Top 10 Things Realtors Say and What They Really Mean

Real estate agents, love them or loathe them, if you’re thinking of buying or renting a house, you’re bound to find yourself wading through some of their ‘euphemistic terminology’ (that’s selling blurb to you and me). Here’s a fun look at the top ten things they say and what they really mean:

  1. Many original features:

    Nobody's spent a penny on this dump since it was built.
  2. Bijou interior:

    So small you couldn't swing a cat in it.
  3. Extensive Gardens:

    Know a gardener who can work all day for peanuts? You're going to need one.
  4. In need of some modernizing:

    Warning, Danger! This is a Money pit.
  5. Up and coming Neighborhood:

    Drive-by shootings were actually down last month.
  6. Delightful Neighbors:

    Busybody alert. Watch out for the Nosy Parker across the road.
  7. Wonderful Beamed Ceilings:

    If you're over 6 feet tall, buy a crash helmet.
  8. Victorian Sash Windows:

    This house has never even seen a Double Glazing Panel.
  9. Excellent catchment area:

    At least 10% extra has already been added to the selling price.
  10. Study/Bedroom:

    You can just about fit a computer or a single bed in here and that's it.
