Tips on Water-front, Water-view, and Pools

Thursday 14 December 2006

Have you ever shown a client a property that the listing agent claimed had a pool, only to discover they meant a community pool? Have you ever seen a house next to a retention pond described as "water-front?"

When describing a listing as "water-front property," remember that this term also does not include parcels that are blocks away from the body of water. Likewise, "water view" does not apply if you have to stand on the roof to see it.

Community and condominium pools should only be included in the "Community Features" list as the "Pool Y/N (Home)" refers only to pools belonging to the listing itself.
