Strains Appearing in 530 N. Lake Shore Drive in Streeterville
Two units in 530 N. Lake Shore Drive, Unit #1305 and #2201, in Streeterville, recently had lis pendens filed against them.
Unit #1305 is a 3-bedroom unit that is currently on the market. Here’s the listing:

“PREMIER TEAR”
That’s a **great** typo! I’m sure the owner *is* crying.
LOL what a fantastic Freudian slip!
Am I the only one appalled by the incredible number of typos in real estate listings? You’re trying to market/sell a $1 million product. You stand to make tens of thousands from the sale. I see fewer typos on signs selling $2 hot dogs.
Yes, beutiful lapsus calami(ty)
oops I meant beautiful
” I see fewer typos on signs selling $2 hot dogs.”
I think you mean:
I see fewer typo’s on signs’ selling $2 “hot” dog’s.
Those signs are notorious for the mis-use of apostrophes and quotation marks. But they usually manage to spell their product correctly.
I guess realtors can’t afford (or don’t know how to use) MS Word. Why someone wouldn’t cut and paste from some program with a spellchecker (obviously, the MLS doesn’t have one), I just don’t get.
Serena, whatever happened to the units in the 03 tier you profiled a few months ago?

I am certain that the asking price was carefully determined by a thorough analysis of the current market. Of course, the result was promptly thrown out and a break-even price was inserted in its place.
Do realtards ever use spellcheck?
I mean, I can understand an occasional typo. People have to work fast, and keys get dropped or punched twice.
What gets me is the atrocious spelling and grammar. Where’d these people go to school?
“Where’d these people go to school?”
Mostly public schools in the suburbs.
Laura,
You’re joking about “where’d”, right?
I say where’d :-p
In Towner, “where’d” is a perfectly acceptable and grammatically correct contraction.
Spertia, contractions like “where’d” are very common in spoken English, but considered grammatically incorrect in written English.
Considered incorrect by whom? It perfectly fits the contraction form: two words mashed together, with the missing letters replaced by an apostrophe.
So when I see a listing with no interior pictures I just assume it’s a mess. That’s been my experience. Last time I postulated this someone (perhaps Steve) pointed out that the particular property I was speculating about looked fine. OK. Then why no pictures? Is this the south suburban REO realtors Steve was talking about? Why do bank REO groups deal with these bozos?
The world is not rational.
As for the typos and poor grammar…only 44% of realtors have a college degree. Draw your own conclusions.
psst, hey anon.
i think he was right with the “typos”. the typo doesn’t have ownership of the misspelling and there are more than one, thus “typos”. if you want to correct someone’s grammar, one should be sure that they are right (like my capitalization skillz).
Kenworthey, for informal posts “where’d” is fine, but it is not an accepted contraction in formal or academic writing, check the print version of the Chicago Manual of Style. “Where’d” used above is a non-issue just funny because the original post was about poor use of grammar.
psst, hey bunt:
It was a joke. As should have been clear from the next sentence in my post.
And, in any case, you missed 4 other “errors”: the signs don’t have possession of the selling (nor could they) and the dog’s (what are they possessing?) aren’t “hot”, they are hot dogs.
Typos Typos Everywhere…check out the listings for 1515 N. Astor Units 19BC and 25B that are said to be “elagantly” appointed, with a “sofisticated” view, and a “supurb” staff.
The real rub is that the listing agent for both units owns the unit that has THE WRONG BUILDING PICTURED IN THE BROCHURE.
Can’t get much more “supurb” than that.
hm, guess youre right. meh, i suck at the internet anyway.
i wish there were interior pictures of this place.
You’ll find the interior pix on http://www.urbanrealestate.com. Enjoy!
I don’t think I ever had a listing put in by our office secretaries without an error, esp back when things were busy. That’s why you check them…. I mean how hard is that. I don’t always assume the interior is a mess if there aren’t pictures. It usually is, but there are some realtors who are just really lazy. I know a few who primarily farm a just one or two high-rises (usually one they live in) and consistently list without pictures…. a terrible disservice to their clients. It also seems to be the older agents around from the days that the mls was paper 🙂 The only time its acceptable to list without pictures is if is a tear-down and you aren’t going to do showings anyway.
