    Or am I reading your post all wrong…..and you would prefer us to all contribute for gratis in your manuscript that you intend making a profit from…..thereby later being able to denote yourself as a expert in the field and “leading author” with associated marketing spin offs.

    If I am reading it all wrong then I’ll give it a pass thank you, else if you wish to cut a deal – let’s talk.

    Unfortunately dazzling it seems you don’t understand one of the greatest values of the human race: “Good things come to those who give”.

    Maybe you could give up some of your vast knowledge dazzling for the betterment of the investing community, and maybe when you buy and read the book there will be something in there that you will benefit from.

    Just a thought

    In answer to westan’s question, the book will be for both the New Zealand and Australian markets.

    Anyone who contributes a tip that is published will be acknowledged in the book and will recieve a complimentary copy.

    Here’s a tip: Always leave some meat on the bone for the other Fellow (or fellowess) in the negotiation. It makes it easier and you can still get a fantastic deal…
