Do You Sell the Fireplace or the Fire?

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Beal, Inc College Station, Texas

 

  

 In the Stone Age we were limited to the number of words we could use to describe a listing.

Newspaper, magazine, any print media charged/charges dearly for words.

The internet frees us up for our verbiage to be wordy.

What kind of words?

Do we sell the Fireplace or the Fire?

Do we put in 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with fireplace or do we warm our toes on a cold winter night before

the crackling fire?

 

There are lots of ways to increase interest.  Are we painting a picture?

Trey,

Thanks.  It's easier when it's not a $1 a word.

Thats funny Brenda.  Personally, I like that you took one picture with feet and one without.  I dont have an answer, but its a good question.

What year did you graduate?  My husband coached there in 79,80 & 81.  Probably before your time.

It's the Navasota Rattlers.  Magnolia HS Bulldogs.

I live in Grimes County.  Our office is in College Station. (Brazos County)

Let's do some referrals!

John,

Next time I will have to get a model with pretty feet.  This was illustrative purposes only.

You are so right.  I don't think we have it yet though.
