"Estate", this word is used very inappropriatly here in south Florida. In my world you can't hear your neighbors TV if you live on an estate!

I'd venture to guess if the agent is getting $50 million listings they're doing things right : )

 

Any word that sugar coats a property's negatives furrows my brow.

That is one word I have to agree with you about, Annette. Never did understand how an inanimate object could "boast." My other "biggie" is "gourmet kitchen."

I think one picture is worth a thousand words.  There is only one outside picture in the MLS and the home is listed for $30,000 and the agent starts with....."This is a great deal on this affordable home....."

3rd person present: boasts
  1. 1.
    talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities.

  2. 2.
    (of a person, place, or thing) possess (a feature that is a source of pride).

I'm just upset the listing doesn't say "Co-Listed with Ryan Huggins"  LOL!!    I gave up trying to make sense of realtor comments in the mls.  We're limited to 1,000 characters here, so sometimes you have to use dumb words to save space.
