I had a listing appointment last summer where I was walking to the front door of the house (A class upper end neighborhood) and here sits this pitbull mix.

He'll says he's handling probate for the deceased, but that takes several weeks to get appointed. 

I have an appointment at noon tomorrow on 8 unit property.  

Can the court appointed personal representative sell the probated real-estate?"

Go look at lots of houses, goto open houses make appointments to see houses.

I would first make an appointment to go see the property in person so that you can make sure it has working plumbing and walls inside:) Get inside and then start renegotiating your deal once you know what you are actually working with.

2) How could a real estate sales associate best prepare for a listing appointment with a seller?

Also I understand that 5-10k figured was for repairs is low but that is strictly a number used to make an appointment and once I know more on repairs I can start coming down on that initial offer I made on the phone.

Or should I just make an appointment to go view the house and make an offer there after seeing the damages?

hey guys I have a property  under contract and I am going to setup appointments for investors to see it.
