It's a Dog Eat Dog World...And I'm Gonna Bark on This!

There are way too many times I call to set a showing and my "showing instructions" include, friendly dog lives in the home and will be in bathroom / garage, etc. and the sellers ask that you please do not enter that room or let the dog out. 

This is much frustration on my end for many reasons. #1 being that the poor dog is probably stressed and upset about their temporary holding cell while strangers walk their turf. #2 being that the location of the holding cell prevents the buyers from viewing that section of the home. I mean...is the dog helping to hide an unpleasant portion of the home? And #3 being that the dog will typically bark during the showing, which is understood but very annoying for the buyers who are viewing the home. 

I LOVE dogs and pretty much all pets, which is why I help my sellers and buyers accommodate their 4-legged loved ones. Read more about accommodating the pets on my website @ http://dogeatdogrealty.com/for-the-pets
