Why The Property Description Series?
Our aim is to provide as many examples of listing descriptions as humanly possible in an easily digestible format. There are so many styles of homes and different levels of updates. We will take a property description from Zillow, take out the location identifiers and make it better. This is not a call out to real estate agents this is a learning opportunity to show that everyone writes the same thing. If you change a few words you can really distance yourself from what everyone else is doing.
Here's how it will go. We have the property listing currently posted out on the web. We remove all the identifying information, then we take that description and make it better with a few tweaks.
