Buyer: I am interested in this property.  Are there neighbors close by?
Seller: There are some neighbors yes, but the location feels incredibly secluded given the surrounding city.
Buyer: Would you be able to come down in cost?
Seller: Potentially.  I've always hated this carpet my wife chose to put in.  I'd come down a bit just to say that it was because of the carpeting.
Buyer: Ok.  I would be a great tenant.  I could offer $2000.
Seller: I can't go nearly that low.  This property is the upper echelon of homes in this area.  I could accept $3700 though.
Buyer: Any extra perks you can throw in?  Like paid utilities? Furniture?
Seller: I can't offer to pay your utilities because there's no telling what that cost will be.  However, the home could easily be equipped with solar panels.  Also, it's equipped with a complete set of furnishings and appliances, though I expect you will want to bring at least some of your own.
Buyer: Ok.  I can move in as soon as you are ready if you can bring the payment to $3500.
Seller: $3600 and you've got a deal.
Buyer: deal
