Seller: hi, how are you today?
Buyer: Hi. I'm interested in your apartment but 2600 seems extremely overpriced for 2 bedrooms. I was hoping to pay around 1000 a month...
Seller: Well, I can assure you that you will not find anything for 1000 a month anywhere close to Berkeley. But, I may be able to help you save a bit every month. Are you interested in an 18 month lease?
Buyer: Yes, I would be willing to sign a long lease, and I have a good job. How much are you thinking then? 1200?
Seller: Okay. We do have a special going right now that if you come in tomorrow morning we can waive your deposit (first and last months rent, about 5000) and you wil be pro rated for rent for this month. Monthly your payment will be 1800 a month but, with saving 5000 up front it is very worth it. Location is spectacular and there is a fitness center on site. All utilities including cable are included.
Buyer: I guess since the utilities are included you are offering a fair price, and that is right in the middle of what you are asking and what I wanted to pay, so I would say you have a deal.
