英语情景对话-Making an Offer through a Realtor(3)

（单词翻译）

A: I have never done this before and don’t know where to begin as far as making an offer on this house.
B: Leave the details of making the offer up to me. What were you thinking you should offer?
A: I absolutely must have this house and will pay three hundred and fifty thousand dollars or more.
B: It is best to start a little low on the first bid to allow for a counter-offer. How about offering three hundred and twenty thousand dollars?
A: I hope that the owners aren’t insulted¹ by that offer.
B: Your offering price is not out-of-line. The owners will either take it or make a counter-offer.
A: Does it usually take very long for the owners to get back to you with an acceptance²?
B: It usually doesn’t take very long for owners to respond to an offer.
A: Should I be in touch with my bank to tell them to get the loan³ papers ready?
B: The only thing you should do now is relax. You already are pre-qualified for your loan.
