You may not know why that if you focus on trying to connect with that person on a basic behavioral level, they may feel more comfortable towards you and may feel more inclined to purchase your property over another, a seller may not be as in tune with their own behavior as you are. “Because of the feelings, you are willing to ask questions, take a little more risk, not be deterred by a minor roadblock, and ejection handle more assertively.”
