Nope, they'll be none of that.

No, because I have usually found them defensive and at this stage in my career, they require too much of my energy to convert much less give them a hug.

Don't see many FSBO in my neck of the woods. So yes...I do give them a huge hug when they become visible.

We're usually not that intimate. Wait, I lie - played tennis with one a few days ago and we hugged "hello".
