Fan of Roget

Call me old fashioned, but I do actually turn to my Roget's Thesaurus when writing descriptions for my listings, whether for online details or my property brochures. I was reminded of the importance of language last week when my sixth grader, Julia, came home after the English class word funeral. Happy, sad, little, big, said, mad, very, small... RIP from sixth grade English onward.

I wish more Realtors took the time to use descriptive language to paint a picture of the home they are selling. With accuracy of course and minus the hyperbole, prospective buyers and their agents would appreciate their efforts, and to be honest, it makes the work more interesting. And you will do your sixth grade teacher proud.
