Depends on the person).The seller is always the priority, then the buyer, then you.Be in constant contact with the seller and update them of progress always.Show understanding and respect to the seller, be friendly, firm, but never bend over backwards.Explain the contracts and stipulations so they understand what they are getting into

AZUSACaltrans is considering repairing a 4.4-mile closed gap in State Highway 39 in the northern section of the Angeles National Forest, a washed-out portion of highway north of Azusa, closed for 44 years, that blocks local access to ski areas and high-desert communities.Highway 39 runs from downtown Azusa into the Angeles National Forest, taking 3 million to 4 million visitors every year to trails, campgrounds, picnic sites, river bends, Native American sites and off-road vehicle areas.But motorists driving Highway 39, off the 210 Freeway, meet a dead-end about 27 miles north, just beyond Crystal Lake, a camping and recreational area.

If anyone is familiar with the Bend, OR market please feel free to message me in my inbox so we can chat more.

Once you understand that motivated sellers are not "gods" to be chased and worshipped, and bend over backward for, and instead realize that they need YOU, your entire demeanor changes and they obsessively start to chase you.Way too many people think that it is some sort of mission impossible to reach motivated sellers... and they are correct...
