Found a gem while driving for dollars, what do I do next?

Hi! I was driving for dollars today in a neighborhood in the Bay Area that is pretty expensive and well kept so when I saw the shape this property was in, I was shocked. I did some research and found that a man in his 80s lives in the property by himself. He has children but it looks like they're all out of state. What's your advice in how I should approach this situation? I'm interested in reaching out to see if he's willing to sell but I want to navigate that conversation carefully and know what to offer him so that it's a fair deal for both parties. Any advice is greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance!
