Hey Shawn,

First conversations with the owners defiantly have to be about their house.
"Mr Seller, tell me about your house ? "
Mr seller, how long have you lived in it ?
Mr seller from a scale of 1 to 10 can I eat of the floor ? Or your house needs a floor ?
Try not to mention a price for the deal, let them do it.
