Realtors please stop dolling up short sale descriptions on the MLS!

I'm sick of looking at short sales and seeing Realtors doll up the description such as "this lovely 2 bedroom has original hard wood floors, etc." and then I go look at it and the wood floors are warped and the place is in terrible condition. I think we need to form a pact and start giving better descriptions on these short sales. Even it it's not in the public marks at least the realtor only info. I mean I'm sick of showing these short sales and they are described perfectly but then in terrible condition. Also, how about disclosing on the realtor only information that you have no contact with the bank yet on any offer. That you don't know if this short sale will even get approved. Some realtors are great about this and I don't think you know how some of us other realtors apprecaite it. I know some listings they have "bank has approved this price, etc." and that is great at least it shows me that I'm not going to completely waste my time and $2.75 a gallon going over there.
