I'll bet Mimi Foster could even write a better one, but that was creative and clearly it worked, they're in contract!

I think the bigger question is what are you doing on Zillow? 😂

Fun stuff Kat, I'll give this listing an A+, the creative writing is HUGELY entertaining!

Someone with a sense of humor. 

I think that it was that week that Snoopy was a Real Estate writer on Peanuts that he wrote that Kat Palmiotti .

What a doofus.  uh-haaa #loosing

Tucked behind a berm on an exclusive North Buckhead street, there sits a dark and mysterious, mid-century ranch. Her low-pitch roofline entices you to throw your car in reverse and roll down your window. What is she hiding behind those clerestory windows and walnut panel front door? You pick up your phone and dial your agent's number. Your wife is sitting next to you scrolling through the pictures on Zillow when she lets out a low-pitched moan. "WHAT? What is it ??" You impatiently ask... "it's HUGE..." She says. "What's Huge?" You grab her phone. You're both hovering over the phone in your car, you need to get into this house ASAP. On a scale from 1 to 10, it's a 15. You've been sifting through 1990's McMansions and farmhouse wannabes for the past 3 months, all in search of THIS home. Your agent arrives, 2 minutes too late. There's already another set of buyers, who just pulled up and are getting out of their red Tesla. You can smell their trust fund 50 feet away. They pretend not to see you, as you walk by. But you can tell from their smirk they're prepared to pay $250k over list price. "Game on." You whisper. You grab your agents hand and start to run, then sprint to the house. You're going to get in first! Pushing past the front door you're greeted by the most dramatic foyer you've ever experienced with an original brick staircase, flanked by brass sculpted handrails and two planters. "LOCK THE DOOR!" You yell. Stepping into the living room your jaw hits the floor and your tongue rolls out of your mouth. Why don't they build houses like this anymore? The windows, the paneling, the square-shaped, black brick that adorns the fireplace. The eye candy in this home is unreal. You walk over to the wall of windows and gaze out the back into the sea of green leaves and there it is - the biggest pool you've ever seen. It's HUGE... Say hello to 4207 McClatchey Cir. where dreams of lounging on pink, flamingo floats really do come true. Heading out of the house you let the other buyers know, it's too late, you just got off of the phone with the sellers and they've accepted your offer. Bu-Bye now. #winning

Beautiful home. Definitely someone with a creative mind or a lot of time on their hands.  Thanks Lyn Sims for posting the write up. 

One person does - not sure I would stretch that far. 

 Burn your listing into their memory with this silly story. 

   It must have worked, it's under contract.

Creative Writing 101

I would say someone that knows their local market as it is now pending.

This makes me want to read more of her listing descriptions. LOL 

As for including the link, you need to go to the box below the actual question where it allows "more details".

Kat Palmiotti - How to create a link:

1) Type in your Title that you want to use for your link (it doesn't have to match).
2) Click on the paperclip (next to the image link)
3)A box comes up that reads "Insert/Edit Line URL____________
4) copy the URL link and drop it into the URL blank.
Anyone reading your post should be able to click on your title will get the article immediate without using the entire address for the link.

As for the Description - there are many characters that can't be used by my MLS and we have a limit to our property description. 

I wish that I was that creative, haha.  Actually, I can remember a previous listing that I had and one of my clients wanted to write a script for the video and then have one of my friends that has an incredible voice read it.  I really like how that video turned out.

Kat - she had a sense of humor and a nonchalant approach. It worked although not my style. What would Marte Cliff say?

Well well well you caught me! I do this secretly in certain parts of the country LOL!!!

Well, it is a stunning house.  Full 65 photo tour below.

O FFS LOL

Well it's under contract LOL

A couple of agents in my market do.  One in my office.

Well, it got over 73k views! I think it worked. Although, if all listings were written this way it would be monotonous. 

Someone that is aspiring to be an author.   With only one photo?    Must be a dump on the inside.

Stories sell Kat Palmiotti what drama!  I agree with Alan May theater of the mind.  kudos on the sale😎

That's what we used to call "Theatre of the mind".  Personally, I love it.

We don't have that much room in our MLS to put in a description that long.

Apparently it works

Did the buyer notice it's right on a major highway?

I can say I've never ever read such a bizarre description 

That is a crack up and, look at that, 74,000 views in 12 days and under contract.  Maybe I need to take a creative writing class too.

Thanks, Thomas J. Nelson, REALTOR ® e-Pro CRS RCS-D Vets and Brian L. Sirota, Esq.! There is no question that a carefully worded description can make a listing go viral. Yesterday I listed my eighth deal as a result of the Hell House, several of them over $1M (which is good in our market). I appreciate "storytelling" in home descriptions. And might I say I love the relationships that have lasted for over a decade here in the Rain? You guys are the best!

Not many agents write like that. It could have ended worse, When they ran past Tesla driver, the Tesla couple chased after them and tackled them before they reached the front door. then the Tesla couple climbed over them, and got in first, kept the key, locked the deadbolt, and made offer that was accepted.

funny, lets see if it sells

When investing in 'creative' it becomes essential to know how the various syndication sites will treat such descriptive.
Some simply ignore the agent creative and substitute text taken from the vital statistics and sounds like every listing read. 
"This 3 BR, 3 Ba house with 21000 square feet was constructed in 1985. blah, blah, and blah."
My creative purpose is the dictate the context in which the house will be discussed. My examples are the "Babe Ruth' house and the "Rooster" house. IN either case the conversation would not be about 725 SF or the garage conversion, respectively.
What was the 'memory hook" or control the text established in the example? 
I am aware, SUCCESS has the final word, and that house went fast. Was it the creative or the market?
But without a doubt, that creative brought a smile to the face of 1,000 real estate agents.

A Comedian?  That would be my first guess.  LOL

Long read but interesting writing. 

Hahaha Kat, everyone is different on how they do things.
