Not quite sure I understand this question.The "request representation" phrasing is interesting, as OD doesn't staff or recommend Realtors for sellers' use.

Just the fact's ma'am, no "I feel your pain" or "I'm sorry but." or "expenses have increased".When making a big raise to people we want to keep (inherited, repositioning what have you) we have tried to matter of factly let them know in advance of our plans and use the magic phrase "nothing will change without notice". 

The question about price could be phrased "what do you need" not want.

Example: "I buy houses" or "We buy houses", which phrase would makes a potential client feel more comfortable?

Michelle Cheri Thanks for the google search phrasing, I found exactly what I was looking for, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003U6N2PQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?

lolUs investors would throw the book right back the irs if there weren’t enough benefits for us to learn it.Lawyers specialize in it, crazy level.It's a phrase that my old boss used when I was with my large public firm that stuck with me.

Phrasing it that way allows you to just start a conversation and uncover their motivation, or lack thereof.

They repeat the catch phrases off of YouTube videos ("It's all about he difference between simple and compound interest") that are extremely misleading as if they were fact and then willfully ignore the truth of how different types of loans and debt actually work.

Using phrases like 1- I have my partner that will fund the entire money is a GREAT way !
