Okay, does your listing have good bones, right? We did talk about listing descriptions, uh huh, but that was more down to business. Very how to Yeah, and this is more like, Can y’all not get this right, right?

Katy 1:39
Or just like, sometimes they’re just clever. I do think a lot of people are using our friend chat, GPT now to do their listing descriptions. We’ll get to that later. Okay, but I don’t know that these were done that way.

Alissa 1:50
No, and we haven’t read these yet, not all of them. So it’ll be fun. Gonna

Katy 1:56
be real fun time. Do you wanna go first? Or what do you now? I’m gonna go first. We’re gonna also

Alissa 2:01
sprinkle in some actual tips to give you some sort of value today, right? But to be fair, this is light light episode. We’ll try to keep it light. Okay. Are you ready? Yes.

Katy 2:13
If you’re looking for a quaint place to raise your kids with no monster under the bed, get with a no monster under the bed guarantee, then look no further than this lovely two story property. This unhaunted home is ready to be loved for the right buyer. Call us today and set up an appointment to see this not haunted home that is not haunted,

Alissa 2:33
that makes me go it’s haunted. Was this listing description written on Halloween like, right? I need more context. Yeah, I don’t know where it came. They’re really aggressively trying to tell us it was not haunted. We also made a note to be careful about fair housing. There are some things you cannot say. Can’t say, if you’re looking for a quaint place to raise your kids, yeah, you can’t. You

Katy 2:53
can’t familiar that familial status protected. We can’t be talking about the

Alissa 2:57
fans. Can’t be talking about family and who’s gonna live here? Yeah, so heads up, okay, but good news, that one wasn’t haunted, no. Okay, great. So this next one is actually from our market, right? And the reason I caught it is because I sent this house to a client, to your buyer. The house was on 1912 Avondale, okay, I sent it to my client to look at. And she responded with, could the write up on 1912 Avondale be any cheesier or cuter? Tell us what it said. I was like. I didn’t even read it. Pictures. So the first sentence, and this is, you know, from our friend Rhett in our market, the first sentence of his description said, In 1912 the Titanic dropped to the bottom of the ocean in 1912 Avondale, your heart will drop to the bottom of your chest, because you’re going to fall in love. My client loved it. Well, it is creative. Yeah, it made you look twice. Made me go back. And I like that. It was the first line, because honestly, how many of us are reading the description. Is when Tanner and I were house hunting for ourselves all those years ago. He wanted me to read every description to him out loud, out loud in the car on the way to whatever house we were having be like, read me the description, read me the description, and I would read the whole thing. And he’d always be like, Wow, this one sounds

Unknown Speaker 4:21
awesome.

Alissa 4:24
He’s a marketer’s dream. Yeah, he is. He’s

Katy 4:26
like, I love the sound of this. Yeah. Okay. Are you ready for another one? Yep, I don’t know if I’ve heard this one, yet you will love this home more than you love everything pumpkin spice. One look and you will say, I only have pies for you, nestled in North Hills along the Capitol Greenway and across from Shelley lake, it is the cutest pumpkin. Pat pumpkin in the patch the kitchen has stainless appliances. There is an open floor plan orange. You excited to see it? Oh my gosh. Show. Thanks. Start Thursday. I’m not Cinderella, but I bet this one will be gone by midnight because it’s sugar and pumpkin spice and all things nice.

Alissa 5:08
Wow, that’s really in the fall spirit. Really in the fall spirit. These are real listing descriptions. Do you have any

Katy 5:16
notes? I think it’s hilarious, pumpkin. I mean, you know, honestly, if people are into pumpkin spice, and that’s what’s going on there, yeah, it’s memorable. Makes you talk about it, don’t you want people to remember your listing, right? I mean, maybe they’ll share it because they thought the description was funny to someone who they didn’t even know was looking for a house. Yeah, Stranger things have happened.

Alissa 5:39
Okay, I’ll read this next one. Okay, here it is, literally the worst house on the street. Oh, well, that’s the one you’re supposed to buy. The seller has done the hard work of cleaning up the almost half acre property. It only took seven dumpsters. So now is your chance to take it from here. Have you ever watched HGTV and thought I could do that? If so, pack up your take measure and start Googling how to identify a load wearing, load bearing wall, because it’s time to put your money where your mouth is. The roof leaks, the floor creaks, and there’s a terrible draft. But this three bedroom, one and a half bath home is very open concept, and by that we mean the inside is open to the outside because several windows are broken. There is a large sunny window in the kitchen and absolutely nothing else, a wonderful feature for someone who is interested in a bright reading space and ordering takeout for every meal. Now, I know you’ve heard of a detached garage, but have you ever heard of a detached foundation? Oh, because that’s what you’ll find here in the large bonus room at the right of the home. If you’re looking for a house that screams, I’ve got bizarre and ominous energy, then, Honey, stop the car because you found it right here, conveniently located off of Highway 301, if you need a place to stage your next post apocalyptic zombie movie, this is it the covered porch has really good rest here on your way to the safe zone. Vibes, and whether you like to turn up the heat or keep it cool, it won’t matter, because there’s no HVAC system. Oh, and don’t forget, the brick chimney that perfectly epitomizes how we all feel after 2020 about to collapse and going nowhere. Literally, there is no fireplace inside this house. What else can be said about this one of a kind opportunity? It’s not in a flood zone and will be conveyed with clear title, but we don’t have a survey, and the seller has never seen the property, so buyers are strongly encouraged to do their own due diligence. If you’re not interested in crying yourself to sleep every night while you rehab this home. Might we suggest tearing it down and building a brand new one in its place? The neighbors would gladly Thank you. Oh, my word. That was fun. First of

Katy 7:51
all, I love that it had rhyming like the roof leaks and the floor creeks. Yeah, that was pretty catchy. It was super catchy. Well, wow, son, but that was really long too. Yeah, it was long. Your this commitment to read one that long? Should

Alissa 8:05
we switch over to some phrases? Sure, go for it realtor, phrases that you might find in the listing description, like what it says versus what it actually means. Yeah, it’s a blank canvas. Means gutted. It’s real blank probably, you know, just gotta make the space your own. Means, needs a lot of work. Needs a lot of work. Bring your ideas,

Katy 8:28
like, like, we don’t know how to stage this. Means it’s a weird floor plan.

Alissa 8:36
We have no idea how to stage this house, this,

Katy 8:39
oh, oh, no. Lots of craftsman charm. Lots

Alissa 8:43
of craftsman charm means nothing has been updated since it was built.

Katy 8:47
I love it. How about pick up a paintbrush? Like it has lots of funky letters, you know, we call that here. What like, I’ll be like a Skittles house, like, when all the rooms are like a different color, that’s what I say. Dr Seuss lives here,

Alissa 9:01
there you go. Yeah, right. Opportunity to capture some sweat equity.

Katy 9:07
It says it needs a lot of work, but not major stuff. I don’t know that. I would automatically think it was not major stuff.

Alissa 9:14
Yeah, I guess sweat equity means yourself DIY stuff. I guess plenty of room for the kids and dogs to play. Expect to spend a lot of time mowing. Now this is going to be quite an

Katy 9:27
undertaking. Quite

Alissa 9:27
an undertaking. Okay, fascinating. For some good ones, we’ll do a few more in a minute. Okay, great. Do you want to read the next one?

Unknown Speaker 9:36
I will okay.

Alissa 9:38
If you like the outdoors, then you will love the missing windows, allowing the cool breeze to flow naturally through the home, saving on energy bills. Wow, that was just a snippet, but I’m like, What in the world? Oh, I like this one. If you think someone else’s trash is another person’s treasure, then bring your dumpster. This owner was so excited about Mark. Getting this beauty, they hurried out and left all their trash behind for you treasure. You don’t need a dumpster. They’re saying it could be your treasure. Yeah, just come get it. Keep it. Keep this stuff through it.

Katy 10:11
Okay? If you’re a fan of horror flicks and the supernatural, you will love the creepy feel this home has, with all the creaky boards, cold walls and, of course, the haunted exterior look with broken siding, weeds growing into the home, and you will also save time scraping off lead based paint being half of it is already missing. Wow,

Alissa 10:30
already missing. This makes me think of a story. Okay, please tell us one time me and my dad came across a family friend who inherited a house, okay, in a really great neighborhood, his his mother passed away. They were the only owners of this house. The house was like 80 something years old, okay, it was not in good shape towards the end. It was like needing a lot of repairs. But seriously, did have a lot of craftsman charm. It really did. It really did. It also had a funky floor plan, okay, but anyway, the price that he was thinking about me and my dad were like, should we flip this together? Okay? And it was kind of a sticky situation, because we didn’t want to upset our friend, right, with a low ball offer, so we sort of put a feeler out there at a number, and quickly realized, no, he’s, he’s not going to do this. So I listed it. Okay? An investor came along and bought it. I was kind of grieving that I didn’t get to buy it. So it was nearby, so I would drive by periodically to just watch. I was stalking the renovation. Okay? I was just being a stalker. So I would see like, oh, there’s all the laminate flooring at the street, and this is here, and oh, there’s the old kitchen sink, and all, look at all the there’s all the toilet. And then one day I drove by and the house was gone, and I was like, Oh, it had been, like, months that they were renovating it. So I called the listing agent, and I was like, what happened? And or not? The listing agent, the buyer’s agent, I was the listing agent. I was like, what happened? And she was like, he found some powder post beetles and termites that had eaten so much of the house that it was beyond repair, and we’re just gonna have to tear it down. And now somebody bought it from him for just the price of the lot, just the price of the lot. So he lost money. He lost money. They cleared the land and now a beautiful new construction actually, it was a pretty decent sized lot, two beautiful new construction houses sit where that house used to. How long ago was

Katy 12:51
this like? 2012

Alissa 12:54
2013 Yeah. Isn’t that wild? That is wild. I know I would not have thought that is what was gonna hopefully, they

Katy 13:03
had to put much back into demoing.

Alissa 13:07
Like, I don’t think they had bought things yet, but they had definitely made a lot of

Katy 13:12
demoed a lot more a lot more differently, yeah, if they knew it’s just gonna, they would have been like, yeah, push it over instead of take out the floor. Yeah, take out the toilets. Be like No, bye. Wowzone. Okay. How about the open double entry staircase in this home leads to a kitchen that is suitable for the buyer who does not like to cook, but the owner took the appliances and floor with them, but left behind a set of pots and pans, in case you have a change of heart later. Oh my gosh.

Alissa 13:43
That is hilarious. So funny, suitable for the buyer who does not like to cook. Yeah,

Katy 13:49
you know, do you want to order takeout for every meal? This is your health. That’s the repeat theme. Okay, do you want to do some more swaps? Yeah, because we only have one more I think. Actual listing, okay, funny description, okay, needs a lot of TLC equals cash buyers only. Oh, okay, yeah. Or mean, like, needs a lot of TLC is a lot. What it says needs a little TLC. It means it needs a lot of TLC. Yeah, TLC

Alissa 14:14
is, like, cash, yeah, for sure,

Katy 14:18
lots of potential equals this home is a total money.

Alissa 14:23
What unique urban home? The building used to be an industrial location, okay?

Katy 14:29
One of a kind, one of a kind equals beyond ugly. Oh, I

Alissa 14:33
have a beyond one of a kind, listening right now you Oh, no, wait still, yeah,

Katy 14:40
the one with the bad, bad floor. Well, I guess that makes sense. Yeah, okay, dude, Number 12 must

Alissa 14:47
see to believe means you won’t believe how awful it

Katy 14:51
is. You won’t believe it. Starter home equals needs a ton of work. So bid low. I mean, I don’t know that starter home could also. Possibly mean just the size of the home was smaller,

Alissa 15:02
yeah, I just think it’s like a smaller square footage, yeah,

Katy 15:06
hmm, okay, sprawling ranch equals crazy floor plan that probably isn’t open. Well, it’s 100% not open,

Alissa 15:14
right? It’s growing Ranch, all right. You do spacious means probably smaller than you would like, yeah,

Katy 15:21
probably smaller than you would like.

Alissa 15:23
It is a good adjective to throw in there, though spacious, oh and charming, definitely smaller than you would want, right? Cozy is bad. Cozy charm.

Katy 15:32
Cozy is next. Cozy. Cozy. Have you heard of the tiny house movement

Alissa 15:39
that’s so funny, cozy. All right, do you want to go back to the last one? Yeah, I’ll read the last one. Please do. Built 80 years ago. This hidden gem boasts a rich history and character that you simply can’t find in modern builds. The exteriors 40 year old roof has developed a beautiful patina of moss, oh, giving the home a unique, natural esthetic. Inside the walls exhibits a Oh. Inside the walls exhibit a vintage patina from years of smoking telling a story of times gone by. I can smell this house. How romantic. So romantic.

Katy 16:19
Oh, my, the patina from smoking. No, thank you. Now you have your

Alissa 16:27
sellers fill out a top 10, yes. So the

Katy 16:32
they the top 10 list is structured as top 10 of your home, okay, about your home, and then top 10 about it says your community. So it could be, you know, things that are about your neighborhood, or things that are located nearby, or whatever. Okay, and I have the seller fill those out as part of their listing documents. I put that document into their binder that goes in the house for showings. I put it on the MLS, you know, as a doc or whatever, so people could see what did the seller like about this house. But most importantly, I cut and paste all of those things or type them in if they hand wrote them into chat GPT and say, Please write a listing description for a three bedroom, two bath cottage in this desirable neighborhood with whatever like. I’ll just say a couple of quick things that I think are important, and then I using these quality, these, these details, and then I’ll cut and paste in everything. The seller said, Yes. Then it puts it all together, and then I edit it, yes, right? But then it’s easier than me trying to figure out, okay, how do I work all this random stuff in that the seller told me, like, let’s just let AI organize it, and

Alissa 17:44
then I’ll be like, Oh, this really, and then you can make it sound like you. Yeah, you

Katy 17:47
do not ever want to cut and paste directly from chat. GPT, a listing description. While I do think this is a good tool for you to use so you’re not. I mean, it used to and I’d like to write, and it would still take me 30 minutes or more to write a listing description, because you have to find the words right, right? Well, here’s the problem. Chat. GPT found the words for you, but he found them. She, he, she, it. Found them from everyone else who’s already written them. So there’s some of them are so um, overused, yeah, you know what I mean, like showstopper or like these words that you would never say, or that it’s like this sounds like every other listing description. I think you want to use it to help you, like, get it all in, but also then edit the freaking words. Yeah, you can’t just how do you write your do you use? I do it, um,

Alissa 18:39
my first sentence, I always try to hit the highlights, yeah, like this four bedroom home, plus an office sits on the lake in the gated community of Jamestown, right? But you should have

Katy 18:51
put in 1912 the Titanic saying, yeah.

Alissa 18:57
So I’m always just trying to hit the highlights first sentence. I don’t want there to be a lot of fluff, because then people won’t read it, right? Isn’t it funny? Like, I’m writing to my audience of me, yeah? Like, I’m just like, if it’s too long, I’m not gonna read we gotta get out as much as we can, right? So I’m like, but I’m trying to be to the point I know of what it actually does have, right? And then I try to like, so I always start off with that sentence, and then walking in, you will be greeted with

Katy 19:24
kind of like, as if you were narrating the video of the house, yes, right? Like, as if we were walking through it in succession, like we’re not jumping all around, right? I think that’s a perfect way to do and then

Alissa 19:36
I usually end it with to top it off, and then I add the things I couldn’t find a spot for.

Katy 19:42
Here’s some miscellaneous sh, like,

Alissa 19:44
to top it off. The home is never flooded, doesn’t require flood insurance, and only has a three year old roof. You got it all in there, right? Like, good for you. I To top it off. Yeah, that’s my bonus ending. Yeah, when I have

Katy 19:58
extra I love the ones that. Say this one won’t last long, you know, yeah, 60 days on the market later. I’m like, maybe just take out the sentence, right? I think you should take out or use something that’s more like, Schedule your showing today. Mm, hmm. Like, give them a next action, right? Call to Action. Yeah, not okay. Do you want to hear some more swaps? Yes, not

Alissa 20:20
swaps, but what they mean some real,

Katy 20:23
real, real, real definitions, walking distance to shopping equals no parking available, so you have to walk. It’s crazy. I don’t

Alissa 20:32
know parking, I don’t agree. I think of like capital heights, right?

Katy 20:35
Walking distance to shopping, you’re like, no one would ever walk, but you could, natural setting equals deer and rabbits will eat your landscape. Deer

Alissa 20:45
and rabbits will eat your landscaping. Natural setting park like setting, you will have a tree, no matter how small. All right, sure.

Katy 20:52
Why not? Secluded setting. Don’t count on your GPS actually

Alissa 20:58
finding it. Follow the actual instructions. Oh,

Katy 21:01
my God, that reminds me of a story I had a listing not far from here, actually, that for whatever reason, the GPS, when you put it in, it was on it backed up to a bayou. Okay, so a body of water, like a river or stream, like not a passable body of water, that GPS always took people to the other side of the body of water. Oh no. So it’s like you literally, you were actually probably 15 to 20 minutes away from

Alissa 21:30
house when you thought you were there. Yeah. How’d y’all fix that? I

Katy 21:34
didn’t sell it. Oh no. It never sold ever. I think he still lives there. Oh my gosh. Like, 20 years ago, can we look it up after this? Sure. Am I right? I mean, it was like, you couldn’t, and then people would be like, Hey, I can’t find it because you’re in the wrong. I think I probably said something in the notes, or told people that we didn’t have that many showings, and it was a gated community, and I feel like maybe I even had to be there, and it was a very short lived listing, but I mean, y’all,

Alissa 22:04
wow, yeah. Well, that kind of goes into this one, um, executive, neighborhood taxes are through the roof. Executive,

Unknown Speaker 22:13
is

Alissa 22:14
that some kind of, does that mean, like, exclusive, like, like, high end, like, expensive,

Katy 22:20
is it? This is not terminology I have ever heard used here executive neighborhood.

Alissa 22:25
Also, this one says upper bracket, if you have to, if you have to ask you can’t afford it. I guess I would

Katy 22:31
never put any of those things in testing. It’s rude, and I feel like we’re pushing some sort of, yeah, boundary here, right?

Alissa 22:41
I guess it’s not any kind of familial status, right? But it’s like, you don’t make enough money to live here. I don’t like it, yeah, I don’t like

Katy 22:48
it. Bright and sunny, equals the window coverings are not included. There you go. Lots of natural light was the next one. It’s like light bulbs are count as natural. No, no.

Alissa 23:00
You won’t believe the size of the closets means because they are the size of a shoe box, that’s

Katy 23:06
really funny, like they I didn’t say whether you’d believe it in a good way or a bad way. I just said you won’t believe it. Just won’t believe it. Original hardwood floors probably aren’t salvage, in salvageable shape. I don’t know. I don’t want to believe that. Do the next one, open

Alissa 23:21
floor plan equals doors are optional. Don’t

Katy 23:26
agree? Great. Home office space equals the Nook under the stairs is the office space.

Alissa 23:32
Oh, yeah, I know what my Nook under the stairs is, what Dante’s bed? Oh, that’s right, duh. I took the door off. They had a desk. Yeah, they had a desk, like built in there. Okay, we took it out and took the door off and put a dog gate on it, and we got the vinyl LVP and did the wall, yeah, so I could VP gray it. LVP is luxury vinyl plank. Okay, we did the wall. And now, because he slobbers, you know, we can spray it and wipe it down. Because it was just sheet rock, right? It was getting gross. It’s cute in there.

Katy 24:08
It is cute in there. I like that. My under the stairs is just a closet, like most people’s, yeah, just a closet. But it also opens to the garage, so it’s not like, Oh, that’s nice. Not Yeah, yeah. It’s an extra, really perfect. Um, waterfront location equals the bird bath and the front yard has water in it. No, no, no, no, no. Some of those were funny, though, those are fun. Okay, now I found an article on the real estate Doctor website. Oh, it’s a blog, okay? Seven common listing mistakes, so let’s talk them through and see if we agree. Number one being vague and generic,

Alissa 24:49
yeah, when it really doesn’t tell you my nobody wants to read the same old three bedroom, two bath, open floor plan, natural light, neutral. Tell me something else. Else, yeah, details number two, neglecting to proofread and edit. Oh, Lord, I would agree. Yeah, I’ve caught mistakes that have been there forever. Yeah? Like, I didn’t catch it, my seller didn’t catch it, then you saw it later, yeah? Or someone brought it up, but then I’m like, well, nobody said anything. Maybe I’m the first person no one reads maybe

Katy 25:21
no one’s reading it. Yeah, okay. Number three, failing to highlight key features, especially, especially if it’s not something you can photograph. Like, if this house has some kind of high efficiency windows or appliances or some sort of special insulation, like we can’t see that in the photo, yeah, you really have to explain it. Kind of tell them in the description, all right, over hyping or exaggerating, misleading district descriptions erode trust and credibility. Which does make sense like, Well, you said there was a huge backyard, but y’all think about how that goes through the whole transaction. Well, you said it was a huge backyard. It’s certainly not huge, and then we decided to buy it because it works for us. It’s not we didn’t care, but we don’t trust you, right? As an eight like, you’re, you’re

Alissa 26:08
a lot, you’re, have you ever like, I’ve never written a funny listing description, no, I think I have written one or two where I was like, investment opportunity. This house needs a lot of TLC, right? And like, been very to the point, have you ever had a seller be upset about that, or want you to fluff up something? I just wasn’t sellers

Katy 26:31
asked me to add things that weren’t in there, but never been like, No, this, this is not the angle like, but that doesn’t happen that often. If it’s a house that needs to be renovated, and I put it in there, we were all in agreeance, that’s what it is. Yeah, I wouldn’t like say that about a house they were living in and thought was fine. They’d be like, full gut Reno opportunity, right? They would be like, what? But I do make sure they read it, yeah. And I do make sure that they give me like anything I missed or want to change. But again, people don’t read these that much. Yeah, pictures are more important. Pictures are so much more important, which is why I’m really hard on myself about making sure I get the labels on the pictures, because if I do need to tell them something that the photo doesn’t show, I try to put it in the photo description, right? Okay, number five on the reminders for your listing description was ignoring SEO opportunities. So, like, using keywords, you know, if there’s a specific neighborhood, like all these things that the the Google machines gonna search, right? Like gated community, right? Okay, right, make sure that’s in there, providing insufficient information.

Come take a look. Won’t last long, right?

Katy 27:49
Also, please. For the love of everything, not all caps. No, no, not all caps. Don’t yell

Alissa 27:55
at people. I know it’s easier

Katy 27:57
for you to read, maybe, but it is not good, no. And number seven was neglecting visual content. You need professional photos. Which pictures are way more important? I thought it was so funny in the seven common listing, description mistakes, the number seven was, you didn’t have professional photos. They were like, forget the tips.

Alissa 28:18
Yeah, you need the photos. Pictures looking good. You need the photos.

Katy 28:23
That’s really all I have to say about

Alissa 28:25
this. Yeah, that was a nice, easy one. You know, go out. If y’all have

Katy 28:29
a funny listing description you have written or seen or come across, please send them to us. I would be happy to do a second installment with even more funny ones, because I just think it’s hilarious. Yeah, what people will do. But people have gotten very creative, I think, yes, which I think is great. You want as many eyes as possible on your listing. If a creative listing description helps you like it becomes viral, people are sharing it. Or craze the photos whenever someone dresses in, like, the blow up dinosaur, and it’s in like, every room, yeah? Or, like, some kind of find it, right? It’s like, it’s a thing, oh, I have seen people do, like, find the hidden Christmas like, stocking or something when it’s like, a holiday time, or like, find the Mardi Gras bead in this room. Or, like, you could do some you could gamify your listing, right? Yeah, you can do a lot of things. But most importantly, I think you want to be creative, yes, and be thorough and don’t take it too seriously. Yeah, most people aren’t even reading it. Anything else for you?

Alissa 29:36
No, I don’t think so. Oh, great. Well, guess, well, we’ll say that’s it. Let’s have a toast. Have a toast. Okay, bye.
