For our final episodes of the Negotiation Academy, we’re exploring three common, real-world situations in which many of us find ourselves needing to negotiate—even if we don’t want to. Episodes 9 and 10 will deal with how to bargain with children and how to haggle over your salary. In this week’s installment, we demystify the stressful, often highly emotional world of buying and selling real estate.
Our guests this week are two savvy real estate agents: Melissa Chen, of Evers & Co. Real Estate in Washington, D.C., and Sam DeFranceschi, of Nest Seekers in New York City.
