“Don’t expsct pefection” Are Your Listings Revealing The Real You?

By
Real Estate Agent with Sotheby's International Realty BRE # 01362887

Ah, at last it's Friday, and the fun continues. It’s time for the blooper reel, my friends, and as usual, there is no dearth of material. Thanks to Jane Peters of Los Angeles, Bruce Walter of West Lafayette, Indiana, and Michael Jacobs of Pasadena, CA. for some great submissions this week. Bruce even supplied the final quip. My posse never does me wrong. Please enjoy:

For the Kiddies

“Playroom inc bouncy cattle” (Milkshakes anyone?)

“Viyl flooring” (Not as vile as your spelling)

“House sits on ben” (Hence Ben’s smashed shoes protruding from the crawl space vent.)

“New grazed tile” (How did you get the goats into the tub?)

For the Birds

“Experiencd Shot sale expert” (Is that the plaque they mounted on your bar stool?)

“Bar for horss” (That explains the drunk, hairy guy with the saddle on his back.)

“Fast access to sirpot” (That’s really important after a six-pack, right bubba?)

“Very little nose” (Even smaller frontal lobe…)

Beware of sped numbs” (Never type while driving, sport.)

For the Adults

“Exploding views” (Welcome sign at the Meteorite Cafe in Chelyabinsk, Russia.)

“Gas brick window” (When your gas is so bad you’re laying bricks, you need to OPEN a window!)

“Auto sensors in kitchen” (In case you overlook that Prius blocking the stove…)

“Don’t expsct pefection” (That ship has sailed, darlin.’)

Two For the Road

“Suspended rod iron” (My money says it will be limp again in sixty seconds, stud.)

“Emasculation view of the mountains” (That’s what happens when you get your rocks cut off.)

 

That’s it for this week, folks, but I'll be back next Friday. Until then, remember: Spell well and sell!

Please visit me at www.gwenbanta.com, or visit www.victorylodgeinfo.com to see my magnificent listing: "Reduced: $14,900,000 Log Cabin Estate" and "Whitley Heights Investment Properties - $3.3M" @ http://youtu.be/PW6lstI9Yug . Thank you!

Man oh man.  In CA the houses land on Ben, and when they leave Kansas they land on wicked witches.  But no matter where, you gotta like an emasculating view.

Geeeeezzz...

Hmmmm... “Playroom inc bouncy cattle” sounds like it belongs

in the adult section. Maybe I'm beyond redemption. :-(

Another great list Gwen.  I'm not surprised any more by how bad some agents are at inputting their listings.   Looking forward to the next installment of MLS bloopers.

Jay, in our town, the houses hit their targets more often than the L.A. Lakers ;-)
