What are the Keywords Your Buyers Are Using For Your House?

Hi Kathy... one thing I've noticed about how agents describe their listings is that too often they use what I call "realtoreze" expressions or cutesy expressions that are meaningless to the average buyer. I hate seeing someone describe their home as a "doll house." It screams small and juvenile to me.

The Let's Make An Offer Home is the one we enjoy hearing Kathy, and SOLD by Larry and Sheila would be another!

Good morning Kathy. I used "unpack in the morning and entertain tonight" from time to time. Worked well for the right properties. Enjoy your day.

Good morning Kathy Streib ,

You chose an interesting topic this morning! Key words buyers are using to search for homes. I often as buyers what they are using and some are using open floor plan, primary bed down, office, updates, remodeled kitchen etc.

I admit I've categorized some homes in my mind and it's usually because they were memorable for the wrong reasons. "The Must Buy Now Home" is the one we hope to see!

I have heard some interesting keywords used by buyers over the years when looking at homes, haha.  Hey, if I were in San Antonio, would you make the drive to have lunch with me or nah?

Good morning, Kathy..
How about the: This doesn't look anything like the pictures house?  That's usually not a good thing.

Hello Kathy and keywords are so important and we all use them a different way.  Great blog by you once again.

Great information regarding key words. Thanks for sharing, enjoy your Memorial Day weekend. Bill

Kathy, it is interesting to hear what our clients called different homes, and some are definitely not very complimentary.

Hi Kathy Streib. Keywords are very useful for describing properties. I remember once using the term, "Don't Buy an Ugly House" until you contact me. That was when I was selling a lot of foreclosed properties that needed lots of loving care. 

Hi Kathy,

These "tags" are so true.  I certainly don't want one of my listings to have anything but "My dream home", but you never know exactly what a buyer might tag your listing as.  

This is a very good reminder to share with home sellers and their listing agents.

Kathy I never gave much thought to the use of key words to describe homes, but it makes sense.

Your description for "Grandma's House," makes me want to redo my home, Kathy.  I have the lace curtains and the doilies, that I should have put away years ago.  However, my grandkids love this house, and when I speak of changes, they veto it.  Fortunately, I won't be selling.  They will need to carry me out of here in a box.  But, I will remind them to dispense with the lace and doilies, when they settle my estate.🙃

CONGRATULATIONS Kathy, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!  

Kathy key words are important, I use them View Lots, Panoramic Views and the list goes on and on, Ensre

The description, fresh and updated appeals to the masses, rustic, not so much unless it's a mountain cabin in the wooded forest. Enjoyed this post Kathy, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

We had code names for every house we looked at when we were house hunting. 

Man Cave house, horror film house, murder in the basement, cat lady. Polly wants a cracker was what we called the house with the parrot in a cage on the kitchen table.

Love this post, Kathy Streib. When showing homes, we always have a nickname to differentiate each home. Those tag words really help when you've seen more than a few properties.
