I will help you negotiate and secure the best possible price and terms for you. If you don’t find any home in your price range, I will suggest that it’s reasonable to look at homes that are over your maximum price range.
This is to anticipate a potential price drop that could be negotiated. Over my years of experience, I dealt with this kind of situation regularly. It’s very important that you’re available either by phone or in person in the event a counter offer is made on your offer.
