Real estate office organization tip – Sharpies and tape

Lani Rosales — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 05:09:59 +0000

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 [...]

“Don’t crab appraise” – something’s fishy on the MLS

Gwen Banta — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:12:33 +0000

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 [...]

Lowering the bar – resolutions of a humorist

Gwen Banta — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 14:00:53 +0000

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

Gwen Banta — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 14:00:30 +0000

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 [...]

“The veews will blow youre mind” – MLS screw ups

Gwen Banta — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:02:10 +0000

Well, folks, I spent another week scanning the MLS and local ads while laughing my a__ off. This week’s bloopers include some very suspect offers. In fact, a few are downright threatening. As so aptly stated by Bette Davis in All About Eve, “Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.” Offers Guaranteed to Slay You “Best thing [...]

Offers you cannot-a refuse-uh [MLS Gaffes]

Gwen Banta — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 14:00:27 +0000

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 [...]

House Haunting- MLS Tricks and Treats

Gwen Banta — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 14:00:04 +0000

Halloween may be a month away, but the MLS , the LA Times, and our local real estate magazines never disappoint. This week’s offerings include trolls and witches. By the time Halloween arrives, I’m sure a few more skeletons will be leaping out of somebody’s closet! (No, Perez Hilton – not your closet.) Check ’em out: “Lake cabin under trees - enjoy [...]

Last bastion of obfuscation – real estate marketing lacks transparency

Jonathan Dalton — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 16:00:32 +0000

Take a Critical Look When was the last time you have taken a critical look at your marketing plan? Not in terms of completeness or variety or creativity but rather in terms of effectiveness. And not effectiveness in terms of whether the house sold or not, but whether the sale took place because of your marketing or by dint of [...]

Pitches with hitches to keep you in stitches

Gwen Banta — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:32:03 +0000

Ahhh, summer daze… It has been a wild week on the MLS, friends. The hot summer days must be causing heat stroke in Hollywood. Some of these head-scratchers HAD to be the result of too much sun…or too much Jagermeister. Tell me what you think: House Sales in Holly-weird “Celebrady home” (Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!) “Entertainment comes with house” (Is Uncle [...]
