Hello there.
Hello I'm interested in this town home. I'm on a limited budget and need to get into a place quickly. Would you being willing to come down to $1200? I'm a very good tenant and have excellent references
I can probably go a bit lower, but I'd like to come closer to $2200 if possible. The place is in great shape, its been renovated and its close to some wonderful places in town. 
How about $1500?
Would 1800 be acceptable to you? This is an amazing place, and in a fabulous area, and this is really going to be a terrific price.
