Buyer: Hello I am interested in your listing.
Seller: Hello, great!  we are running a special with 200.00 off.  would you like to put in an application
Buyer: Would that be $200 off for just the first year and then the rate would go up by $200 or more the next year?
Seller: No, the 200 would stay for the length of your lease and then would go up or stay the same based upon rental rates once you re up your lease.  we are also offering 1/2 off security deposit at this time
Buyer: Hmm ok. I notice it says "Hardwood-style" flooring, that means it is laminate right?
Seller: Yes that is correct
Buyer: Are there any amenities like a swimming pool or clubhouse?
Seller: we do offer swimming privileges with rent
Buyer: Ok that all sounds really good. But for those amenities and the location, I'm told the rent really should be closer to the $2000 range so I'm wondering what I'm missing that is making the rate so high even with the small $200 discount...
Seller: The rent in this location is comparable to other apartments in this neighborhood.  We offer all applkiances already built into the home as well as granite countertops, walk in closets, oversized soaking tubs and a spacious area to live with `19ft lofts.  We would be willing to accept 2800.00 for the rent price
Buyer: Well considering there are swimming privileges I think I could afford to go as high as $2750
Seller: That is very reasonable, we accept! welcome to your new home!
