This week’s MLS and real estate ads had a distinct odor, friends. From gas to dryrot, it seems homes are becoming offensive. Moral of this blog: You can’t sell it if you can smell it!

Something’s Rotten in the State of Denmark

“Gas not corrected” (Perhaps you should try Beano.)

“New deposit roof” (I suspect it’s crappy work.)

“There’s dry rot in eve” (News alert, Adam – you’re no Clooney yourself.)

“Nice crone molding” (Is the crone named Eve?)

“Rehabed bungalow in sa fpart of Venice” (‘Doubt it – most fparts are deadly.)

Celebrity Rehabbed

“Upstairs area uplifted.” (Hey guys – Pamela Anderson got a new set of who-whoos.)

“What a breaut!” (Said Clay Aiken while hanging Adam Lambert’s photo on his wall.)

“Call for affirmation” (Okay, Sally Field – I like you already!)

“Tub flew in from Italy.” (Welcome back, Roseanne.)

“Please do not handel the roses.” (No Chopin ‘em either?)

All Aboard the Titanic

“Plans drowned for new landscaping” (Methinks this one is sunk from the get-go.)

“Beautiful cabinets and fizzures” (Designed by San Andreas, I presume.)

“New lettucework and bar on patio” (Must be a salad bar)

“Newly upgrated” (Sounds pretty cheesy to me.)

Last Rites

“A home worth baaging” (Bag ‘em and tag ‘em  – this listing was DOA.)

I wear several hats: My mink fedora real estate hat belongs to Sotheby’s International Realty on the world famous Sunset Strip. I’M not world famous, but I've garnered a few Top Producer credits along the way. I also wear a coonskin writer's cap with an arrow through it, having written a few novels and screenplays and scored a few awards there, too. (The arrow was from a tasteless critic.) My sequined turban is my thespian hat for my roles on stage, and in film and television, Dahling. You can check me out in all my infamy at LinkedIn, LAhomesite.com, SherlockOfHomes, IMDB or you can shoot arrows at my head via email. I can take it.
