The Most Comical Real Estate Humor

By Kevin Ierardi


Property market is sometimes slow and boring. The mood for buyers, sellers and agents is lifted by the availability of the best real estate humor alongside the properties on offer in the market. The pun offered on these sites is unexpected and very hilarious. The comic part is in twisting bill boards, criticizing decisions and procedures when selling houses or the information provided about a property.

The websites proving such fun allow those searching for property to chuckle, chortle, guffaw, giggle and laugh as they buy, sell or let. The updates are on daily basis or as regular as possible. The pun delivered through such jokes lightens the mood especially when the search is tiresome. It offers comic relief to those working in the industry by lifting the gloom that hovers over a slow market.

There are incredible comical phrases that depict the irony in some endeavors by those working in the industry. One of them is a seller who told the agent that that he had described his house so well when selling it that he withdrew it from the market. Such a phrase presents the dilemma to agents not to describe their properties too well rest the owners change their minds.

The descriptions given about neighborhoods, compounds and pets are meant to justify the high prices. The trick sometimes backfires when the client is on a tour to view the home. Real estate jokes have also focused on the reason houses are sold with a query on the pricing of old and run down houses. The information given on adverts is would make the buyer wonder why the seller is parting with the property if it is that good.

Cartoon characters have been used to deliver the most comical real estate humor. It could be a storyline or a punch line caption. The descriptions given for some of the houses make them only available in dream land. The placement of decimals when giving the figure has been the subject for jokes over the years.

The entry of technology has raised the stakes for the industry. It is interesting to see a woman complaining of the presence of apps for all purposes apart from cleaning the house, cooking and doing laundry. TO LET sign has been manipulated on different occasions with the inclusion of a lizard or string so that it reads TOILET.

There is variety in real estate humor and the trick has been effective in capturing visitors for the agents. Visitors looking for property are attracted to stay longer within the site and therefore can see more of what is on offer. Incorporation of images, graphics and photos provides diversity.
