what exactly are they trying to say????

Priceless! When I find descriptions like this I tend to just move on to the next one. People who think that they're being unique with this kind of thing are only hurting themselves and their clients.

Holy smokes all I have to say is maybe they should go back to school and pay attention. A lot of realtors around here ride the short bus also.

I can't believe that people don't read there MLS descriptions.

I always work hard to be correct, but in the agent comments I often abreviate and use 2 for to and 4 for for @ for at and & for and.  I also sometimes do not have the correct punctuation on the agent comments, there just are not enough characters allowed to get some of the important information accross.

Did the author of those remarks receive a High School Diploma?

This person is supposed to be a marketing professional??  Perhaps the remarks should be sent to the agent's Broker under the subject category of "Have some pride, please fix this!"

If I were the owner of the home and saw marketing remarks like that about my house, my very next action would be to fire the agent.

You do know we have no official language in the US? At least it was in English. Cut em a break, they may not have been schooled here in the good ole USofA. Not especially professional though, I'll grant you. My favorite was a sign by an exit in a Puerto Rican (although it could have been any nationality other than American) Restaurant... Thank you for enjoy us!

I was brought up (raised- not regurgitated) in a house with a grammarly militaristic father. I'm starting a support group... call me. One free tip, never say "Im going to lay down." I can still hear him hollering at me... LIE DOWN!

Funny.

Hey, Steve. Yeah, I would suggest that this agent get a friend to proof read prior to placing this "mess" out there for everyone to read. Take care, Jim

Nice!  The 'powers that be' where I work would string me up and beat me with a wet carrot if I listed one of our Market Homes on our website in a similar fashion!  Great to point out, though!  I see it all the time!

As pathetic as that listing is- I can't help but laugh!

Why are you surprised?  Look at the way agents write posts here at ActiveRain.  Just read some of the  comments that have been left here.  Look how people make up their own rules about capitalization.

I used to do copyediting and proofreading for the Texas A&M University Press, the Department of Chemistry, and the College of Science, and it just amazed me how some people write. Of course, that was back in the days prior to Internet spell checkers and grammar checkers. In today's world, though, the only thing I can figure out is that people either don't care or don't have the time to care.

I use voice recognition software, and I have it trained so that it is 99.9% accurate. If you ever find an error in a post of mine, it's because I decided to change a sentence and decided to use the keyboard while my mouth was munching on some jalapeno nachos, thereby introducing an error. I usually find the error because I will re-read my posts when someone comments to see what the heck they are commenting on. Sometimes I just re-read them so that I can have a good laugh myself.

I've seen a few listings that had so many errors that I definitely would not hire them to be my agent because I would be afraid that they would make some errors that might cost me dearly. As my wise old grandmother said, "First impressions count," and that MLS sheet is often the first impression.

Add to the bad spelling and grammar:

• Pictures of toilets—Please. Every house has a toilet, so unless it's a gold-plated toilet or a Fish 'n' Flush toilet, leave it out.
• Pictures of the view where the picture is of the front entrance. I guess that's the view when you pull into the driveway.
• Mislabeled pictures—"Back yard." It is a picture of the back yard. Yes, indeed. Unfortunately, it's a picture of the neighbor's back yard because this one is so small.
• Lack of any pictures—Huh? There are disposal cameras for as little as $7.95, and digital cameras for as little as $79.95. I do a lot of previewing for my Clients, but I'm not wasting my time visiting a property that can't even provide me a couple of pictures. Gas is too expensive.
• Wrong address—Unbelievable.

There's probably a couple of others, but those are my pet peeves.

This is definitely one of my pet peeves though I get even more annoyed at bad photos.  Sometimes I count ten grammatial errors in a three line description.

My latest pet peeve is agents failing to leave a card after showing one of my listings (not vacant).  Is it really too much to ask that you leave a sign that you have been in someone's home?  Sellers can all tell that it looks like someone has been there but it is a little creepy if you aren't sure.  Yes I know cards cost .05-,07 cents each so if you don't want to use your good cards have some free ones printed from vistaprint.com to use for showings.  But please be courteous to the seller!

Real estate professionals need to be skilled at many things -- two major ones being written and verbal communication!  I see many realtors blaming others in their office "the woman that inputs the information made these errors".  Double check your work and the work of others if necessary for heavens sake!

Gud p0st!

That's frightening!

I'll bet there are no pictures either! And if there are any pictures, they probably look like the one below!

What a disservice to the client.

That's a Gold Star post for you! Thanks for sharing.
