Cats. Your Humble Raleigh, Cary, Apex area Real Estate Agent Likes them. But...
Let's get this right out there in the open. I like cats. I prefer dogs. But I like cats. My only cat, Scratch, was a great pet. He loved to be right by your side, he played fetch just like a dog, and he was a great companion. As a responsible pet owner, I kept him up to date on his visits to the vet, kept him well groomed and I ironed him at least once a week....
What? You're not supposed to iron your cat? Hmmm. He never seemed to complain. Oh well, I'll have to look into that.
Now to my beef with cats...
Actually, I don't have a beef with cats. But I do have a beef with people who have dozens of them running around loose, especially when they're trying to sell their Raleigh, Cary, Apex area homes.
Yesterday, when showing homes to some first time Raleigh, Cary, Apex area home buyers, this is what it looked like when we opened the door...
OK, I get it. You love your cats. But, not everyone loves your feline friends as much as you do. And, even though my folks realized that they were buying a home and not the cats inside of it, this guy was the deal killer for my folks...
So, my friends, if you're selling your Raleigh, Cary, Apex area home, if at all possible, please, please, please, try to keep your cats, and all your pets for that matter, in one room and not running around while people are trying to view your home. I know you love 'em. But if they squashed a possible sale of your home, you might think twice about letting them run around loose.
