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?

Having experienced this dedication to pets and animals,Gary and Sylvia have been so instrumental in the needs of not only my pets but countless others. It makes a huge difference when you have agents that are considerate to the needs of pets as they're very much a part of the family. If a potential realtor is about to take on my listing and doesn't connect well with my pets, I take notice! :)
Animals are better judges of character than most people. Take Gary at his word.
