Motivated Seller/ Dinner??

Question

Has anyone ever been invited to dinner to discuss a property with an motivated seller? Honestly the only thing left for us to do is sign the PSA. Should I try negotiating down more for a bigger spread or settle?

@Kevin Harrison Agreed, the seller and the property are in another city.  The couple planned on being in my city to bring the PSA and decided we should do dinner as well. I'm comfortable with the spread I currently have I'm basicially just trying to close my first deal! By any means...

Joe, once you have it under contract, let me know. I'm pretty sure that I can get you to an end buyer. I have more buyers than I do inventory. Just hit me up and let's close your first deal!

Thats half the battle I still have to get my end buyer... I plan on giving them earnest money lol.  Thanks in advance

Well then Congrats! This should be a happy dinner for everyone then. The sellers are getting what they want and you are getting what you want. If it is truly a good deal then go ahead and pay for dinner too (within reason) or at least and appetizer and a nice bottle of wine.

I would feel uncomfortable doing a dinner with them unless it was in a public place. Last thing you need is to be at a dinner at their house when they get upset about something. It makes it a little harder to just walk out. As far as negotiating goes, you do what you feel comfortable with. I would try to make this a win win for everybody, you don't need to squeeze them for every red cent.
