"Bald touches" - Are Your Listing Remarks Missing by a Hair?

lr

Yes, it's Friday, and the Blooper Scooper is back. When you see some of the gaffes I found this week, you may want to shave your own head in protest. Check out these hysterical faux pas, friends:

Please tell me it’s a joke…

“Park at Kim’s Wart” ( Uh, not so fast - is there a hair growing out of it?)

“Blow-up sale” (Did this occur before or after you blew up your career?)”

“Electriiciity now on” (My gut says you tested the outlets with a fork.)

“Key hidden under matt” (I can only imagine where Matt’s keyhole is…)

“Dont hasittate” (Don’t drink Nyquil.)

Please tell me you don’t live in L.A

“Here it is – a buyer’s dram” (There it goes – an agent’s six-pack.)

“A correction of  statues”  (Is that when someone paints little panties on their bare, marble arses?)

“Canceleed – agent suck” (Who ever said introspection is overrated?)

“Lush on gate” (Wait for it...yep, lush just hit floor.)

“Bring the city into your home” (Like when the LAPD choppers circle overhead with their spotlights frying all living creatures?)

Okay, then just tell me you’re an only child…

“Private and ga”  (Uh, hello? Chest paddles, anyone? )

“Flos now finished” (You must be Flo…)

“Erotic plants” (Let me guess – they slither on poles?)

“Bald touches everywhere” (That’s what they say about Bruce Willis on coke.)

This week’s shocker:

“Presenting the Tajma Hall of Leases” (Presenting the idiot savant of all agents.)

 

That’s all until next week, folks. Spell and Sell!

Gwen, you got it right with that PHOTO!  Only a few people can do something like that.  What would one say "Only n Hollywood!"

Actually, Bruce, I think I dated that guy back in Jersey :)

I gotta tell you - I see the Tajima Halls of houses all over the place.  And cannot believe sometimes that people are trying to sell them!

Gwen, these are hilarious! I have one for you. Here in Virginia, we have alot of English names in our Counties and towns- York, Hampton, Suffolk, etc. And we have the Isle of Wight County...a competitor of ours ran a huge full page color ad recently for their homes in OLIVE WHITE County (seriously)...you can't make it up.

I love reading these - I always get a laugh from your comments, even more than the goofs - matt's keyhole?  testing the outlets with a fork?  haha, thanks for the chuckle.

Posted by Kat Palmiotti (Better Homes & Gardens - Rand Realty, Monroe NY Real Estate) 4 months ago

OK, that "Agent suck" comment was the best one ever.  The irony is that they're the ones that had to put it in and they couldn't even get that right.

Posted by Bryan Robertson, Real estate broker Los Altos & Silicon Valley Luxury Homes (Sereno Group) 4 months ago

Gwen -- thanks for the pick me up.  Now if we could just find matt - we could get that key (but what is the key to?)

Jay, the "Tajama Hall" is a mausoleum, and that's where a lot of listings belong!

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Hi Dick - That's because I actually got some sleep this week!!!

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Fernando, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your never-ending support!

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Debbie, Thanks for reading, and be sure to stop by my blog every Friday for more bloopers. Enjoy your weekend!

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Mark, that is positively hysterical. Hey, everyone - be sure to read Mark Edwards's comment above. I have tears in my eyes!!!

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Kat - thank YOU, and have a laughter-filled weekend.

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Bryan, I agree - the "agent suck" line was so funny I could hardly find a comment to do it justice!

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Steven, I'm not sure I want to touch that key until I know where it has been.

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Hello Gwen,

It's been a long, hard day...your bloopers were just what I needed!

I do love the chosen shocker, and my other favorite is the "private and ga"...

Have a wonderful weekend!

OMG - 've ALWAYS wanted to visit the Tajma Hall and you're so much closer than Agra, India.

HILARIOUS!  I can't believe how many times I see descriptions like this.  I love that you called them out.  Have a wonderful weekend

Lisa, don't you wonder what happened there - too many martinis?
Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago
Juli, that one came from Kentucky - centrally located for us all to see!
Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago
Derek, be sure to send them to me. I need some from your lovely neck of the woods!
Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Thank you for taking over for me when I visit the Tajma Hall to look at the erotic plants, Gwen.  The image is now totally ruined for me.

Posted by Jane Peters - Los Angeles Real Estate DRE# 01439865 (Power Brokers Int'l) 4 months ago

Gwen,

Do you think the "Bald" touched Matt's keyhole to try to find the key?

 

Posted by Patty Da Silva, CDPE BROKER- REALTOR® Davie, Cooper City, Plantation, Weston. (BROKER of Green Realty Properties® - 954-667-7253) 4 months ago

Gotta love starting the weekend with some funnies.  Thanks Gwen.  It's been a LONG week for me, so I'm happy to be sitting here laughing and smiling.  Goodness, some people really need to proofread!

Posted by Donna Foerster, Metro Denver Real Estate Agent (Rocky Mountain Real Estate Advisors) 4 months ago

But Jane, aren't you glad I'll be covering for you instead of Flo...or Kim and her infamous wart?

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Patty, I just don't want to even think about what touched Matt's keyhole...but I'm guessing that it was Flo. No wonder she's finished.

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Donna, I am so happy I could put a smile on your face. Have a great weekend!

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

Gwen - Your twist on their turn of phrase always makes me smile.

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

JANET, I SO LOVE HEARING FROM YOU. I HOPE THE LAUGHS STAY WITH YOU ALL WEEK!

Posted by Gwen Banta (Sotheby's International Realty) 4 months ago

As usual, no dictionaries or common sense to be scene? seen?

Gwen... are you sure Matt is not your old boyfriend from NJ?

Posted by Patty Da Silva, CDPE BROKER- REALTOR® Davie, Cooper City, Plantation, Weston. (BROKER of Green Realty Properties® - 954-667-7253) 4 months ago

Lyn, the answer is know, I mean no :)
