Tales From A Wild Wild MLS

How about some bookmark love? :: delicious digg furl StumbleUpon Toolbar Google Bookmarks newsvine reddit spurl Technorati yahoo

I have seen some pretty wild stuff pouring over pages and pages of property descriptions in our local MLS.

So I decided that I could dedicate a series of blog posts to take a peek inside the rarely seen* world of the MLS.

For Example, there's nothing like trying to sell a house WITHOUT ANY PICTURES:

The price on this home? $1,075,000
Without any pictures, let's just paint one for you with the Agent's Description:

Stats: 4 Bedrooms (Trust me, they're there)
Square Footage: 2700+ (Bring a Tape Measurer)

Beautiful Views! (But it was foggy that day, so they aren't worth a picture)

Notice to agents: "If you do convince your clients to see this one, keep in mind that the house was built in the 1970's so it is better to use your imagination at this point. P.S. I hope it sells, you should see the brochure."

How about some other choice remarks:
Remarks: Small dog name Tiffini, do not let her out...

Oh, now that I know the dog's name, are there any other critical elements that I need to know to sell this place?

I'm going to keep my eyes out for more entertainment stored in the vast MLS, and I'll be happy to keep the blog readers updated on it.

Meanwhile, you can Search the Orange County MLS yourself, and let the entertainment begin.

*Rarely seen by the non-Real Estate Agent public.

If only the client knew the level of marketing being done on that listing!
