"Peekaboob view" MLS Bloopers from the Viewpoint of a Humorist

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

Hi, folks – it's Blooper day again. Be forewarned that my trusty spies and I are looking for MLS and real estate marketing errors in your market. Use that spell-check application and be sure to proof-read, because Big Boober is lurking. Uh, Blooper. Enjoy this week’s funny gaffes:

Wrong Move

“Peekaboob view” (Sorry, I thought I was stroking your pet gerbil.)

“Wine and Chess open” (For those with checkered reputations…)

“Pad reminiscent of the Ratt Pack” (Offered by Savant Realty. Motto: We can spell “reminiscent,” but we can’t spell ”rat.”)

“Wall be open Tuesday” (Uh, if you’re referring to Berlin, you missed something big.)

“Join us for a moonlit night under the sand” (Methinks you’re already lit, pal.)

Wrong Decision

“Saultwater pool” (Memo: Never swim in a pool after Saul has downed a six-pack.)

“Were here foryou 24 hors a day.” (Thanks, but get some sleep before you hurt someone.)

“Incurable workmanship” (Are you referring to Capitol Hill?)

“Refi & remorse mortgages” (Tattered sign in a vacant Countrywide office.)

“Wine and 3 piece condo” (Open house hosted by San Andreas Red Flagged Realty.)

Wrong Turn

“Nights under stars” ( Here in Hollywood, that’s referred to as a casting couch.)

“Close to shopping and calfes” (For those who have always wanted to live in a silo.)

“Nickanemd Casa Splenddor” (So how are those electroshock treatments going for you?)

“Need designer’s touch” (If the designer is George Clooney, then so do I.)

 

Just Plain Wrong

“Focks of ducks on the canal” (What the fock does that mean?)

 

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.

I could be wrong but this summer and fall we had focks of geese come and go from the pond beside our house.

Am I catching on?

Gwen, I agree with Dorie. These are some of the best! Thanks for starting my day with a chuckle. (You better believe I'm using my spell check!)

That last one has me scratching my head.  Is there a canal running by a  house?  That just seems really weird.

Duck foking??? After reading this... my "wild days" don't seem so wild.

Also, I'm pretty sure duck foking is illegal in Canada. ;-)

Hi Everyone – I will not be commenting individually this week. I am preparing to go back East because of the death of a loved one. However, thank you for YOUR comments. They have put a smile on my face during a very tough time. The Blooper Blog will be back in two weeks. In the meantime: Work hard, play hard, and love even harder. See you soon!

That's like the policemen who told us not to abuse the ducks when we went to Hyde Park early one morning.
