Phoenix Station Reprints Interview With Our Broker On "Lying Listings"

A senior writer for Bankrate.com (Jay MacDonald)interviewed our company President Jon Boyd some months ago for an piece he had been working on regarding real estate language.

Specifically, the topic was stuff listing real estate people will say about their listings to try to catch the attention of home buying consumers. Hint: The positive features are often exagerated.

These phrases were collected from our National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents and the are completely authentic.

Here is what you want to consider:

If a real estate agent customarily directs expressions like these to buyers, why would you ever want somebody like at being your buyer's agent or designated buyer's agent?

Just a idea to mull over as you search for South Lyon real estate.

Ann arbor Rolling Sculpture

A view from town tonight.

Top of The Park in Ann Arbor

ToTP is an annual thing in Ann Arbor where there are a bunch of free
evening concerts and performances and it is a lot of fun.

This is the first night this year and a band called NoMo is playing a
great set.

Why don't listing agents pay attention to radon testing?

I'm out at an Ann Arbor home inspection again today and we arrived to
find the windows partially open. This is a bit frustrating because
radon tests require the home to be closed up for at least 12 hours
before the radon data is valid.

So, since the seller wasn't asked by the listing to close up the
windows we have to wait an additional 12 hours.

I'd guess that the listing agent doesn't know much about representing
buyers or he would have told the sellers.

Typical.

Does your real estate agent know what this is?

There is a controversy in the real estate business these days where a
lot of real estate agents say they don't want to know anything about
how homes work.

I think any buyer's agent should know that this indicates a high
effeciency furnace. Normally 93-96% effecient.
