Seller: hi there, are you interested in the place?
Buyer: I am! But to be honest it is quite a bit over my budgeted price. With the current price difference I was even hesitant to contact you but I was hoping that you might have some wiggle room. 
Seller: I am open to hearing offers.
Buyer: I wish I could, but I just can't get over $1600.
Seller: Oh wow that is really low. if you can come up to 2500 it is yours. This is a very popular area and a great vacation rental.
Buyer: I agree, and it is gorgeous! If I could get up there I would. Unfortunately my hands are so very tied! What about a trade for work? I'll pay $1700 but will repaint the interior of the house for you. To the colors of your choosing of course!
Seller: It is not in need of any paint or work, sorry. you are not going to find any better deal out there for this area or time. I coudl waive the animal deposit if you have one, but $2500 is already a thousand off asking price.
Buyer: Yes. I agree. It's a great price. I wish I had wiggle room. But $1750 is the most I have. Could we do $2000 and you retain the right to rent out the cowboy cabin for more money? Maybe to make up the difference? Unfortunately that's the last offer I can do.
Seller: alright , that seems fair to both of us.
