⩥ Which Is Better?
You have a listing for a two-bedroom, 1,000-square-foot home that
needs work. Which description is better?
a. "Just listed, this small two-bedroom home needs some work and paint
and is priced accordingly. The sellers say, 'All offers welcome!' Just two
blocks from the commuter railroad station, the convenient location
makes this a great bargain. The home sits adjacent to commercial office
parks and shopping malls. A little sweat equity can go a long way!"
b. "Just listed, this cozy cape is a commuter's dream. You're just a short
walk to the train station—so convenient! All necessary amenities and
shopping are within walking distance, too; throw the car keys away!
Some minor updating to the paint and fixtures is all that is needed to
make this a warm and comfortable home."
Answer: B.
**The second description softens the negative better than the first.
