Should I talk to the broker or directly to the business?

Hi,

I recently asked this question:

I’m interested in buying a pub. The asking price is 80,000.
I want to pay the seller 5000 a month directly. No loans e.t.c.
If i agree to pay 10000 over their asking price do you think they will agree? Is this something that happens regularly? Am I just talking complete crap and this is in no way possible.
I’m thinking that we agree terms. I take over and start managing it and pay them back 5000 a month.

My question is, should I negotiate terms through the broker or talk directly to the business with a deal like this?

Same as before any time spend on this question will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.
