Encounters between sellers and buyers are discouraged. Much better to
leave all the conversations and negotiations to the agents.
But when you walk past a property a dozen times a week (obsessed!) you’re bound to bump into the owner. And so it was that, a few days after we had our offer accepted, my husband started shooting the breeze with the owner. He described our plans, including our intent to have his mother move in with us in the long run.
The owner – who two weeks earlier didn’t even want to entertain our not-all-cash offer – was so pleased about all of this he decided to give us his golf cart. That's right, we're getting a golf cart along with the house. Our realtor tells us this is not common.
My husband is pleased as punch, but is now banned from any further interactions. This one ended well, but who knows what would happen next time.

I guess the golf cart will enable me to offer coaching advice while accompanying your daily jogging regime. Are g-carts allowed on the Strand??
