Today was an interesting day of showings. I had a buyer that was terrified of dogs and sure enough, every home we entered had a dog we encountered.
At first it was kind of funny to see a full grown man about 6'2" and 280lbs, on one leg trying to get every piece of flesh he had away from a 20lb dog, like an elephant reacting to a mouse. But at the 3rd home I really started feeling bad he was so uncomfortable seeing these homes. If that's what you could call it? He was more worried about where the dog was, than what the home looked like. When I asked him if he was going to be ok, he said "Yeah, but it's a good thing I don't show homes for a living."
It was a good reminder for me to make sure my sellers know why it's important to put their pets in creates or simply remove them from the property during showings. It could mean the difference from an offer and no offer.
