So I agreed and was empathetic.

I always try to be as collaborative and empathetic as I can possibly be while still protecting my buinsess interests: sometimes a conversation goes a long way to soften the blow.

I was always totally respectful and empathetic to the previous owners daughter.

Good job staying positive and empathetic.  

If they happen to take it (again, rare), you have close to guaranteed income for at least two years and no additional make ready costs, but if they don't (can't stress this enough, they won't), at the renewal date you don't have to feel bad because it's essentially an "I told you so" moment.I hope this helps, and from one empathetic landlord to another, I hope you don't become too jaded in this business.

She has always been cordial, empathetic, and always willing help satisfy my requests.

I want the seller to know how empathetic I am.Seller Answer: “He said it would be about 10 percent total, six percent for him and four percent for the other costs.â€REI Statement: “He said it would cost 10 percent, outstanding.â€REI Statement: “I am going to write the four percent on the yellow pad.â€As long as the seller is in reality land, somewhere above two percent for seller costs, I will not object to their answer.

After conversing with the owner and hearing his dilemma, I was empathetic with his situation.  

Your letter should come off as relatable, personal and empathetic.
