“House has spark” – burning up the MLS with typos and other bloopers
The year is starting a march toward its natural ending, friends…and it seems a few real estate careers may be also. This week I found some real head-scratchers in local real estate ads and the MLS. However, I get submissions from all over the U.S., so no one is safe from the eyes of the Blooper Scooper. Check out these blunders: Do You Smell Smoke? “House ...
“New bd pans inc” – Making a Splash on the MLS
I have two things to say this week: 1. When you drink, you can’t think. 2. When you drink you can’t- … uh, what was I saying? Oh, yes – the MLS. It was so full of bloopers this week that I am led to conclude that happy hour started Monday and never stopped. Read these and tell me if it is any ...
Real estate office organization tip – Sharpies and tape
Keeping organized I used to be obsessed with the P-touch machine. I labeled everything. Drawers, shelves, folders, canisters, and anything that I could think of putting a label on. But the label makers weren’t as pretty as my own handwriting and didn’t come in every color a Sharpie does, so I got the brilliant idea one day to write in ...

Lenders, Liars and Losers – Observations of a Humorist
I don’t know about you, but I am on the verge of a breakdown. Why? Because I am so frustrated with the lending institutions that I have developed a drool, a twitch, and a wicked rash. I truly think the lending institutions are hindering our economic recovery. The bailout money is not translating into increased sales as far as I ...
“Don’t crab appraise” – something’s fishy on the MLS
Ya’ know folks, I think I should get paid for being Captain of the MLS Police Force. I have so much activity that I’m pulling overtime. The good news is that there are a few perks: laughter, and a lot of blackmail material. Oh, and Lani and Benn made me a police hat out of a moldy old fruit cake. Thanks to Fred ...
“Toke All Offers” – And Other Colorful MLS Propositions
There’s a party going on, and somehow – thanks to the MLS – we all got invited. Call me mellow yellow, but is there a strange skunk-like smell in the room? Be careful reading this – you may get a contact high: The Brownies Taste Strange, and The Party Is Just Getting Started… “Dining area w/ baguette” (For buyers who ...
Lowering the bar – resolutions of a humorist
Aaaraugh! This is the time of year when we are faced with New Year’s resolutions, and I am hopelessly stumped. I try to set the bar low for myself, as I am notorious at tripping over the line within minutes of heralding the new year. I cannot stick to diets, and gym plans are about as realistic for me as a martini ...
“Priced to Cell” and other MLS dingalings
What a week – the fun never stops when it comes to MLS bloopers! Thanks to the always funny Matt Stigliano of Texas and Philadelphia’s Fred Glick for their contributions. And thanks also to Anna Altic for the strange real estate ad she spotted in Nashville. (I’m still trying to translate that one.) Check out these gaffs if you want to begin your New Year with ...
Caught With Your Pants Down? (MLS Bloopers)
Well, friends, it was a rough week in real estate advertising and MLS listings. Pants were dropped, illegal substances were aplenty, and bodily functions needed attention. There’s no time like the present to fess up if any of the following bloopers were yours. Christmas is coming, and I have a list of people who will be receiving coal in their ...
The Devil Made Me Do It! (MLS Mayhem)
Ahhh…the Blooper Trooper is ba-a-a-ck! I simply never run out of material thanks to the MLS, the LA Times and other print media sources. Thanks to this week’s contributors: Janie Nagy of Manhattan Beach and Bruce Walter, my Hoosier State friend and contributor. It’s nice to know that the gaffs are not just in L.A. We have an image problem ...
“Gas not corrected” and other MLS stinkers
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 ...
“Here Today, Goblin Tomorrow!” MLS Humor
It’s getting closer to Goblin Day, friends, so I thought I’d show you some of the Halloween treats provided by our always dependable MLS. Some of these will haunt a few spelling-challenged agents to their graves: Scare Tactics and Fanatics “Seller wants a rabid close” (Thank you, Cujo.) “No showings until carving” (That’s caravan, you turkey.) “Hair is the one we’ve ...
