Can Agents Bad Grammar Cause Problems For Sellers?

Nice looking fit young lady puts house on market. Was surprised when she returned home and found several men had attentened her first open house, and actually signed in and left their real phone #s and emails. WOW, she says, I thought it was a slow market. Soon she recieves multiple offers! She accepts one over list. This is great.....!

 Contract, walk-thru all go fine! At closing buyer asks seller how she would like to convey the one-night stand?

Seller: What do you mean? It's in the bedroom. Buyer: You know what I mean! Seller: I'm not really sure what you're getting at? Buyer: You know, the "Incentive" that you promised to convey! It's right here in the MLS and in the contract. " One-night stand conveys with sale. Seller: Oh, that's not what I meant. It should have said "One nightstand". My agent misspelled it. Buyer: Well, your agent might have just gotten you into trouble. This is a legally binding contract. Seller: This can't be real? Settlement Attorney: I'm afraid he's correct Ms. seller. This seems to be a common mistake agents make....The MLS is full of similar mistakes..... You can finish the story however you want! It is not a real story, i just made it to to show that in some states like VA, agents need to be careful about what they say and write.

"Beautiful Colonial, 3 fin lvls, oversized gargage, deck, fenced yard. Many incentives- Owner says Riding Mower, Stainless Grill, Master BDR suite w Queen size bed, his and her dressers, and one-night stand all convey with sale!"
