“Big square feets” - Blooper Footprints on the MLS

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

 

Welcome back to the Blooper Blog. The week is in full swing, and the MLS is already rife with gaffes. Are agents typing their listing remarks while perched on bar stools at Hooters? Check out these hilarious typos:

Dare I Inquire?

“Do nut park in back” (Sign at L.A.P.D. headquarters.)

“A grate deal” (Are you selling homes or Parmesan?)

“Bestiful jew carpet” (Said the Fiddler on the Roof.)

“Charming porch swinger” (Take my advice, never date a monkey.)

"Call for fat response" (Why pick up a phone when I can just eat more cake?)

Uh, What’s That You Said?

“Big square feets” (Well you know what they say about foot size...)

“Very roomy herse” (Sober up, dude - I think you're in a party limo.)

"Watch the morning sunset" (Is that like watching the water drain in the other direction in Australia?)

“Chew paints & carpets” (Apparently  the rug-rats ran out of snacks again.)

"Wiring not up cod" (Welcome to my fish fry.)

I’m Sorry I Asked

“9p008 Spring Valley Rd” (Reason # 1 why you should never “p” in a strange place.)

"Apointment please, but most morning would fine" (That's what my ex always said...)

"No sound from neighbors" (Hence the police tape...)

“Please to ck pubic records” (I don't even want to know where you plugged in that record player.)

 

(REPOST OF ONE OF MY PAST BLOGS FOR MY AR FRIENDS)

 

That’s it for this week, folks. Remember: Spell well and sell!

Tom Arstingstall, my dog thinks I am crazy because I snort with laughter every time I come across some of these bloopers!

RJ Curtis, unfortunately the photograph evidence I submitted to the National Enquirer gave you away :-)

Thank you Endre Barath. Without laughter, real estate agents would probably be certifiable. Or has that ship already sailed?

Debe Maxwell, actually, when the business drives you to drinking you should go to a bar...and I will be sitting there waiting for you!

Bob Ratliff, I actually wonder how some of them find their way to the office!

Kimo Jarrett, I suppose there is excellence as well as embarrassing unprofessionalism in every area of employment. I just wish they wouldn’t advertise their carelessness in print!

Carey Sierra - I agree. And so is proofreading, right? :-)

Mike Cooper, I love your ability to think outside the box...even if the box is inside a hearse! :-)

"Watch the morning sunset" - This works if you wake up just before the sun goes down, and I know some of those people.

Georgie Hunter, that actually applies to me. These days it takes me all day long just to try to wake up!

Hi Gwen:

I needed a laugh and these certainly provided it. Wonder if the sellers were laughing?

Gwen, I sometimes wonder if some agents REALLY cannot spell, or at least use spell-check.  Our MLS highlights words that are not spelled correctly.

Jeff Dowler, if I were a seller, I would fail to see the humor. Happy Holidays!

Joan Cox, I think laziness and carelessness are the biggest factors. Thanks for checking in -  I hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season!
