A
Agent
Hi, Bellingham real estate agents. Could you hold, please?
M
Man
Okay.
A
Agent
Sorry about that. What can I do for you?
M
Man
Yeah, I'm looking for some tenants for my house, and I was hoping you could advertise it for me.
A
Agent
Sure. No problem. Is it here in Vancouver?
M
Man
No, it's just outside enrichment.
A
Agent
Very nice. It's a house, you say.
M
Man
Yes, it's a family house. It's two-story, quite modern.
A
Agent
Right. And you're wanting to rent out the whole place? Is that right?
M
Man
No, no. Just two rooms are for rent. That's two bedrooms plus the use of the rest of the house. It would really suit a couple of students.
A
Agent
Okay. Can you just tell me the address, please?
M
Man
Yes, sure. It's 3281, number one-road enrichment.
A
Agent
Okay. That's quite a way out. And how much were you thinking of for these rooms?
M
Man
I thought $700 per room would be a pretty fair price.
A
Agent
Is that per month?
M
Man
Sure.
A
Agent
Okay. You'd get at least a thousand if you were in Vancouver.
M
Man
Yeah, I know.
A
Agent
Hmm. Any other costs?
M
Man
Uh, just the cleaner who comes once a week.
A
Agent
Cleaner, okay. And how much would your tenant have to pay her?
M
Man
Um, actually, it's a guy. And that would be another $30 a month for the cleaning.
A
Agent
Okay. And is it nice? I mean, is it got a view in things?
M
Man
Sure. It looks out over the ocean. No garden. But there's lots to look at from the lounge.
A
Agent
Okay. And your name is...
M
Man
Peter Truboise.
A
Agent
True Boys. Is that B-O-Y-S?
M
Man
No, it's T-R-U-B-O-I-S-E.
A
Agent
Truboise. Nice name. And your address?
M
Man
It's the same one I just gave you.
A
Agent
Fine. As above. Got a phone number you can give me?
M
Man
Sure. I'm calling you from it. It's 6047-4106.
A
Agent
And a cell.
M
Man
Yes, that's 903-277-3987.
A
Agent
Now let's get down to the serious stuff. What have you got in the kitchen? A fridge, of course.
M
Man
Yes, a fridge. And there's a dishwasher.
A
Agent
Got facilities for washing clothes?
M
Man
Yeah, a washing machine in the basement and a dryer, too.
A
Agent
Okay. Gas or electric stove?
M
Man
Electric. And in the kitchen there's a microwave as well.
A
Agent
Fine. Now what about the house? Anything worth mentioning?
M
Man
Sure. There's a room for playing ping pong and pool.
A
Agent
Great. And how's it heated?
M
Man
It's got central heating, but no fireplace.
A
Agent
Well, that's too bad. I like an open fire and winter. Air conditioned?
M
Man
No.
A
Agent
No conditioning. I suppose you've got a TV.
M
Man
Sure.
A
Agent
Cable?
M
Man
Uh, afraid not. I've never gotten around to putting it in.
A
Agent
Fine. What sort of tenant are you looking for? Students, you said?
M
Man
That's right. Although it's quite away from the university. I guess they'd need a car.
A
Agent
That's true. Still, there's a shopping mall just a block away. I'm looking at a map right now.
M
Man
Yep. Just a small one. No movie theaters or anything like that. We're right by the beach, though, and that's something.
A
Agent
Sure. Especially in this weather. I wish I was there myself. Any other entertainment in the area?
M
Man
There's a cocktail lounge on the corner and a couple of hamburger joints. You'd have to go downtown for a movie, though. Oh, and Boyd Park is only a couple of hundred yards away.
A
Agent
Okay, Mr. Truboise, I'll post this up for you, and I hope you have some luck.
M
Man
Thanks. Bye.
A
Agent
Bye, and take care.
M
Man
Sure.
A
Agent
Thanks.
