I would like to make a cash offer on my neighbor home but how?

[Robert Collins]

So my Mom inform me, my longtime childhood neighbor just passed away , back on South Carolina. She didn’t have much family except for some nieces & nephews out of state , which I think are the beneficiaries of her estate , I was wondering what would be the best approach in putting a offer on the home ? How long should one wait , & how should I approach it, so I just send a letter , I really don’t know this sounds horrible to even ask, it’s just that this is a property I’ve always wanted, & a opportunity has possibly presented itself , so I’m looking for tips on the best approach without coming off like a episode of American Greed 😬

We waited two weeks after the funeral. Just said, something along the lines of, "Whenever you start talking about what your plans are for the home I'd like to be a part of that conversation. If that's keep/sell/flip, we'd like to help."

They didn't respond and we got it under contract through a wholesaler a couple weeks after that. I'll find out what the wholesaler did different and post some good advice once I know.
