My wife is one of the smartest people I know and if I can’t spell a word I call her and she 99.99% of the time can spell it with no problem and tell you what its meaning is. So as I was looking over Webster’s© and came across this word I went to her and she got pretty darn close so I decided to use it. Again I ask you do you show clients homes that are (ke mo’de es)? I know I do and the meaning is: offering plenty of room; spacious; roomy. If the home is smaller in size as long as the rooms look big and it makes the client happy we’ve done our job. Enjoy the day

Hi James,

It says what? Is that French for we need a bigger home? Lost me on that one. It's very good to mention the wife in your posts.

Just one small way to keep "out of the dog house". LOL

Have a safe and relaxing day today.

Hi James - It sounds like a home with a bathroom.

James ~ I'm generally pretty good with words, and your description of your wife sounds like something my husband would say about me. You stumped me with "commodious", though. Too easy to go another direction with that one, as Conrad did in #3. Although I appreciate how relevant the word would be for real estate, I'm not so sure I'll use it with clients - that one would definitely require explanation just about every time. I enjoyed reading, have a great day!

Commodious is a relative term. What one man thinks is "commodious" another thinks is small. Just a short time working with buyers will teach you that. Enjoy your word games. Enjoy the day!

Good morning. Many buyers are trying to downsize and simplify their lives. They hope to find a commodious but smaller home.

Blooming for you!
