Hello, I received your e-mail regarding this apartment. 
The Apartment sounds and looks great
Oh, it's wonderful! It's a 5 BR 2 bath large apartment located right near Berkeley. Perfect for university students. all amenities are there in the Ad and I am asking $9495 for a 1 year lease. 
Great. Can i offer you $7,500
Oh, I see I did not set it as serious inquiries only. This is a GREAT apartment in a nice and immaculate area. I'm sorry but for a 1 year lease I will not be able to go that price. But for the right tennant I might be able to go at $9000 for 1 year. 
I wouldn't like to miss the opportunity. Lets cap it at $8,500
