    Inflation? Stagflation? What Happens if Prices Keep Climbing?

    The prevailing thought about the Federal Reserve stimulating the economy with injections of newly printed money, to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic, is that inflation will be temporary.  The Fed has assured us that as production gets back to normal, prices will come down to stabilized levels and this will keep our economic engine humming as it did before the pandemic.  But what if higher labor costs and rising housing expenses are the new normal and don’t come back down?

    Let’s Compromise…The Art of Negotiation

    I’ve always enjoyed a good debate, conversation, or negotiation.  I started honing my negotiation skills at a very young age, thanks to my mother.  She would offer me a cookie and I would counter-offer by asking if I could have four or five.  She would say “Why don’t you start with one or two?”  In my mind I just got her to double her initial offer!  I would often end up with three cookies in exchange for being a happy child, and a promise to eat my dinner.  A 300% increase from the initial offer and more than enough to satisfy my desire. Now, I find myself negotiating in so many aspects of my real estate career.  It is not just the price of a property for my client nor the time frame it will take to close—the negotiations include: listing agreements, lease terms, contingencies, repairs, inspections, personal property, tax prorations, build-out costs, rent commencement dates, asking price, personal guarantees, and cost-sharing, just to name a few.  Over the years, I have learned many traits of a good negotiator and skills to help my clients reach their goals.
