To extend an olive branch there are plenty of bad real estate agents that also push things onto their clients, but those individuals work under a broker who carries a fiduciary duty to their client.

Some areas may have restrictions that could complicate things, particularly around who can provide alcohol and to whom.If wine isn't an option, you could consider alternatives that are still local and personal, like a handcrafted bottle of olive oil from a local farm or even a basket of locally sourced snacks.

Another thing I like to do is go to the Olive Garden or Carrabba's around 2 in the afternoon when they are not very busy and order just a coffee and sit with the contract and read it.

She has only said we need to talk like adults, which I have sent several olive branches.
