Usage Scenario
Replying to a buyer who has submitted an unacceptably low offer, aiming to negotiate them up without shutting down communication.
Full Prompt
Act as an expert negotiator in the NZ property market. Draft an email to a buyer who has just submitted a written offer significantly below the vendor's expectations. Thank them for putting it on paper, but firmly explain that the vendor has rejected it. Provide a brief justification using recent local sales data (mentioning REINZ statistics). Keep the door open for a counter-offer by asking what specific features (like the school zone or the recent renovations) they value most. Maintain a professional tone aligned with the REAA 2008, ensuring you act in the best interest of your vendor while treating the buyer fairly.
