Each morning, I and thousands of other Los Angeles real estate agents search the multiple listing service for new listings and price reductions.  While searching, I sometimes get distracted by the agent’s description aka agent remarks.

There is the over the top description, with the poor grammar and spelling errors:  “A fantastic all remodeled and well cared for in the prime Glendale Rancho offers: 2 tastefully remodeled bathrooms, frameless shower door, CAPPUCCINO vanity in both bathrooms, Hardwood floors and Italian tiles in the kitchen, Family and Bathrooms. Granite Counter Top, Roof, Air Conditioning less than 4 years Old, much moor”

Private agent remarks read: “This is a Short Sale and all the terms and conditions, including the commission, are subject to the line holder approval.”

If you are curious about the phenomenal “CAPUCCINO” vanity, I was too; thankfully he is referring to a color and not a cappuccino machine in the bathroom.

Then just the facts: “Serene, high above Foothill. Front porch with Mountain Views. Private backyard with a variety of fruit trees. Home has been well cared for over the years. Formal Dining room with picture window. 2 car attached garage with access from the house. Blue Ribbon Schools. Hardwood floors, ceiling fans.”

Then fluff sprinkled with truth: “This impressive Mediterranean is sited on half a level acre in one of La Canada's most coveted walking neighborhoods. Special features include a charming hexagonal office, four bedroom suites, hardwood floors, copper plumbing and a lovely back yard with gated pool and gazebo. Recent improvements include new condenser for central air, updated master bath, new tile roof, freshly painted interior and exterior, and grey water system.

Then there is Madison Avenue Enthusiasm: “Charming and Adorable Home on a really 'Leave It To Beaver' peaceful cul-de-sac street!
