Ann Arbor Buyer Agent Quoted on CBS News about Home Listing Language

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ann Arbor, MI, November 2, 2015
Released just in time for Halloween, ten Signs of a Scary Real Estate Listing, a recent write-up by Ilyce Glink, borrowed wisdom and suggestions from Home Buyer’s Agent of Ann Arbor broker Jon Boyd. Noting 10 prime misleading phrases often utilised in home advertisements, the write-up was verily an expose on the real meaning behind trending word selections in descriptions for residences for sale.

From “All work has been done for you” subtly referring to a home flipped with low-quality supplies to the effects of “As is” listings , the write-up explored the subtext of these common phrases utilised by real estate agents to artfully describe their listings. Boyd, a veteran of the pursuit of honest disclosure in home selling, was pleased to lend his experience to this write-up, and Glink utilised several of his anecdotes to illustrate the often-misleading terminology. “We believe Ilyce Glink is great”, Boyd mentioned. “She has been a wonderful consumer writer for many years and I even have one of her real estate books in our meeting space bookshelf. When her staff asked me for some input for this write-up I did every thing I could to help them out.”

Jon Boyd went on to say that “The language of listings is often confusing to home buyers, sometimes intentionally…Buyers need to understand that the purpose of the listing agent’s remarks is to get you in the home and buy the house, not to inform you and certainly not to disclose things that would direct you away from a house that you could possibly buy. It is not an exact science, but buyers should remember it is an advertisement for the home. It is not objective.”
