“So introduce yourself as someone who is considering buying in the neighborhood (don’t lie about moving in if you don’t plan to!) and then ask some simple questions such as:”
J. Scott, The Book on Negotiating Real Estate: Expert Strategies for Getting the Best Deals When Buying & Selling Investment Property

“Avoid negotiating over text message or email. If the other party wants to ask for a concession, make them ask you face-to-face, or at least over the phone. It’s easy to ask for things in writing—don’t make it easy for the other party to ask for concessions! Don’t”
