Oh No I'm NOT!

By
Real Estate Agent with Meritus Group Real Estate SD 14808

I walking into the home with my clients and we hesitantly looked around. We were faced with the sign. It was hanging on the wall and politely insisted....please take off your shoes. They looked at me and I looked at them and I said I think I am going to keep my shoes on for this one! It was rather apparent that children and animals and adults that lived like animals lived there. The floor had not been cleaned for days?weeks?months? Who knows! Anyway just to reiterate a disgusting house with sticky floors covered in dog hair is not going to get sold when there are other homes available. People won't remember the house they will remember the grossness! So swing to it with the Swiffer and tidy up a little because the entire time your house is listed you are ALWAYS expecting company! Check out this hilarious link!

Hosai- Yes it was certainly something special! And yes I will remember you for Northern California! Isn't that where they make all the good wine or is this SD girl confused?!

I love that video.  Not so much the filthy home and sign suggesting barefoot status.  Great post, Rosalie!

Most of the time we see those signs in Silicon Valley where the homes are immaculate or it is obviously culturally significant to the seller we do so.

Hi there Rosalie, we have been there, done that and carry extra socks in our vehicles just for such an occasion. LOVE the commercial!

In case you are interested, there is a group for us late nighters too. Late Night-Early Morning at ActiveRain with none other than Vegas Bob.

I had a rental home where SANS shoes was required for viewing and the owners put out slip on shoes for viewers to use.  My rental prospects said NEXT as they did not know whose feet had been in the sippers they were to supposed to wear.

Michelle- Yes I think it was intended to be a clean house but maybe got away from them? Come to think of it the name of the owner and occupants were different. I wonder if it is a rental and wasn't listed as such?

Jacque & Larry- I guess I might have worn the socks had I not been worried about seepage! I am a little anal about clean floors! I just joined Late Night-Early Morning at ActiveRain too. Insomniacs unite! :)

Michael- I think that is half of the problem that they wore shoes in the house in the first place! But then again the dog can't sweep up its own hair so they just need to clean! I wonder what percetage of people kick off their shoes at the door like my family does?! Hmmm?

Craig- I just love that commercial! I wish they would come out with more great commercials like that one! I know I would be more likely to watch them if they did instead of skipping through them! Thanks again for showing me how its done!

Rosalie~ I bet they were just hoping you would clean up a bit with your socks while shuffling over their nastiness. Very weird for them to ask to remove shoes in that environment.  Loved the clip, had not seen it but have to share!

John- I am fairly sure if you would have walked on this floor your socks would have stuck! That clip just kills me! When I seen it I knew that I had to share it!
