Seller: Hello how are you today?
Buyer: Hello, I am doing great. How are you? I am interested in the apartment on Bassett Dr. Is it still available?
Seller: Yes it sure it.
Buyer: Has it been remodeled recently? Is it close to shops?
Seller: Yes we actually just remodeled it this past month so everything is brand new.  The location is perfect, it is a quiet residential neighboorhood but you are just a 5 minute walk from many local shops.
Buyer: Would you be willing to come down on the price at all? Would you take $800?
Seller: I can come down a bit on the price but there is no way that i can cut it in half.  What I can do is reduce the rent by 200 if you are wiling to sign a 2 year lease.
Buyer: I see it's a 10 unit apartment. Would you be willing to come down on the price more if I can offer to do maintenance for the rest of the units?
Seller: Well that is a possibility.  What are your qualifications?
Buyer: I have 10+ years of experience in building maintenance, carpentry and electrical work. I also have references. 
Seller: Ok that sounds good.  These apartments do not need much so I can reduce the rent another 300 making it $1095.  Of course if there are months that we need you to do more work then we can discuss further reduction at that time.
Buyer: That sounds great, Thank you.
