So I countered again, even after they said they won't negotiate anymore. 

Do I just only negotiate with the seller themselves?? 

I am  pretty sure that you do pay only a finder´s fee or split of the profit, but on my case is different, I find the property I negotiate the property to the lowest price possible, I have the money hard lender ready  I will manage the rehab and I will sale it.

Most folks don't think about that.My point is that if you want the property then this is a negotiation.

@Lorraine Hadden In 2006, the Louisiana Legislature passed Act 333 which provides that real estate licensees in the State of Louisiana shall use the Statewide Purchase Agreement Form prescribed by the Louisiana Real Estate Commission in making their offer to purchase or sell residential real property.The purpose of the law was to assist real estate licensees, many of whom now have clientele statewide, with a uniform starting contract to begin their negotiations.

For example, he negotiated with the tenant outside the courtroom to give them an extra 2 weeks to move out in return for a payment of $300. 

Why not negotiate a higher rent for 6 months - 1 year with a verbal commitment to lower the rent after they prove they are non-smokers?  

He is simply my assistant, and therefore can show houses to clients - but cannot recommend a price to offer or help with negotiations in any way. 

My Question is how do I go about negotiating this lien down with the county.

I want to find out if my firm's service is something that would be helpful to homeowner associations.My firm, B&W, specializes in negotiating with vendors, including building contractors.
