Seller: Hey there, you're interested in the 1BR in Brentwood?
Buyer: Yes, but there are some important details  you did not mention.  How many parking spaces do we get? And do you allow pets?
Seller: Yup, pets are allowed upon approval, but I'm sure as long as you pick up after them and take care of them we'll be fine in that regard. And then, at the moment, there's plenty of ample parking because we have unsold units. We anticipate there will always be at least two parking spots for you, even during busy season.
Buyer: Well, it's good to hear that you would accept our cat.  And while there is plenty of parking now, we will need at least a spot for each of us.  But how about distance to BART, the transit station? Are you right off Highway 4 or over Willow Pass Road?
Seller: Yup, we're very close to Highway 4, so that's convenient, and then in regards to BART I'm not entirely sure, but I can get back to you, I believe we are, sorry about that.
Buyer: OK, that's good.  It says High Speed Internet Access. Who is the provider and is that included in the rent or do we pay separately?
Seller: We have XFINITY, which is Comcast, and its included in the rent.  Also included in the rent are the appliances such as laundry, washer, dryer, gas stove and range, as well as a fitness center. Seems like a good deal, no?
Buyer: So both water and electricity are included in the rent?  How about garbage?  And is there a separate fee for using the swimming pool?
Seller: Well no, I don't believe any place includes the water and electricity at this price. We'll take care of the garbage and take it out for you, and no, the fee is included for the swimming pool because we have staff that maintain it.
Buyer: Well, that doesn't sound like a bad deal.  I think we will submit an offer for it.
Seller: Thanks for your interest, we'll submit the papers to you promptly.
