The negotiation skills that could save investors thousands

21 SEP 2026 By Robyn Tongol 2 min read Investor Strategy

While spring brings more property activity, knowing how to read a deal and negotiate with confidence could make all the difference for investors looking to buy.

On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Jason Titus, director of Buyers Edge Property, to explore what investors need to know before entering the spring market.

Titus shares the negotiation lessons he has learnt from thousands of property deals, from building rapport with agents to reading vendor motivations, competition, and market conditions.

 
 

The pair discuss why investors need to know a property’s true market value before making an offer, using recent comparable sales to set their anchor and negotiate with confidence.

They also look beyond the headline price, examining how settlement periods, building and pest conditions, and other terms can be used as part of a broader negotiation strategy.
