Three Cringeworthy Performances of the “12 Days of Christmas” by Realtors and One Kind of Funny One
It’s that time of year where business across this great land try to leverage the holiday season into publicity for themselves. We thought we’d share attempts made by those in the real estate industry to tie into holiday season with their own renditions of the 12 Days of Christmas. Prepare yourself for all kinds of awkward and a touch of humor…
1. “Super Funny 12 Days of Christmas” by Harcourts Sapphire Coast
This is the best one. By far. And not just because somebody gets egged.
2. “12 Days of REALTOR,” performed by Cache Rich Association of REALTORS
This is why some real estate companies routinely drug test their staff.
3. “The Twelve (7) Days of Christmas,” performed by Sue Eller of Eller’s Sellers
Bonus points for keeping it short.
4. “The 12 Days of Christmas Realtor Style,” performed by Century 21 Award agents
Hopefully, the money they saved on a videographer went into Christmas bonuses for the staff that was forced to perform this.
And to prove Estately isn’t completely sanctimonious, we’ve included our own cringe-worthy rendition of a Christmas classic below…
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS (ESTATELY VERSION)
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was sleeping, except a chubby Corgi named Kraus
Our offer was sent in by our real estate agent with care
In hopes that the home owners would sell us their lair
– – –
Our mortgage broker was nestled all snug in his bed
While visions of lucrative commissions danced in his head
And mamma in her Star Wars pajamas, and I in my Rogaine-scented cap
Had just settled in for a long winter’s nap
– – –
When the vibrating cellphone unleashed such a clatter
I rolled over in our sleeper sofa to see what was the matter
The caller was our agent Darryl, just as expected
Calling to say our offer had been rejected
– – –
The moon shone on our rented apartment covered in new fallen snow
Reminding us we had no new home to go
When what should my wondering eyes suddenly see
But the fantastic real estate search site Estately
– – –
The site was simple, so speedy, so incredbily quick
And with more homes than other search sites it would do just the trick
More rapid than eagles the affordable listings came
And I shouted out to each member of the family by name
– – –
Now Rita, now Maxwell, now Kenneth and Lenny
On Chester and Mildred on Zeke and Wendy
Come quickly to the laptop, an abundance of ideal real estate listings abound
Now look at it—a home in our desired school district I found
– – –
The curb appeal was considerable, especially for the price
And the yard was so spacious, the landscaping quite nice
So we clicked on the large photo, to reveal the inside
And prayed the interior had nothing to hide
– – –
And the twinkling interior, provided the proof
That the house wasn’t designed by some architectural goof
The kitchen was spacious, with room to move around
And a dog door in back for Kraus to race outside with a bound
– – –
This home how it sparkled, it’s ceiling so tall
And what other wonders might there be down the hall?
There was a grand bedroom for the parents, and one for each kid
And even an extra for Rita’s deadbeat brother Sid
– – –
Each bathroom’s decor was tasteful to say the least
And the Feng Shui was exceptional, with each toilet facing east
The fitness room was well ventilated so it wouldn’t turn smelly
And convenient exercise options to keep us from turning to jelly
– – –
The family room was carpeted from wall to wall
As were the staircases, which soften the blow if you fall
Conveniently located, so the commute would be quick
And the chimney so wide so there’ll be room for St. Nick
– – –
The family jointly decided, that this should be home
So we clicked “Create a Showing” and filled out the form
An agent then called us, and the house we did see
And our offer was accepted, we owe it all to Estately
