"Trainquil setting" - Are You Off-Track Due To Listing Bloopers?

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

Happy Friday - the Blooper Reel is back! No matter how many times I decide to take a vacation from posting, the gaffes on the MLS and in the local real estate ads are just too hysterical to ignore.  Thanks as always for your wonderful contributions – I received some great ones this week from L.A.'s very own agent extraordinaire Jane Peters. Now hold on for the laughter:

Goin’ South…

“Needs attention for sagging” (Are you referring to my boobs, or Justin Bieber’s pants?)

“Leather-cowered walls” (If you were that cow, you’d be cowering, too, pal.)

“Desirable area near lark” (Garbled the raccoon while spitting feathers.)

“Powered by Sokar”  (If you’re referring to Russian Vodka shooters, then so am I!)

“The arkitecture will bow your mind’” (Not as much as your spelling does.)

Goin’ rogue...

“Open trough this evening” (The john must be overflowing at Barney’s Beanery again.)

“Great Hollywood hide-out” (That would be great if my buyers were Bonnie and Clyde.)

“Start the year off rite!” (And yet oh so wrong…)

“Trainquil setting” (Your train is on the wrong track, my friend.)

“New rear, new look” (Oh dear Lord-of-Reality-Nightmares - not another Kim Kardashian!)

Goin’ down…

“Wood imported from Brazile”  (Does this mean that Donna Brazile left CNN for a lucrative career in tree sales?)

“We appreceate and look foreward to your referals” (You may be looking for quite some time, dude.)

“View of L.A. bison” (Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam…)

“Pot plants not to stay” (Well Snoop, I suspect there’s nothing left but soil anyway.)

“Unobstructed view of Dow town” (Whoever has been keeping an eye on Wall Street must have blinked!)

And he’s GONE!

“Just needs a little shitshine” (HAHAHA – I am laughing too hard to pick myself up off the floor to respond to this one!!!)

 

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

Gwen,

Spelling bloopers seem to be abundant in the real estate industry.  Some can be very embarrassing!

Interesting, my post today is about a "new front, new look."  Maybe that should make the MLS. 

And as to spitshine, well - oh, sorry, I see I misssspelled that one.

I used that "new rear, new look" line all the time when I was a personal trainer. You can never do to many squats.

Andrew, sadly enough, I think some agents simply don't care.

 

Bruce, my chin is resting on my boob. is that a problem? :-)

 

Mike, one squat is too many for me - hence my old rear!

 

Linda, I roared when I read that one!

 

Jay, I'd like a new front and a new look - so sign me up please!

Gwen, not at all!  (providing you are wearing an anti-aircraft Madonna brassiere that is loaded and trained upward toward the sky)  ^_~
