Buyer: I'm calling about Carol Ave. Tell me about it
Agent: It has some water intrusion.
Buyer: That's OK. What about the neighborhood?
Agent: It's changing. It's very fluid.
Buyer: Huh?
Agent: Let me put it this way. Do you like the Little Mermaid?
Look, we realize real esate agents are stressing for business but ummmm, dang, has it really come to this? This is a true bonafide listing for sale on the MLS. Buyer: I'm calling about Carol Ave. Tell me about it Agent: It has some water intrusion. Buyer: That's OK. What about the neighborhood? Agent: It's changing. It's very fluid. Buyer: Huh? Agent: Let me put it this way. Do you like the Little Mermaid? 3 Comments What a deal! Not only do you get a dated brown shingle home on the outside, but wow you also get a white post-modern curvy condo inside. (giggle) My initial theories on this listing: 1. Must be a Mixed Marriage: Exterior by Berkeley Hippie & Interior by SOMA Yuppie 2. The house (& probably owner) is schizophrenic 3. The person who designed the inside has something against right angles. 4. It's not just mental cognizant dissonance , it's rental cognizant dissonance What are your theories for how this dubious design came about? If I've said it once I've said it a million times, please match outside architecture with inside decor. (If you missed the memo, revisit my webcast here!) |
