The mls can be a source of much humor such as one of my favorites:
good curve appeal instead curb
Gwen Banta writes a very funny look at spelling and word mishaps she notices in the multiple listing service and other real estate hang-outs.

What!! Nothing about the storm door or water heater? LA must be off their mark today.
There have been many posts lately about how we are not doing it right so ??? I wonder if I should re-write mine.
re-price mine?

1) Meh. It's like "Improved Price" (which I used for a while after seeing it here). Who is it improved for? Buyer (lowered)? Seller (raised)? Both communicate a change, but not the direction
2) I can see that as being legit, although "Great curb appeal" or "Impress your friends with this stylish front yard" would be better, IMO.
3) If that's the best you can put on a description... RUN FOREST RUN!!!! (Either away from the house or to your investors who want a real "project").

Oh, I hear you, Kevin J. May! The issue is we repeat them so often, we try to change it up a bit so all listings don't sound the same!
It's a catch-22!

Re-pricing is a word used in many kinds of advertising and does make me stop and look. I do wonder what can be wonderful about a driveway.

So maybe it's a radiant driveway that automatically melts the snow/ice and also comes with a built in blower that senses and then blows away (or maybe disintegrates) any leaves and twigs and acorns. Now that would earn the title of a wonderful driveway!!
And a stylish front yard. The hedges trim themselves and don outfits for the amusement of passerbys?

What drives me crazy is the Realtors/Agents who want us to believe they are hip techsters by using words such as "Launch" for starting their marketing campaign, state it is a totally "disruptive" design and will fit your "bandwidth"! Also, the word "amazing" is used excessively followed closely by "Rock-star" for the agent marketing the property. I grew up in the 60's/70's and "rock-stars" where usually seen with underage girls, loaded or high on god knows what, too skinny and always missing their gigs!

Kevin J. May I see what you are saying. They should stick to discussing the benefits of the property rather as Fred Griffin said, adjective overdose.

re-pricing??? I prefer "improved price"....sometimes adjectives are needed.... but the adjective must be the right one!

"Dutch clean" is another one I have come across... don't really know what that means. Very often the description does not match what I see when I walk ino the door...

Now hold on. If I was a dog, that wonderful driveway might be the perfect spot to lay down on to take a warm nap, when I am not annointing the stylish front yard with my poo and all that would certainly cause re-pricing.

PRoblems I have is
"stylish" - what style and what decade?
'wonderful" - wonderful to whom?

Nice, wonderful, cozy, won't last......
All indicated of an mentally exhausted listing agent.
Then there is the caffeine catastrophe stacking stuff like.
"...consciencely aligned with the new optics of today's buyer..."
I have to admit I want to SEE what he's writing about.
