You don't. 

If the seller's attachment to their home exceeds their desire to make money on it at this time then no sale is going to happen. Think about it. If they are truly in love with it, are enjoying their life in that home, and intend to die there then no amount of money is going to separate them from that house. 

Now, if there is some extenuating circumstance that can only be rectified by selling the property, then you might be able to strike a win-win deal. If not move on. The one emotionally attached to the deal is you, not the seller.
