Now is some instances a nice laminate floor makes perfect sense. A top quality laminate can also look great. But let's be honest it isn't hardwood floors.
For buyers walking into a home that is listed in the MLS with "hardwood" floors to discover laminate is setting them up for a big disappointment. Especially when you discover not only isn't it hardwood but it is a poorly installed low quality laminate.
It's hard to know whether advertising a hardwood floor when there isn't one is just lack of knowledge on the listing agents part or truly meant to deceive. I'm going to hope it is the first problem and not the second.
If you are listing a home for sale take a good look at the floor. If it's laminate just say so. It doesn't mean a buyer isn't going to look at the house but they will walk in with the right expectations.
