Oh dear, we rather wish they wouldn’t.
Estate agents writing poetry, that is.
Stick to the day job, is our advice. Oh, and concentrate on the apostrophes.
Still, who are we to disagree, as some of Poonan Estate’s clients clearly specify the poetic approach.
Here’s a sample:
DETACHED could be your CATCH. The through lounge is SPACIOUS & GRACIOUS, No need to RACE as there is parking SPACE for 2/3 CARS. The FITTED KITCHEN is SUPERB and has plenty of room for ALL THE HERBS. Through the DINER there is a CONSERVATORY no FINER & there you can set your CUTLERY & CHINA.

Oh dear!
should be 'first-class' sorry!
I did an advert for an in-branch financial advisor several years back. Went something like;
For first-time buyers,
we are fits-class suppliers,
of moving and mortgage advice.
Come and see Jenny,
She can save you a penny,
and maybe a whole lot more.

Nice one, but we are in the same town and are seriously busy right now!! Okay, lots of viewings and not that many sales, but phones ringing off the hook. Totally knackered if I'm honest. I'm not a poet unlike the guys at Haart, but would love to have some time to try my hand at it. :-o
For agents this holiday time
It's hard to sell owt for a dime
No viewings to record
I'm really so bored
So I've made up this stupid old rhyme
There once was an agent in Southall
Who was unable to sell houses at all
"I know," said he
"With poetry you'll see
Miss the apostrophes and it'll end well"
Ta-da!
to be honest at least its different and far better than the normal.. we are delighted to offer this well presented and deceptively spacious..blah blah blah
At Poonan's the times were quite fallow
The sales figures looked kinda shallow
So they market in verse
'Cos if things got much worse
They'd be back selling fruit off that barrow!
Blue tit ?
