Many of our clients look at property online, and occasionally they’ll ask us for more information on something that they find (that we haven’t already emailed them a link for).
There is one in Coconut Grove listed now that is amusing: Listed in the MLS as a 2 bedroom 2 bath … it turns out that it might be something different… In speaking with the listing agent, she asks me how many people it’s for. “Two” – (… the answer … she likes). She then asks to clarify a bit: because even though it’s advertised in the MLS as a 2 bedroom it is really what she prefers to call “a convertable two bedroom”… now that we’re talking on the phone.
Okay… so what’s a convertable 2 bedroom? Perhaps it’s den that could be used as a second bedroom?
No … She’s marketing the condo as a two bedroom and then clarifying to buyers and agents: “What makes it a convertable two bedroom is that there’s a sofa bed in the living room.” So … it’s really a one bedroom with a living room … and … a sofa bed.
No reason not to fly with this … You just have to laugh.
Our buyers response … “Wow … that changes how we might need to advertise the home we’re selling in Maine to relocate to Miami… We have always considered ours to be a five bedroom. Who would have known … after all these years… that we too have an extra bedroom!”
