Glen Ellyn District 41 – Community Outreach Program - 02/03/07 07:10 AM
I remember sitting at a Churchill Elementary PTA meeting a few years ago with tears in my eyes voting to allow the PTA to use funds to help provide some students with items they are unable to purchase themselves; gently used coats, hats, backpacks, binders. It seems that for years, when a teacher saw a need like this, they would go out and get the item for the child themselves.

As with all industries, real estate professionals have developed a lingo and acronyms to help them communicate with each other more easily. For the first-time homebuyer (and even some veterans), making sense of property listings can sometimes leave you feeling like you're deciphering the DaVinci Code.
Let's take a look at a sample real estate listing: 2,500 sf on a c-d-s, 2BR, 2.5BA, CA, spac grt rm w/ wbfp, grmet kit, det gar
Looks a lot like alphabet soup. However, using this type of abbreviated property description saves valuable advertising space. Some abbreviations you'll probably encounter are:
