There is a lot you can do .

1> Appeal to his greed : Money talks and B.S. walks.

2> Try his intellect: Show him how Compound money vs. simple interest works. Than compare this to the average real estate gain per year. Ask your banker to help if you are not familiar with the calculation or write back for the info from me. It is a little complicated and need graphs to express your point.

3> Look for a weak emotion. He has said that he is saving them for his grandchildren than introduce him to Trust funds in order to provide for their education and future.

4> last resort> attack his manly-hood > Tell him you understand that his wife or daughter will not allow him to sell . And he should say : I am the man of the house and I make the decisions around here!

Selling is fun ,no matter what you are selling , in your case an idea that he is smart and wants to due the right thing and show him how you can help him .

Put your thinking caps on ; he has already told you how to do it; but his words were hidden in context.

All the best , thanks for the question

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm sorry that you did not accept my response. I understand, of course, that it's your prerogative to choose the response that resonates with you. Interesting though as you state that another expert advised you that Money talks...please note that in my response, which was prior to the response given by this particular expert that you speak of, I did mention that you can make a generous offer....However, it is to be noted again, that BY LAW, this owner does not have to relinquish his property to you. Also, a word of caution to you, should this owner be adament about not selling to you after your efforts, and yet you continue to pursue the matter, this could be turned against you as it would be considered harassment, which, of course, is against the law. 

My very best to you.

Bright Blessings.

Peace, Love & Happiness,
