You need to ensure that agent is aware of your interest or concerns in a property. The agent is working for the seller and gets a commision from the sale. Always be courteous but make sure that you ask about anything that you need to know.
You don't need to play it cool, but if you are interested, go home, take some time to be sure of your thoughts then go in with an offer below what you are willing to pay and be prepared to negotiate.
Agents will always favour people without a property to sell, who have a mortgage agreed in principal or who have cash to purchase. |

Hopefully, YOUR agent will advise you to play it cool and keep a poker face. You DO have an agent, right? If you deal strictly with the seller's agent, they are obligated to the seller only, not you! |

Always show a reserved interest as this will let the estate agent know that you are serious,but of course play your cards close to your chest and always offer below the asking price unless you are desperate for the property. |

If you're dealing directly with the seller's agent then it's best to play it cool and try to find out what the seller is willing to accept. If you have an agent representing you, then you need to be up front with him/her and let him know what you are or aren't willing to pay for the property. That way he will be able to negotiate the best deal for you. Don't mess around or play it cool with the person representing you. |

I know it's hard, especially if you are buying a house to live in, but try never to get emotional about property. Decide what that particular property is worth to you, don't be persuaded to spend any more on it and don't be afraid to put in an offer on anything. The worst that can happen is they will say no. However much you love the house always be prepared to walk away from the deal. Buying a house is the biggest investment you will every make, mistakes can be costly. The estate agent is acting for both parties obviously it is in his interest to sell the property for the best price as his commission will be higher. But it isn't a battle, it's a negotiation, do it right and all parties concerned should come out of it happy. |

Let your agent do the negotiations. That's what they do for a living. DO NOT present the offer to the seller's agent yourself. Your agent will do the "dirty work" |

Yes and No. Yes, in that you definitely do want to show a high interest esp. if the property is attractive enought to bring in multiple offers...sometimes if the offer prices are pretty much the same the buyer/agent will go with the person who made the be st/highest impression.
No, in that you never want to seem too keen since this can reduce your leverage.......gotta balance btw the two. |

Stay cool and don't tell them the truth about your budget or what you would be prepared to pay for a property |

It shouldn't matter too much. Ultimately they want you to buy somewhere so that they make their commission and so they'll probably fight your corner. At the same time, the more they sell a place for, the more commission they get. You unfortunately have to trust them, but keep your cards close to your chest! |
