Holy ****. That is pathetic. I wonder how many fines he racked up in that one listing. At least two I can see right off the bat. I'm sure I'd find more if I looked at it again.

Ugh. That is just so embarrassing.

I love those type of agents when I go on a listing appointment after the listing has cancelled / expired . It sure does make my job a lot easier.

Nothing better than showing the seller how his property was portrayed on the MLS by the "other agent," who tried to sell his house.

$10 says the seller in question doesn't even have an email account anywhere.

John makes a good point (and pretty much seconded by others) -- it's *really* important to hire a good agent. The problem of course, is much of the public doesn't really understand what qualifies as "good". The listing agent that put this dreck in the MLS may be the nicest guy on the planet. He may be a superior negotiator. Or he may be cousin Sally's best friends husband. Who knows. One thing is certain, he didn't do the best job with the MLS entry, which leads one to assume any other aspect of what he should be doing is questionable at best.

If the seller has no idea to *ask* to see the listing copy, then they have no idea what is out there (and clearly, Mr. Listing Agent didn't offer to SHOW them the MLS entry).

That's why educating the public on ALL ASPECTS of the real estate transaction, and what agents should be doing is important.

Holy Crap Jay. You really did stumble upon a beauty. This is what I like to call (at the risk of offending real-life handicapped individuals) A Retarded Realtor.

I'm guessing that whoever set up this listing is also guilty of the following:

Forwards "hilarious" emails to their entire address book

Still hasn't made the switch to eFax

Doesn't use Electronic Bill-Pay

Wears lots of gold jewelry

Has an obnoxious business card with a full-color GlamorShot circa 1983

Possibly wears a toupee/wig

Thanks for the laugh this morning.

Does this justify a poor public perception of real estate agents or more the importance of hiring an good Realtor?

And perhaps, the importance of not hiring a cheap real estate agent.

The seller... or the lister?

Thats just great, Im sure the sellers would love to know how great their listing agent is.
