Another thing to considered is that they may not to be able to find a house within the next 8-12 months (highly unlikely based on the bidding war going on out there) so waiting maybe the best thing to do? Sell it to them then. If they already bought another, then there will the plenty of people waiting in line for it.
I have sold two houses to someone I don't even know without putting it on the MLS. Last one was the buyer's agent brought this young guy in during the last leg of construction. We were finishing up the wrap around deck, so we talked for about 5 min and he made me an offer without asking his agent. It hit my estimated target price so I sold it to him. I know he has been getting out bid for about 9 months. I did a good thing that day and now live to tell about it. Plus, it was beyond the top of market value for the area. This was Echo Park. I made sure my agent got a piece of the commission. Called her so she can handle the paper work, and of course, Ruby handled escrow. I didn't want the buyer's agent to double end the deal. There's no way I could do that to Alyssa, my selling agent.
