I love The Ellen Show, and watch whenever I’m able to. The other day, I was watching the show and Ellen was talking about how much she loves real estate and how much she enjoys buying and selling homes. She said she knows that people often don’t know what they are getting into when they go to buy a home, so she is here to help.
I encourage you to watch the full video above, as I can’t quite capture Ellen’s unique wit and humor in my writing, but I will try. Some agents will do whatever they can to get people to see a home, including providing misinformation about the home. Here are some buzzwords and phrases that Ellen says you should watch out for if you’re looking for a home:

- Potential: As Ellen puts it, this could mean that the home “has the potential to turn its yellow mold into black mold.”
- One-of-a-Kind: This is another word to look out for. The reason the home is one-of-a-kind is maybe because the builder is now in jail and can’t build any more homes.
- Cozy: When an agent uses the word cozy, cozy means tiny, small, and cramped.
- Seller is Motivated: A nice way of saying: “This home has been on the market a long time, and we’ve lost all hope of selling it.”
- Classic, Retro, Original: All of these words mean “old.”
