Bad Realtor Jokes

Why do appraisers carry a wasp in their hand?Value is in the eye of the bee holder.

A client bought a new home and the broker wanted to send flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the home and the owner read the card; it said "Rest in Peace". The owner was angry and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said. "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry you should imagine this: somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, "Congratulations on your new home".

Does anyone have any idea what either of these phrases mean?

Commodious Rooms?

A Sense of Humor Is Important

Welcome...

Don't worry, this isn't another super-serious blog about the state of the real estate industry, the economy, or interest rates.

Instead, this is the chance for all of us to have a little fun at the expense of realtors.

Most of you have read "For Sale" ads either online or in the paper, and have no clue what realtors really mean. Is it a typo, did we mean to write that, or did we just run out of space?

So, here's the plan.

Whenever I come across a creative realtor word or phrase, I'll post it here. And, if you see anything that confuses you, just email it to me, and I'll post it.

Occasionally we will have a contest for different categories, such as "best made up word" or "worst use of the English Language."

And, since many of you consider realtors on the same level as lawyers and used car salesmen, realtor jokes are allowed.

Let's have fun!
