"[Fill in the Blank] Opportunity!"
To overuse something is to devalue it.
So, what is arguably the most overused word in real estate today?
"Opportunity" (followed by the obligatory exclamation mark).
As in:
--Rare opportunity!
--Wonderful opportunity!
--Great opportunity!
--Investment opportunity!
--Don't miss your opportunity!
--What an opportunity!
--Opportunity knocks!
--Seize the opportunity!
--Renovation opportunity!
--Rental opportunity!
--Perfect opportunity!
--Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
--Fantastic opportunity!
--Excellent opportunity!
--Turnkey opportunity!
--This is your opportunity!
--Nice opportunity!
--Equity opportunity!
Plus, of course, that old Realtor-to-Realtor staple: 'open house opportunity.'
You get the idea.
Jeez, guys, how about some non-cliche sales verbiage??
To paraphrase Thomas Friedman, Realtors never miss an opportunity to use the word "opportunity."
P.S.: how about this one: 'not-so-rare opportunity?'
