Mary's Funny Real Estate Stories

Pet/Animal stories:
One house had so many pigeons we had to shoo them away to get in the door--Feathers & Poop everywhere--ugh!

Got key from lockbox, looked at large hole in bottom of front door, carved by years of dogs scratching to get in, and wondered why the owners would even bother locking the door? Must have been some pretty big dogs! And think about windblowing in when it gets cold.

Saw two large tails about 2 feet long, sticking out from under the built-in BBQ--two iguanas about 5 feet long each, finally poked their heads out and came out to greet us.- pets of owners--scary! My clients didn't buy that house!

Took a listing, saw the cat licking the JennAir grill which hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Recommended the owners get busy staging and cleaning. It didn't help that the sellers insisted on keeping the cat food on the kitchen counter, the cats had the run of the kitchen, and there was cat hair everywhere.

As we rang the doorbell, we could hear what sounded like very large dogs barking like crazy inside. The owner called to us to come in and look around, and we saw her washing two great danes, in the kitchen, on the tile floor, with the outdoor hose. Imagine the water damage to the underlayment, and the kitchen cupboards.
