How do I avoid making emotional decisions when selling my home?

Calculate your BATNA and walk-away threshold before listing - when you are calm and rational, not under pressure. During negotiations, defer to your pre-set models rather than reacting emotionally to lowball offers or buyer threats. Remember that the highest nominal bid from an emotionally volatile buyer carries more execution risk than a measured, clean offer from a disciplined one.
