Hopefully you will have your own agent representing you in the purchase, but if you are using the listing agent, who is working for the seller, make a point of asking him or her to keep your discussions and information confidential.

Your real estate agent will advise you on the right offer to make which will depend on several factors: recent sales, the condition of the home in comparison, and how long it has been on the market, which may influence the flexibility of the seller.
