personal information such as your income, the maximum you are able to pay for a down payment or the home, or when you want to move. make sure that your agent knows not to reveal any such information to the seller or his/her agent.also, do not let the seller see how much you want the property. if you appear desperate or overly enthusiastic, the seller then has the stronger bargaining position. when meeting with the seller or listing agent, keep your emotions in check.
