“This is a winer" - Winners and Losers on the MLS

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

I’m ba-a-a-ack! You can’t escape the eyes of the Big Blooper, my friends. Check out these hilarious errors I found in the MLS and in the local real estate ads this past week. Thanks to Jill Sackler of Plainview, N.Y. for submitting several hilarious gaffes she found. Names withheld to protect the inebriated:

Which Way is North?

“This is a winer” (And we all know who the loser is...)

“This one beans remodeled” (I’d like to see the frank that accompanied the beans.)

“Half a mill looks like a nil” (I imagine your commission check will look the same.)

“Come see whats been addled” (Why bother – I can see your brain from here.)

“Comme now - market snot” (Who’s your biggest buyer – Mucinex?)

Which Way is Up?

“High in the Hollywoood halls” (Your high is rather obvious, dude.)

“Dining Rm w/ Faulted Ceiling” (I doubt if it’s any bigger than the fault in your cranium.)

“We drive traffic to your property” (Proudly offered by Teamster Realty.)

“Duck finish lasts forever” (Tell that to the duck in your soup.)

“Don’t seattle for less” (What the Halifax are you trying to say, pal?)

Heading South Quickly

“Very near big country cub” (That explains the screaming campers up in the tree.)

“Large confound” (Is this what you say to yourself ever morning when you arise?)

“You want the bess – this is it” (Let me guess: The tattoo Bess Truman had inked on her a_ _  after a wild night in The White House rose garden?)

“Lawn bow” (For those interested in green archery.)

“Your hun ends here” (…Yelled Attila’s wife when she caught him in the act of, uh, ‘plundering.’)

Completely and Hopelessly Lost

“Seller picked his own log” (Reason # 1 he’ll never be on my list of dinner guests.)

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

Please see my new listing for Sotheby's International Realty: LAKE ARROWHEAD WATER FRONT TROPHY PROPERTY - OFFERED AT $15,900,000.

Gwen - thanks so much for the shout out! Because of you, I'll never look at agent remarks in the same way. Witty and quick-thinking are the characteristics that have, obviously, brought you this far in life.

Brad, unfortuantely for Attila, his wife disagreed...so she felled his log.
