Wordless Wednesday -- Listing Agent Says it All!

Industry Observer with RETIRED / State License is Inactive Inactive License Oregon


 

So a little back story: I'm looking at listings yesterday for an investor buyer client I'm working with and noticed in the PUBLIC remark section of the listing sheet:

Don't look at Zillow or Yahoo for info it not correct!

Too funny. 

I wonder why the listing agent felt a need to put that in the Public Remarks?  Maybe those sites "valued" her listings a tad less then current market?  LOL

well that's certainly one way to get it out there.

We had some zillow goes zonkers things last week where all of one of my agents listings said for rent and we were getting a bunch of calls.  HELLLLO we don't do rentals.  Perhaps I should put NOT FOR RENT, in my public remarks.

Hi J&R . . . true!

Hey Kathleen -- you're right about it being a very good "inside" joke!  ;-)

Hi Brenda . . . I'm wondering why the list agent put that up to begin with.  Maybe that Zilly Zestimates were off -- by a long-shot! 

Hey Beth -- yes, the listing sheets do provide some good laugh material!!

Carla, this is an awfully funny comment to put into Public comments, but maybe she found the listing on these sites and wanted to be sure it WAS correct.    Too funny though.

Carla,

Maybe Zillow needs to hire a few more industry folks to beef up their reputation ;-)

Hi Carla,

I may think it but can't imagine putting it in the agent remarks.  Zillow has never been very accurate with their home values for our area.

May thing is if many Zillow puts on their website that their data is not accurate and people know that,why do so many people put their trust in them? Sometimes I just don't get it Carla. Have a great weekend.
