How’s this for a real estate sales pitch?

November 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments

This is an excerpt from the real estate listing for the 16-unit Pullington apartment building at 509 N. 85th St.:

The rule of thumb is to find the worst building in the best area! Well here it is and the best part is the building is in great shape and is surrounded by new construction from commercial shops to highrise apartments. 16-unit building steps to Green Lake and Greenwood…

It’s listed at $1,649,500 and while it doesn’t mention the possibility, the $1,295,000 listing for the neighboring building pitches both properties as “prime development property that is ideal for a mixed use building or a townhome development.”

    “Desirable Greenlake Location with Excellent foot traffic…”

    What a load of crap. I think I saw a couple of bums stumbling past that building once and, as far as I could tell, they weren’t going to Greenlake.
