| sales: The Best of L.A. Dining - 10/16/10 03:27 PM I just received my third call this week from clients who are new to The City of Angels. They all asked the same question: "Where is the best place to eat in L.A.?" That's a hard question to answer, as L.A. is an enormous city with every type of cuisine ... (14 comments) |
| sales: Who Laid This Rotten Egg? (Hysterical Real Estate Bloopers) - 10/15/10 03:17 PM This week I actually got hungry reading the MLS and the LA Times real estate ads. Check out these bloopers so you can see what's currently on the menu. A few folks have "egg" on their faces right now, and there was so much "ham" I am about to hit the sauce. ... (30 comments) |
| sales: Tony Soprano On Real Estate (MLS Bloopers) - 09/30/10 04:55 PM Here we go again, friends - more howls this week because agents can't spell, or they have "ham fingers" at the keyboard. I found a number of MLS and newspaper bloopers that would suggest that some agents are "making offers you can't refuse" - Tony Soprano style: This Week's Tribute ... (19 comments) |
| sales: Head Scratchers and Belly Laugh-ers - The MLS - 09/10/10 02:06 PM Seriously folks, someone needs to alert ITT Tech. It's time they establish a course for translators for the real estate ads and most state MLS programs. Often the listings I see are so wacky I have to read them several times...yet sometimes they take on a life of their own. It's like listening ... (27 comments) |
| sales: MLS BLOOPERS - WORDS FROM THE HORSE'S PETUTE - 08/30/10 02:41 PM Yippy-tay-aye-ay! I rounded up a few beauties this week, friends. These bloopers are excellent reminders that if you don't think before your fingers hit the keyboard, you'll come off like a horse's petute. This week's fertile field of bloopers was more like a tribute to Calabasas ranch country, Roy Rogers and Gene ... (26 comments) |
| sales: "Cheat Rates and Killer Deals" - Hello from the MLS - 06/12/10 08:25 PM It's Friday - time for another "tour" of MLS comedyville...and I haven't even had my first martini. I cannot give all the credit to the MLS this week. I found some great gaffs in the Los Angeles Times, Homes and Land, and the MLS Weekend Guide. The best, however, was contributed by Tami ...

| sales: Lust, Lies and Videotape - The MLS Tabloid News! - 06/04/10 03:12 PM Here we go again, folks - hang on for the ride of your life. I think the holiday drinking spilled over into the work week, because there were some real knee-slappers in the MLS listing remarks this week. With material like this, who needs sit-coms? Reading the MLS and the ... (11 comments) |
| sales: "Boobies Provided"? The MLS Comedy Tour - 05/28/10 02:47 PM I've been out of town awhile, but the MLS has not let me down in my absence.

Thanks to my partner, Patrick Martin, for keeping a watchful eye on the MLS, the LA Times and the ... (105 comments) |
| sales: What Will Your Real Estate Tombstone Say? - 04/16/10 04:27 PM Recently a friend and colleague was telling me how tired she was from a week of PTA, cookie sales, shlepping clients, fielding calls, negotiating contracts, and taking license renewal classes. She said she feared she'd be DOA at her next appointment, but she knew her IPhone would continue ringing long ... (20 comments) |
| sales: The MLS - Are Ya' Coming or Going? - 04/09/10 10:42 AM Ah...another week of weird descriptions and head scratchers on the MLS. One home was "warm and cotzly" and another was "near a succer field"...but they are no competition for what follows! Thanks to Matt Stigliano of Re/Max, Patrick Martin of Sotheby's International Realty, and Nashville Broker Grant Hammond for their contributions, ... (21 comments) |
| sales: More MLS Screwups - Weekend Roundup - 03/26/10 01:00 PM Well, it didn't take long to collect a few more MLS typos that are real hooters...uh, I mean "hoots." Take heed when typing, friends, and remember that "success" is only one letter away from "suck-cess"; and "goof" is only nine letters away from "big fat loser." Let's end the week early and enjoy a ... (19 comments) |
| sales: R.E. Sales Test: Could You Move This Turkey? - 02/19/10 02:35 PM Attention all salespersons: It's time to take a test to determine how good a salesperson you really are. Could you sell a house that's a 10 on the Suckometer? If you get all the answers right, you will receive a can of Spam. Or not... 1. The house is devoid ... (18 comments) |

Is there a glitch in YOUR pitch? For Those Who Want Only the Best "Must see this germ to believe it!" (...said the agent with infectious enthusiasm.) "Five bedrooms ... (16 comments) |
| sales: MORE MLS MADNESS - WELCOME TO 2010! - 01/15/10 08:49 PM Well folks, we have started off the New Year with a bang...or is it a bong? The MLS and the Real Estate ads are teeming with hilarious misspellings and bizarre descriptions. I suspect we will have a year full of delicious faux pas. (I suppose that would that be written ...
