GOING FOR ‘BROKERESE’

We in real estate got a kick out of your definitions, but you missed a few.

Opt: An overpriced turkey, usually an overimproved house in a so-so neighborhood.

La vista tanque farme : A property with soaring, panoramic views of largely industrial areas.

Pinata : A home painted with gaudy colors.

Gilded Turnip: A home of poor-quality construction with or without a bad add-on or remodel, that the owners have tried to dress up with fancy fixtures and expensive marble or granite touches.

Hankie holder: A listing by a seller who is going through great personal trauma, requiring the agent to provide immense emotional and professional support.

Garden carpet: Carpet so dirty it could grow vegetables.
