Seriously--here's a small part of a long and rambling description on a new listing: >>Extraordinary And Rarely Available!! Breath Taking Views From Every Room. You're Perfect Home!!! Absolutely Extraordinary In Many Aspects!!! << It goes on and on, sentence after sentence, in that fashion. If you've hired a broker to sell your two-point-something-mil apartment don't you think you'd at least expect the listing to be legible and grammatically sound? Shouldn't that be a basic requirement? You know, that the broker knows how to string together a simple sentence and use paragraph breaks? And don't get me started on the inane Use Of Caps In Every Sentence. What's the point? It just makes the drivel even more difficult to read. The online listing is usually the first thing potential buyers see. It leaves an impression. Poor writing, bad grammar and run-on sentences just make the agent look careless and unprofessional. End of rant (for now). [less]
Post the listing.
Your overreacting. And it's none of you're business.

Bramstar,
This guy deserves the full 6% especially with that well-thought out listing.
Is the guy having an open house? Or are we supposed to just contact him if we want the apartment?
I Like His Use Of Capital Letters
I am perfect home!
That kind of garbage writing is a huge turnoff. There's no excuse for bad grammar and spelling in even the lowest-tier listings. Don't brokers have to have a high school education?
I find the location and the decor to be far more offensive than the broker babble. Yellow leather sofa on a concentric circled rug, really??!
Must be a relationship there. The same broker has kept that listing through three+ years and three agencies. The awful prose migrates with him.
Wow. Just checked out the guy's other listings and they all read like a comedy of errors. Atrocious.
Grammar: the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.
"Extraordinary And Rarely Available!! Breath Taking Views From Every Room. You're Perfect Home!!! Absolutely Extraordinary In Many Aspects!!!"
Oh brother. Forget the difference between You're and Your, why bother? I like the "Rarely Available". Unless you happen to read the ongoing history since '08 at the bottom of the ad.
Midtownereast, how have things been?
