However, here is my twist.

@Travis Hargreaves those are big, sweet, gentle giants.

Owner died, now the nephew/executor has presented a questionable sales contract for 30% above comps, I believe to twist my hand. 

So the gentle call from the title company is a nice way for them to release the info, but also keep it quiet....especially if there is more assets in the trust than just this one piece of land.

This can be done kindly and gently, and will like prod the tenant to remember the procedure instead of haphazardly calling for assistance. 

Jones seems like life has taken you on quite a few twists and turns!

There was a recent BP podcast episode (of course I can't remember the number), in which, the guest was an appraiser and they discussed how to gently challenge an appraisal.

I dont care that my RE got me in trouble, but someone across the US coast wants to twist and be malicious due to their agenda?

In my opinion, other than some extremely gentle persuasion tactics, I'd respect her decisions and leave her alone.

When offering a lease signing to the approved applicant, I gently but firmly let them know that I will continue to market and show the unit until we have a signed lease, that way I don't lose other potential renters and it puts a little pressure on them to sign if they're serious.
