As I start my career as a negotiating coach I can tell you Chris Voss and the Black Swan Group has influenced me and my business www.acquiredsalary.com a ton. I really loved his book "Never Split the Difference." Seth Lejeune and "Use Inclusions Strategically" has also influenced me heavily. I am going to look deeper into Keep Your Cards Close, but Try to Stay Nonchalant by John Michael Grafft and Learn the Rudiments of Persuasion by Dr. Robert Cialdini. So thank you for sharing the information. I will let you know my thoughts and conclusions.

In general, which party should shoulder the legal fees ( registration, lawyer's cost..etc). What if the property has a good insurance agreement and is valid on the time of property purchase with a long grace period, will the insurance company accept to change owners' names and maintain its validity?

Hi Bobby -
Thanks for the question. Age is not a class protected by the federal Fair Housing act, but some states (for instance, my state of Michigan) have specific state regulations that add it as a protected class.
Hope this helps!

Additionally: the 1 acre block for sale surrounding me is mostly a parking lot with one large old 4 story building still in good shape with a successful restaurant on the ground floor. My building has a street front but is otherwise surrounded back and sides yet I have a back access easement. I’d love to see our two buildings preserved but I understand that if I hold out the block around me could still get developed; but to a lesser potential. And then my property would never command that price again. My position: there’s no way I’m leaving here if the offers for my property are based solely on land values for the area. I love it here in this very creative space and I couldn’t replicate it again without leaving Seatle. So maybe one question for the experts might be this: how much above past local price per acre sales might I hold out for? I’m genuinely prepared to grow old and die here to see this historic old building preserved. But a suitcase full of money would have to be considered. All advice and perspective appreciated!
