[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure ask all of them. The answers to the first two will likely be lies. The answer to the third might not be a lie but it will be an affirmative answer (because they know that’s what you want to hear) and there won’t be any basis for the agent to give you that answer. But it’s fun to watch agents lie, to dissect their lies, and to try to figure out what truth their lie is trying to conceal, so I would ask the questions also.

By the way, if you want to know why people might be selling, look up property records, find their names, and google to learn as much as you can about them. [/quote]

What does that info really do for the OP? If the house is being sold after 2-3 years that might be a red flag, but if the owners have had the house for 5-10+ years there are tons of reasons they might be selling. Now if one of them had been murdered in the house that might be relevant info, but if they are moving out of the area, or downsizing, or getting divorced, or whatever, that doesn't seem like that should influence OPs decision.
