2nd Conversation with the Seller Tips wanted

[Sandra Habiger]

Last week, I had my first conversation with a seller. He didn’t have a price in mind - told me to “look up what houses are selling for and deduct my repairs”. At the same time, he doesn’t want to show the inside of the boarded up house to me until we talk money.

He wants to meet for coffee and talk more.

I did a market analysis, I got some contractors to give me some estimates based on what the seller told me is needed (and what I saw from the outside) and I have an amount in mind that i want to offer him.

How do I approach the conversation? Should I just tell him my offer? What are your tips?
