Tales from the showing front.

I am always running into something strange while showing homes to potential buyers. Last week, we were looking at a home that had been vacated by the tenants the previous weekend. As we stepped out onto the back porch, however, we found that the tenants had not yet moved their large pitbull. He came around the corner at full speed, creating all sorts of excitement among my buyers and myself. We were able to retreat into the home, and get the sliding door closed enough to stop him at his shoulders. His tail was wagging, and he appeared friendly, so I'm sure he just wanted to play. However, our heart rates had already been elevated to near the level of our morning workouts. Who says selling real-estate is not exciting?
