Seller: Hi there.  Thanks for coming to check out the apartment.  How are you doing today?
Buyer: Hi! I'm interested in your apartment for rent. Is it still available?
Seller: It sure is!  It's a 3 bedroom apartment near West Oak in San Francisco.  It's about ten minutes from the Bay Bridge.  The place is very nice.  I can tell you about a couple features if you'd like?
Buyer: From what I've read, It sounds like what I've been looking for! However, I've been to a few others, and the price is a little high for the area.
Seller: The price is a little bit higher than other places in the area, but this apartment has some things most others don't.  10 feet high ceilings, ceramic tile floors, two skylights and even an off street parking spot.  You know how hard those are to find here.  The deposit is 1,500 firm, but I do have a little bit of wiggle room on the price.  Around what price are you looking for?
Buyer: My budget is around $2600 a month, would that work for you?
Seller: How about we meet in the middle.  How does 2,775 sound?  I think that's a fair price for both of us.
Buyer: I wish I could! I'd love to rent this apartment. It sounds great. Unfortunately, the most I can offer is $2700.
