August is Listing Tech thematic month at Inman. Throughout the month, we explore list technology, a conversation spanning portals to unique listing sites, landing pages, 3D tours, photographs, videos, promotions and more.
Impulse is a recurring column in which we ask readers for views on various topics in a weekly poll and report back on our findings.
Have you seen a copy of the list that, well, just misses the mark? We’re talking about listing clichés this week – you know, used, cheesy, downright cranky phrases that a lot of agents just can’t seem to stop abusing.
Here, our readers are sharing the worst of what they have seen. From bragging about a house’s âgood bonesâ to saying it âwon’t last long,â here’s everything you told us about. Are you guilty of using any of them?
- The word “charming”.
- “Dream house.”
- “Burned out with the sun.”
- âA rare offer flooded with natural light. Especially when using it’s absolutely all the lists they’ve ever had.
- âReady to move in. “
- âImpeccable basement ready for your imagination.
- âMid-centuryâ unless it is architecturally significant.
- “Stuning view!”
- “Won’t last long.”
- âSale priceâ⦠really?
- âHoney, stop the car! “This one won’t last.” DESCRIPTIONS IN CAPITAL LETTERS. Any use of “cute”, “” quaint “,” comfortable “or” good bones “.
- “Turnkey. Update.”
- “Won’t last long.”
