Sylvia and I have three dogs, a cat, turtle and fish. Our animals are at the center of our lives and we understand pet owners who are like us. If you plan to list your home, make sure your Realtor is pet-friendly. What could be worse than leaving your home in the hands of a realtor who is insensitive to the importance your animals have in your lives. There are so many horror stories out there about Realtors who have left doors open, to have dogs and cats escape, or have put animals in bedrooms during a showing and have forgotten to let them out. A current client of ours tells the story that while on a four day long weekend, their realtor had a showing at the house. The family's cat remained behind with plenty of water, food and a large liter box. The buyers were afraid of cats, so the realtor placed the cat in a bedroom, shut the door and went about her business. After the showing, the realtor entirely forgot about the animal. When the owners returned home, kitty was dehydrated having gone without water for a few days. It recovered, thank goodness. Additionally, the cat's liter box was in another room. Need I say more. A rule of thumb we have is, if our dogs don't like you, probably they have good reason. We really trust their instincts. How about having us in for a listing appointment and introducing us to your pets?
Saw this on AOL this morning.....................
Snapped One of the Grove's information booths this morning and was surprised to see a real person inside. No one was present when the streets were filled on Saturday night. I've seen a person in there only three times since they were erected. Happy to see it, because at a cost of more than $65,000 each, the cost per square foot is about $3,250.00. I don't know of any other real estate here coming close to its cost per square foot. That means a modest 2,000 square foot home would be worth $6,500,000 if comped against our information booths.
