Un-real Estate. A guide to Estate Agent Speak.
----------------------------------------------
To spare others from dashed hopes, shattered dreams, and tired feet, here is
a guide to familiar estate agent advertising.
CHARMING - Tiny. Snow Whitemight fit, but five of the dwarfs would have to
find their own place. See "Cute," "Enchanting," and "Good Starter Home."
MUCH POTENTIAL - Grim. Steer clear unless you have a lot of money and
believe your blind dates really did have nice personalities. See "Ready to
Rehab," and "Fixer Upper."
UNIQUE CITY HOME - Used to be a warehouse.
HI-TECH/CONTEMPORARY - Lots of steel shelving with little holes - the kind
your dad used to store tools on in the basement.
DARING DESIGN - Still a warehouse.
COMPLETELY UPDATED - Avocado dishwasher and harvest gold carpeting or vice
versa.
SOPHISTICATED- Black walls and no windows. See "Architect's Delight."
ONE-OF-A-KIND - Ugly as sin.
BRILLIANT CONCEPT - Do you really need a two-story live oak in your 30-foot
sky dome? See "Makes Dramatic Statement."
UPPER BRACKET - As if you have to ask . . .
YOU'LL LOVE IT - No, you won't.
MUST SEE TO BELIEVE - An absolutely accurate statement.
