advertising: “Lots of fres hair” - Hair Raising MLS Bloopers - 05/04/12 12:54 AM
The Blooper Scooper is back, folks. Bad-spelling-while-selling seems to be an epidemic. Thanks to Jane Peters and Bruce Walter for sending me some great contributions this week. These are from all over the country, lest you think all the nuts are here in L.A. Check these out:
Splitting Hairs
“Lots of fres hair” (Let me guess... How to identify Diana Ross in a monsoon?)
“Nice bungalou” (Crooned Desi, as Lucy and her banana hat toppled into the orchestra pit.)
“Polish Peg Floors with visible knots” (Polish Peg could use a laxative.)
“Huge Malibu cornpound” (If I were the seller, I'd tell you … (55 comments)

advertising: "In escargot" - Hasty 'n' Tasty MLS Bloopers - 03/30/12 04:26 PM
This was a week for great bloopers and auto-fill madness, folks. Thanks to Bruce Walter of West Lafayette, Indiana for his hilarious farmer contribution. Check out these MLS and real estate advertising funnies:
Dishing It Out "Will sell soot" (Proudly offered by Bert, The Chimney Sweep and his partner, Mary Poppins.)
"Farmers makeit every Tuesday" (Hence the term, "bump-her crop.".)
"Make this your nest cattle" (Word to the wise: If there's a cattle nest in your tree, don't sit under it without a really big hat.)
"Sophistication and crass" ( Sandra Bullock when she was with Jesse James?)
"Nice scaly rooms" (The … (30 comments)

advertising: "Price just droppings" - Do-Do and Don'ts on the MLS - 03/09/12 10:16 AM
Cue the music: “You’ve got to ac-cen-tuate the positive, e-lim-inate…” Oh, where was I? Yes, waste on the MLS. Check out these hilarious bloopers that were wasted opportunities to advertise listings. Remember, friends: Spell and Sell!
Eliminate The Negative "Price just droppings" (From what I can see, your license has the same value.)
“Dumpers in driveway removed soon” (Anyone who takes a dump in my driveway will be ”removed” to the hood of my speeding car.)
“Buyers will tank you” (You just tanked yourself.)
“2 porches & mad room” (That expalins the padded walls.)
“Energy saber appliances” (Former home of Obi-Wan?)
“Seller wall … (58 comments)

advertising: "Realy goose house" - Cooking Your Goose on the MLS - 03/01/12 11:58 PM
Are you cooking your own goose with your listing remarks? This week was a smorgasbord of blooper delights. Yes, real estate can be a pressure cooker, friends, but it seems these agents have offered themselves up as the first course:
Plug In The George Foreman "Realy goose house" (Let me guess - you'll bend over backwards for me?)
“Radiation heet” (Oh great - buy, fry, and die.)
“Flame retarded fabrics” (It seems the flames had the same effect on you.)
“Gas – landlords” (Then I'd advise you not to light a match near his arse.)
“Seller wants fist” (I’m not touching this one…)
“Divorce special” … (62 comments)

advertising: "Bald touches" - Are Your Listing Remarks Missing by a Hair? - 01/27/12 02:39 AM
Yes, it's Friday, and the Blooper Scooper is back. When you see some of the gaffes I found this week, you may want to shave your own head in protest. Check out these hysterical faux pas, friends:
Please tell me it’s a joke… “Park at Kim’s Wart” ( Uh, not so fast - is there a hair growing out of it?)
“Blow-up sale” (Did this occur before or after you blew up your career?)”
“Electriiciity now on” (My gut says you tested the outlets with a fork.)
“Key hidden under matt” (I can only imagine where Matt’s keyhole is…)
“Dont hasittate” (Don’t drink Nyquil.)
Please tell … (43 comments)

advertising: "Ask for current" ...And Other Shocking MLS Bloopers - 08/12/11 03:01 PM
Are you guilty of littering the MLS with cast-off listing remarks, egregious misspellings, and idiotic utterances? These MLS bloopers prove that some agents are. Thus, if the shoe fits, wear it…even if it’s the only shoe you have left. Thanks to Michael Jacobs from San Marino for his great contributions. Check these out:
Offers From Idiots “Ask for current” (Proudly offered by Death Row Realty)
“Please take odd shoes” (That’s nice…if you’re a one-legged buyer.)
“This is a real budget blister” (The real abscess is that thing between your ears.)
“Kooks good” (Obviously your seller thought so when he gave you the listing.)
“New … (37 comments)

advertising: "Send beds to listing agent" - Are YOU Asleep at the Keyboard? - 07/08/11 09:16 PM
We may have just taken a holiday, but there certainly was no holiday from real estate bloopers on the MLS, as well as on the web and in local ads. Georgina Hunter from beautiful Maui found a lovely blooper this week involving valves, AR's Bruce Walter sent some great gaffes from Indiana, and Fred Glick from Philadelphia is back with Fred's Follies: Stupid Real Estate Questions From the Web. Wende Schoof from San Francisco and Jane Peters from Los Angeles also found some doozies. Please enjoy:
Pardon me?
"Send beds to listing agent" (Why bother - you're already asleep on the job.)
"Tediously … (55 comments)

advertising: "Living Area Not Included" - Would You Buy This House? - 04/29/11 04:13 PM
Strange things are afoot, folks. Spring is bringing out the light side of real estate. The sun is shining, jasmine is wafting on the breeze, and cow paddies are warming in the living room. Check out these Spring Fever bloopers from the MLS and real estate adds:
This Won't Look Good on Your Resume
"Tenants mooing on the first" (They must have had a beef with the owner.)
"Living area not included" (But for a little extra we'll throw in one brain-dead agent.)
"Do not dishrub tenant" (If he's cute, I'll him with oil.)
"Timless design" (Susan Sarandon since the split?)
"New stuckup just … (26 comments)
