Seller: Hi
Buyer: Hi.. I am really interested in your North Fremont home. It is a convenient location for me. The price, however, is higher than the surrounding homes in the area. I would like to negotiate the prive with you.
Seller: I'm willing to negotiate.
Buyer: Great. Unlike most tenants who may party which can lead to damages. I am a solitary homebody. I do not smoke, party or have parties. I also am a fanatical clean freak and I love maintaining the grounds. I also do not have an pets. I would be willing to keep the grounds immaculate for a reduced rent rate.
Seller: If you're willing to keep the grounds immaculate, I'd be willing to go down to 2800 dollars per month.
Buyer: That is still more than I can afford. I am trying to save in order to hopefully buy my own house. I will tend to the grounds weekly and I can install the carpet myself. I can pay $2000 a month.
Seller: I'm sorry, that is too low for a rental in this area. 2500 is my final offer.
Buyer: Would you consider $2100.
Seller: No, sorry. $2500 is as low as I can go.
Buyer: I'm sorry .. That is just more than I can afford.
Seller: I'm sorry too, but $2100 is too low for me. If you can't afford $2500 then unfortunately I don't think we can negotiate.
Buyer: Can we meet in the middle at $2300. I may be able to cut back on some expenses.
Seller: No, I'm sorry.
