Urban mid-high rise dwellers tend to be young couples, singles/roommates, and more than likely professional, maybe some senior empty nesters who, all in, do less laundry than their suburban family property counterparts.  

Disputing or disagreeing with the initial terms of a sales contract to counterpart a small percentage to you (big one for the Broker and ultimately the Agent) on a RE transaction will not look good to anyone (except you, the seller). 

I don't think that women are less likely to take risks, I do think that we are less likely to brag about them than our male counterparts.

The more words you're blabbing while trying to defend yourself the more fuzzy the whole conversation gets, and the more likely your counterpart is completely missing the point you're trying to explain.
