It's"hump day," and the Blooper Blog is back, my friends. There were some amazing gaffes on the MLS and in real estate advertising this week, and I have also included some older trophy winners. It seems the need for truncated speech in social media outlets is relegating proper grammar to the past. A special thanks to our own Jane Peters for sending me the most hilarious listing copy ever. Please enjoy:
California Gold
"Ask about grass" (Dude, is real estate ganja now a thing?)"Trembling in yard" (Brought to you by San Andreas Real Estate, Inc.)
"Large area for flours" (I believe that's called a bakery.)
"Potted pants stay" (Potted agent needs Depends.)
"A house ideal for generators" (Reality check: that's a tent, nitwit...)
New Jersey Pyrite
"Drop in for smacks" (Touch me and you're going down, dude!)
"Pizza launch" (Never piss off Antonio while he's cooking...)
"Sprinklers on auto" ('Back into a car wash?)
"Ceilings have been raided" (So have your IQ points.)
"Completely mew kitchen" (That explains the litter box in the fridge.)
"Ceilings have been raided" (So have your IQ points.)
"Completely mew kitchen" (That explains the litter box in the fridge.)
Simply Oz
"Warning – lots of stares" (The toilet paper hanging out of your pants may be a factor...)
"New tikes on roof" (How do you get the kids to hold on during a rainstorm?)
"Call for entry cod" (Well I did notice the dorsal fin on the doorman...)
"New tikes on roof" (How do you get the kids to hold on during a rainstorm?)
"Call for entry cod" (Well I did notice the dorsal fin on the doorman...)
"Dishwasher operates good" (The AMA may have a different opinion about that...)
"Applicants must provide OD" (Hence the crash cart and defibrillators on the porch.)
"Applicants must provide OD" (Hence the crash cart and defibrillators on the porch.)
And the Just Plain Funny Award goes to:
"Donkey under mat" (Hence the term "asswipe.")
And the Creativity Award of The Week goes to:
"The roof leaks, the floor creaks, and there's a terrible draft, but this home is a very open concept...the inside is open to the outside because several of the windows are broken. There is a sunny window in the kitchen... and absolutely nothing else. I know you've heard of a detached garage, but have you ever heard of a detached foundation?...Honey stop the car!"
I can't add to this - it speaks for its glorious self...and it's Pending! Thanks to Jane Peters for the best find ever!
That's it for this week, folks. Remember: Spell well and sell!
