Buyer: Hi, is the apartment downtown still available?
Seller: Yes, it is. It's a beautiful apartment and has had a lot of renovations!
Buyer: I can see that from the pictures.  My concern would be the noise level.  I usually work from home and feel the noise especially at night would be a distraction.
Seller: I haven't had any complaints about noise from the current tenants. If you have problems with noise, call me, and I will take care of the problem. I want my tenants to be comfortable and happy!
Buyer: I was speaking on outside of the apartment being that it's downtown.  $1700 is a bit steep for me.  Would you be willing to accept $1190 considering?
Seller: Oh, I see what you meant. I don't think there is that much going on at night in downtown Walnut Creek, but I could be wrong. I could come down a little, but $1190 is a bit low. How about $1400, and I'll pay the utility bills?
Buyer: That's still a little out of my range but how does $1300 sound?
Seller: If you sign a two year lease, I'll do $1300.
Buyer: hmm...I will be in the area for at least a few years so I can sign a 2 yr lease with paid utilities.
Seller: Okay, it's a deal.
Buyer: great!
