REALTORS® say the Darndest Things? But sometimes it's the things written in the agent remarks section of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) . Things that every REALTOR® working hard to find a home for their buyer clients first read before laughing at it and tossing it in the shredder.
Here are ACTUAL examples of what may be written about your home in the MLS. These comments may discourage other REALTORS® from scheduling an appointment for their buyers.
1. SUBJECT TO INTERIOR INSPECTION; MUST SUBMIT OFFER FIRST; DO NOT GO ON PROPERTY; DRIVE BY ONLY; DO NOT DISTURB OCCUPANTS FOR ANY REASON!!!! DO NOT SOLICIT OWNER OR OCCUPANTS!!! SEVERE WATER DAMAGE ON ROOF FROM RECENT STORMS; WATER DAMAGE ON 1ST FLOOR FROM FAULTY PLUMBING; POSSIBLE MOLD ISSUE FROM WATER DAMAGE; UPSTAIRS BATHROOM WATER DAMAGE EVIDENT IN GARAGE CEILING; POSSIBLE FOUNDATION WATER DAMAGE, PONDING ON BACK OF THE HOUSE. HOME OWNER IS A LICENSED REAL ESTATE AGENT IN CALIFORNIA.
2. Do Not Disturb Occupants!!! Do Not Walk Anywhere Near this Property! SUBMIT OFFER SUBJECT TO INSPECTION via email/Mongo Fax only to XXXXXXX.COM. Do not call for offer status, if accepted, you will be notified. No status calls returned. Cash offer preferred. Absolutely NO offers less than $270,000 will even be considered!!!
3. Agents. No Key safe at property. Home is Occupied by owner. Sorry for the inconvenience however home owner has no phone and cannot be contacted. Also Mrs. Homeowner does not speak English. Thank you and good luck.
If you are selling your home, demand to see what your REALTOR® is saying (or not saying) about your home.
AND...If this is what you've asked your REALTOR® to put in the MLS, I guess you could get lucky and sell to some desperate home buyer willing to buy it withou ever stepping foot inside your home, BUT... if you are wondering why it hasn't sold.....well....all I can say is Good Luck and thanks for the laugh!
