Buyer: Good evening.  Hope you are well.  I am interested in an apartment.  I saw the listing, and am wondering if this is a 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartment?
Seller: We have all thee options available right now, although at this time we only have a couple of 3 bedroom apartments. How many bedrooms are you looking for?
Buyer: I would most likely be interested in a two bedroom apartment.  If we could get a unit with a walk-in pantry, I would be willing to offer $2,000 for it.
Seller: Our two bedroom units are priced at $2,300. It includes the heat, water and garbage. These apartments have great floor plans with walk-in pantry and all new appliances. Would you like to come take a tour? 
Buyer: I would love to come take a tour.  I am just concerned that $2,300 might be a little too steep for me to afford right now.  I am a landscaper by trade.  Is there anyway I would be able to provide my landscaping services for Garden Village Apartments in return for getting the apartment at $2,000?  I do really nice work!
Seller: We have a contract with our own landscaping company. We can offer you $100 discount per month if you sign a 12 months lease, providing that your application is approved. I think you will be impressed with our property and all the amenities that we offer.
Buyer: That sounds reasonable.  I will be willing to go for the $2,200 per month, with a 12 month lease.  
Seller: Great! Please let me know when you would like to come take a tour. Also please bring your picture ID and your income verification (2 latest pay stubs or bank statement). Looking forward to seeing you.
Buyer: I can be there this weekend, and will bring the id and income verification.
