Seller: Hello, are you interested in leasing my apartment?
Buyer: Yes.  I would like to know something about it.  What's the sq ft and how many bedrooms?
Seller: sure.  1 bdrm, 1 bath approx. 65 sq ft
Buyer: 65 sq ft?  Is it more like a studio?
Seller: sorry...that s/h been 565.  This is an excellent apartment complex.  Too many amenities to list but I will guarantee you would find everything you are looking for here.
Buyer: The price is a little high for me?  Would you be willing to come down?
Seller: I understand.  I can come down a little but I will not be able to honor the $500 off move in.  What price range did you have in mind?
Buyer: $1500.  Of course, if utilities are covered and there is a gym and a pool, I could go a bit higher.
Seller: Well, we have 2 pools, a beautifully lit tennis court, and fitness center and free wi-fi in the common area.  The apartment has a/c, central heat, private patios or balconies with views of the East Bay hills.  Location is ideal - close to local shopping and dining and easy commute to local business centers and the BART station.  I can accept $2000
Buyer: You have me convinced.  I will go $2000.
Seller: Great.  Can you stop over this evening and sign a lease?
