Here are a few of our favorites: When a realtor calls that speck of blue between the trees—right there, squint!—a “filtered” lake view. Advertising themselves with their circa-1994 high school yearbook photo: And you thought shoulder pads were a thing of the past. “We’ve hit the bottom of the housing market.” –All realtors, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011… “I’m going down to the Bay to find buyers after the Facebook IPO.” Translation: “I’m going to expense my outlet shopping trip.” “Sir, you only think you’re wealthy now. Wait until we get you out of California and into Incline.” The neighborhood eyesore is listed as a “handyman’s dream.” Also, “Enjoy as is, or take advantage of a great development opportunity!” Pitching you on a “chef’s delight kitchen” with all the commercial-style coziness and personality of an interrogation room. The “gentle downslope” of your property is actually a cliff face. “Cliffhanger’s dream!”
