dear real estate listers

STOP using bullshit buzzwords to try and manipulate people into buying a home. If I see a house listed for 49K I'm pretty damn certain clicking onto it that there are going to be problems, and I would like to know about said problems upfront without having to filter through "dear first time home buyers/investors don't let this gem go!!! This spacious (200 SQ FT) home has lots of character and just needs a little more love to become your next rental project/dream home" Shut the fuck up with that and be honest about the problems. By the way everyone knows "project home" means shit home. No one expects or wants to read "the house is in a drug ridden area. it looks like shit. the kitchen floor is caving in" but maybe be real about the floor needing to be replaced. be honest and cut through the bullshit. You're selling houses, salesman BS doesn't work when you're taking out a huge ass loan. People want to know what potential costs they'd be looking at to make the place livable. Just because it technically meets the criteria of livable (electricity, water) doesn't mean most people are willingly going to move into a former crack den.

Do you really think alluding information about the condition of the home will prevent a person from seeing how shitty things are when they go to a viewing of said home? What about when they get a home inspector in there? Do you really think you'll be able to sweet talk them with industry buzzwords?
