Showing Instructions

Every so often there is something really funny on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Most of the time it is a really poorly worded, or the spelling is atrocious. For some reason, folks CANNOT spell the word STRICTLY. (always misspelled STRICKLY/STRICLY!) Sometimes the person just plain failed out of grammar school- like this posting that I borrowed from fellow realtor buddy's blog- James Downing:

REMARKS


General/Agent:


Very clean and shine condo for a piggy buyer, totally renovated and new appliance: stove, ground count, 2 sinks, dishwasher, microwave , wall to wall paint and fresh, molding, 2 bedrooms, new a/c school and bus stop cross the street, and more. Show and sale


Today, I saw yet another 'strange but funny' entry in the agent's remarks on an MLS listing:

REMARKS
General/Agent:
There are 2 small dogs-1 in kennel, 1 roaming free. Free 1 is "Jack." When you enter the condo, acknowledge Jack by saying his name and act like you know him. Take a milk bone from the box on your right as you enter, drop it on the floor and say, "Good boy Jack." He will follow you around. Don't pet him, just ignore him after that or say, "you're a good boy, Jack." Ignore the one in the kennel.


That's it.... no details on the condo listed.

Hmmmmmm..... I wonder if Jack's for sale.
