You are trying to influence an outcome (get an appointment to view/value the home) not just make conversation.

Make a daily appointment with yourself to create an irrevokable learning habit.

Should I confirm the appointment with him?

(a) If the owner's interest in the premises is terminated by sale, assignment, death, appointment of a receiver, bankruptcy, or otherwise, the new owner is liable for the return of security deposits according to this subchapter from the date title to the premises is acquired.

My plan is to set open house showings 1 or 2 days a week and not waste time with appointments.

Title company would need to see  Letters of Administration from the daughter proving she has legal authority sell the property.Make your offer Subject To daughter being appointed by the court as Personal Representative of the Jane/John Doe estate. 

If you hire it out time is not an issue but can be costly.Marketing/Showing is time consuming unless you work around YOUR schedule and not everyone else...set appointments on Sunday from 2-3...don't go around tailoring your schedule for 6 PM on Monday for Joe...3 PM on Wednesday for Lisa...most won't show up anyways and those that do are only killing an hour of YOUR time.One thing that you missed is just the general emails/calls/texts that you will consistently get from tenants...best way is to again work on YOUR schedule and not theirs...accept inquiries between business hours and leave after hours for emergencies only.Best of luck...PM me with any questions!

May be 6 month initially and change to yearly.I have only once asked for $50 more as I had appointments with 35 other applicants.

Just do what you do now, but when you set up the appointment just tell them someone from your TEAM will be coming over ASAP.I do wonder about the "kitchen table" talk - how that goes remotely...
