Is there any way you can find out who the real owner is?

The broker doesn't want to take your offer because he won't make much commission. He'd rather hold out for a bigger offer later on.

Circumvent the broker. Owner may be more likely to take your offer.

I will do that without a blink of eye, but I don't think that's possible. Both the website and the whois redirect to the broker.

I can double check whois history or website history on archive.org but I don't think I will find anything of value.
