NEGOTIATING TIPS WHEN PURCHASING To successfully negotiate the purchase of your new property, consider the following tips: 1. Set your limit Pre-plan your finances and budget to determine your upper limit. 2. Research the market Research and inspect as many houses as you can before you make an offer or begin negotiating. 3. Put your game face on Do not give anything away and ensure you remain calm and neutral. Make sure the vendor and / or agent does not know your personal limit & borrowing capacity

Knowledge is handed down to generations Jas Stephens has a history spanning back to 1923 when we were the first agent in the Yarraville area. Over the years, we’ve drawn on that wisdom passed down over four generations, to produce excellent results. The secret to our success is that we treat our customers with the same family values as we run our business – loyalty, integrity and hard work. Throughout the years, one thing has remained the same at Jas Stephens. The customer always comes first. It’s a cliché, but it’s true and it’s what our family still believes.
