<prompt> Human: My wife and I are about to make an offer on the house were currently renting. Is it wise to tell the owners of the house currently our landlords that were the ones making the offer, or should we stay anonymous behind our realtor? What are the pros and cons here? My wife brought up the point that they might be willing to sell for a little less because they know us, but Im worried about conflicts of interest. Weve kept the house well and even made some landscaping improvements and weve never missed a rent payment, and weve never been particularly needy tenants so our relationship with the owners is alright.The house has been on the market for about 2 and a half weeks, and ours will be the first offer according to their realtor. Weve never intentionally left the place messy for a showing, but the realtor has failed to give us 24 hours notice a couple times and we had to either say no or let them show it without cleaning up first, which could be seen to affect other offers. They also offered to help pay for us to move out so they could sell the place without it being under contract, which we declined.  <response>: There is no conflict of interest. Tell them it is you as it would be a positive in most cases.
