Funny Things Agents Write
Doug Rogers posted a great guide to reading and understanding the code words real estate agent use to describe homes.
The world of real estate has its own language. In an attempt to get the most for our sellers, Realtors have developed a whole list of catch phrases to make their property stand out. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of the lighter side of real estate!
1) Home needs TLC-- This is agent lingo for Torn-down, Leveled, or Combusted!
2) Seller says sell--Yikes, that was a close one! Good thing the seller did not say burn down!
3) Home is one of a kind-- After completing this house the builder returned to the circus.
4) House is adorably-cute-- In my 35 years I have seen many adorable things, not to mention a few cute
ones. Never in all my years have I seen something that was "adorably-cute"
5) All reasonable offers will be considered-- The unreasonable ones will be refered for counseling...
6) This is the deal of the century-- buy this home and you will be in debt for the next 100 years.
7) Home won't last long-- Why won't it last? Is it made out of ice??
8) Price is negotiable-- Any other shockers? Is the sky also blue?
9) A Handyman's special-- Your contractor is going to make a fortune on this deal!
10) Perfect home for families wanting to downsize-- buy this pig of a house and your wife will leave you!
