Go Behind Seller's Back?

[Fekel Altimeaux Jr]

So this title is sort of click-baiting because i was looking for a quick response for a consensus.

I have a seller who've I've been going back and forth with since October 28th. It's a nice corner lot home that belongs to a late women's estate ran by her two sons. One son (S1) decided to occupy the home, has addiction problems, and the home has no electricity or running water. I spoke to him by approaching him. He told me he's ready to sell when his brother is ready to sell and he's the executor on the will. I got in contact with the brother (S2) and it's looking like that is NOT the case. At first, he lied and told me there was a third trustee who was halting the sale but after talking to him in December, he said he was waiting 'till his brother got on his feet. Early April, Put a bottle of sanitizing wipes and the door and told S1 to tell his brother. He thanked me and it was a good way in. Contacted him 3 weeks ago and he expressed disdain in his brother and how he was not motivated to leave (even though he says that's what he's waiting for). Told me he hadn't seen him and he'd go over there that weekend. I offered to go speak to his brother on the situation and how i can help by buying the home, he said he'd speak to him first. Waited until this past Sunday and told him i'd be across the street and if he'd like to meet at the home (to coax him into a showing), but he responded slightly aggravated with the last sentence being, "We have nothing to talk about until he leaves."

This home is in disrepair. S1 has a cat and a pet squirrel living with him. The garage is filled with cans and roaches, and the video I was shown has the home a mess. Beer cans, rotting Tostitos salsa on the counter, ALOT of misc trash. S2 said the smell was so unbearable he could only record the 2 minutes of footage he did inside the home and had to wash it off him when he got home. He wants to potentially charge him for backrent and delinquent taxes at closing (said he'd pay 2018 taxes, 2019 delinquent), but also considered fixing it up himself and living in it (how do i get him to think this is a bad idea?).

How can I help him? How can i get them to sell? This has been long-standing and he seems like an enabler. I was thinking about going to speak to S1 again and getting him on board and showing me the home so i can deal with this, but i also don't want to disrespect S2 by doing that. Any advice??

Just curious, is this a satire or do you not know when to spend your time looking for a real lead?
