Here we go again, friends – more howls this week because agents can’t spell, or they have “ham fingers” at the keyboard, or they cannot proofread, or they type while inebriated, or they are pulling my chain. Take your pick as you check out some of these offers you can’t refuse, including a few from the Jersey Mob boys:
This Week’s Tribute to Jersey
“Villa with hellichopper pad” (Designed by celebrity chopper, Tony Soprano.)
“Submit offera now” (Said Ralphie Cifaretto, shortly before he ended up in a bowling bag.)
“This wona break you.” (Said Paulie “Walnuts” to Richie Aprile…while shoving his body through a meat grinder at Satriales’ Pork Store)
“Vacant clots” (Richie Aprile at his own funeral.)
“Four remolded rowhouses near Little Italy” (Four adjoining meat lockers at Satriale’s.)
“Next to this, others will pole” (Saturday night at the Bada Bing.)
“Contiguous plots with ocean view” (Cement-Shoes Cemetery…somewhere off the Jersey Coast)
Who Can Refuse?
“New jim” (I suspect he used to be “old Nancy.”)
“Big play aria” (I think that’s called an opera, pal.)
“This is a real jowel.” (Jaw-dropping, I’ll bet!)
“A diamond in disgust” (Talk about stoned!)
“Ranch with livestuck” (House with Brand Moo built-ins…)
Below the Belt
“Seller financing terds offered” (No s__t?)
“Front entry with pornico” (Must be 21 to enter.)
“Three lush lost near beach” (One lush found belly up near keyboard.)
“Ho ceil’gs in lvg rm” (Must be a short term “rental”…)
“Easy assess” (I’ll tell you who the a__ is!)
And Business As Usual…
“Submit business card for free grift” (Cue the music, please: “Money makes the world go ’round, the world go ’round, the world go ’round”)

You found some good ones this time!
“A diamond in disgust”
I’m thinking about working this one into the regularily used arsenal.

Rob,
“A diamond in disgust” (Talk about stoned!) – This one was my favorite one this week too! Sooo funny!
Gwen,
You get me every week with these! They really are hilarious. Nice job finding them, and even nicer job with your follow up comments!

Rob, that blooper has it’s own kind of truth, doesn’t it? It’s an even better description of a fixer than “diamond in disguise”!

Gwen! You make me howl with laughter each time you post these! (But seriously, stop looking at my listings and calling attention to my blunders, my client base is dropping by the minute.)
Love the laughter and wisdom Agent Genius brings to the real estate industry each day!

Sheila, I bet I’d never find one of these bloopers in one of your listings…but I’m not sure about my own. I type with ham fingers!

Thanks, Joe “Da Enforcer” Loomer. Here’s one for you from Tony Soprano. I use it when my rich friend complains about the cost of his Bentley, but I am sure it could be of use in real estate.:: “Oh, poor baby. What do you want, a Whitman’s Sampler?”

Alex, that one sounded like something out of the “Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” didn’t it? Creepy!

Gwen – only in the crazy world of real estate and MLS listings would we find such comedy.

All of these aren’t to be confused with the more misguided remarks that you sometimes find, like: Located in a quite cul de sac. Come to find out after a preview, yes, it is a cul de sac, but the home backs up to a large thoroughfare.
These are funny thanks for the list!

I couldn’t agree more, Paula. I’ll be back in your beautiful state in late October, just in time to enjoy the famous Indiana leaf changing, which I am so looking forward to. Hurray for the Hoosier State!

Aaron, I went to an open recently that was advertised as “backs up to a park.” When I arrived, all I could see behind the house was a vast cement area. It turns out the agent was British, and he was referring to a “car park,” but he forgot to add the word “car”!
