Bird-dogging + food?

I'm currently knocking on people's doors to make leads and I was wondering if bringing desserts or pastries is too much of a gesture?  To the home owner, I'm just a stranger.  Would it be weird for a total stranger to be giving you chocolate chip cookies, while talking about why you're selling your house?

If we connected with eachother before and we're doing some negotitations today, I would definitely bring some cookies over.  A stranger knocking on my door?  I don't know, what do you guys think?

That is a sweet gesture but the liability is not worth it. Imagine if the potential seller has a food allergy i.e. nuts, eggs, flour etc. I think it would be best to get to know them then take them out for a coffee/diner meeting where they can select their own food item.

Hope this helps you out 👍
