Getting Distressed Homeowner to sell

Chris Roberts
Posted

I've had my eye on a rundown house in a neat neighborhood. The lawn is overgrown and the house needs TLC. I was able to get in touch with the owner a few months ago to see if he wanted to sell it. He gave a price range and I told him that it sounded reasonable and I would like to see the house. The problem is that he ghosted me. My guess is that the he doesn't want to show it because it's full of stuff, needs work, he lives there, whatever but it would be a great home to own. We both seem to be in agreement on what it's worth and he seems to be open to the idea of selling. My question is how would you approach this to get him to sell the house?
