Question about estate agents and ethics Is it ok to ruthlessly edit the copy (full of typos and inaccuracies - 'top floor' when it's second floor of three, 'this apartment comprises from two bedrooms...', 'eclectic heaters') that one's estate agent has already put online to sell your flat?

I'm in two minds - the agent is a nice chap and is going all out to sell this flat quickly for us, but he (or his minion) can't write for toffee. I sent a calmly worded email containing a rewrite of the whole paragraph, but his email address isn't working. So I'd have to do it over the phone, which is a whole other kettle of kittens.
Should I accept it as my problem that I am offended by the bad writing (it's all understandable - just the one piece of inaccurate description needs correcting) or am I justified in asking them (nicely) to change it? Is this a good opportunity for offering them my professional editing services?
