"The current owners removed a number of walls and used soft, neutral tones to create a very spacious, open concept."

"Hi, come on in to our impressively well-constructed, picture-book colonial home, ideally located on a quiet tree-lined street among the area's finest residences."

"First time buyers have always been my favorite clients."

'I'm just sayin', maybe we should look for another real estate agent!'

'This is my dream house alright, but in my dream it was about half this price.'

I'm afraid your loan will be stuck in underwriting until you've each had a full panic attack.'

"They're willing to throw in their kidneys."

'Can we call a realtor now?!'

'And this is the sunken living room.'

'And in addition to a great room, this home has a cool room,super duper room and a totally awesome room.'

For Sale, just to find the true value.

"Three bedrooms, living room, dining room, and a little room to negotiate."

"Great location, new roof, central air, underground storage tanks full of toxic waste, double garage, ceramic tile?"

'Ready?!'

'And this is the walk-in fireplace... I'd be careful with that.'

"Bad news- that's just for the lawn."

'I think we should make an offer on this house, what do you think?'

What the Buyer and Seller Think.

'No, it's not your dream house. It's your wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee house.'

"Well, if that's your only concern, I suggest you simply make an offer conditional upon the removal of all monsters."

"Nice, but it's still a fish bowl. We'd like something with a little more privacy."

'And if you look to your left between the condos and the ABD store, you can see the ocean.'

'I'm presuming by the amount of rent you're asking for, it includes a full-time butler, maid and gardening staff!'

"Good news, they accepted your offer!"

"Lean, What Lean?"

"We'll take it."

'Tell him we'll pay his asking price if the goose stays.'

'It looked a lot bigger in the photos.'

'What, you wanted to see something in the one fifty range, didn't you?'

I hear the present owners are splitting up. Four fireplaces and a wine cellar. Better act quick, before they make up.

'Something in brick.'

"Wow . . . We could really fill this room with uncomfortable silences."
