Yeah but I don't know if they want a quick sale.
Nobody wants a slow one with buyers who are hapless. If you present yourself as someone who gets things done who has the money unless they are idiots they will listen.
You can just offer nicely, if they say no it doesn't matter, you can't make them sell it to you. You can come back four weeks later with a reminder and perhaps a little sweetener (don't offer sex).
Yeah but I don't know if they want a quick sale. So I could start low ball and then waste a bunch of our time waiting to see where they stop raising to. But if they're gonna stick to asking price, why bother?
I'm not paying their asking price.
