Pokemon tenants are the latest home sales pitch

“How do you get more buyers through your home? You Pokemon.”
Barry Plant Keysborough real estate agent Ben Nguyen is hoping to cash in on the Pokemon Go craze for a Keysborough home-owner.
In what he thinks could be a world-first for a real estate pitch, he’ll list 26 Merrick Street with a Pokemon-themed script he said was packed with 10 Pokemon references in an attempt to stand out from the crowd.
“I hope that with the references of current interest we can generate more inquiry and interest, which will ultimately lead to a higher selling price,” he said.
The listing started: “For the first time in almost 35 years, this family home full of fond memories and has so much quality that is truly onyxpected.”
“As you enter the front door, on the Raichu will notice an L-shaped living room.”
“The piece de resistance is the outdoor concreted alfresco which provides the perfect place to spend your summer evee-nings.
“This property is sure to charmander-ttract even the fussiest of buyers.”
Mr Nguyen said the best part about the property was Pokestops and a Pokemon gym within one kilometre, and a key feature was psyduck-ted heating.
The augmented reality app-based game has attracted millions of users around the world since launching on Wednesday 6 July.
Players can capture, battle, and train virtual creatures called Pokemon, which appear throughout the real world through the use of their phone’s GPS and camera.
