Using Seller's Attorney

[Michael Fundaro]

Hi All,

I met with the owner of a potential lead last night.  Unfortunately he doesn't seem motivated enough to make the deal work, but I do have a question about something from our conversation.

He said, "...let me know and I'll have you talk to my attorney."  

So my question is: When negotiating an off-market deal, whether it be for wholesaling, flipping, etc, how do you handle that?  Typically I've been told to buddy up with an attorney that knows your plan and work with them to close the deal.  I'm sure this isn't uncommon, so is there anyone who's closed a deal with the seller's attorney before? If so, how did it go?

Thanks,

Mike
