“This adorable home is cute and cozy”

Yes That Is The Wording Used On This USA Listing  :)

The book Freakonomics highlighted how buyers react to certain words.

Michael Corbett, host of NBC’s Extra Millionaires & Mansions and author of the national best-selling book “Ready, Set, Sold!” reviewed this in a recent article:

“”When it comes to writing descriptions, the smart thing to do is to be very specific. Don’t be vague and use words like “fantastic,” “spacious,” or “charming.” Boring! Avoid sweeping adjectives.

Give specifics using descriptive, straightforward terms that tell the physical attributes of your home, as in “Marble,” “Spiral Staircase,” “Gourmet Kitchen with New Viking Appliances, and “Solid Bamboo Flooring.””

“Free Film Friday” To Help Wasaga Beach Girls Soccer

Free Films This Friday January 27th At Gone Hollywood Video

Both Wasaga Beach locations of Gone Hollywood Video are supporting the Wasaga Beach Under 16 Select Soccer Team’s trip to Italy.

All movies rented on Friday will be free with a donation to the Wasaga Canadians!!!

I have to admire the energy and ingenuity the girls ( and parents no doubt ) are showing to raise funds. Travel is the best education there is. Throw a few games of Football in, sorry “soccer” :) and what more can you want.

Nice to see such support from local business. All the more reason to “Shop Local.”

Now the number of agents.

OUTRAGEOUS.

Will Your Home Be Bought Or Sold?

It’s The Same Thing Isn’t It?

I was reading Seth Godin’s blog today and one idea jumped out at me and is so relevant to real estate:

“Some things are bought–like bottled water, airplane tickets and chewing gum. The vendor sets up shop and then waits, patiently, for someone to come along and decide to buy.

Other things are sold–like cars, placement of advertising in magazines and life insurance. If no salesperson is present, if no pitch is made, nothing happens.”
