At the last house we lived in, we were renting. We got a constant stream of real estate agents knocking on our door asking if we’d be willing to let them sell it. So when we got a knock one morning I opened the door and kind of yelled at the person, “WHAT DO YOU WANT?” It was a new neighbor that had moved in a few doors down bringing us a bottle of wine and to let us know they were new to the neighborhood. I apologized for my boorish behavior, but they were apparently too shaken to get over it. Every time I saw them after that we’d wave at each other, but it was clear they wanted nothing to do with me. Until we decided to move out. Then they were very interested in the house and possibly buying it (I assume to flip it). The neighbor stopped me one day and said, “let us know as soon as you can when you’re moving out. We’d like to talk to the owners about buying it.” I never let them know. The entire act of bringing over a bottle of wine was just to try to get on our good side in case they ever wanted some favor from us. Meanwhile, the other neighbors we met there were great, and we still talk to them from time-to-time. I can easily see your neighbors in Kirkland assuming you were either real estate agents, sales people, or trying to convert them to another religion or something like that. Edited for clarity.
