Shelby and Charlie Rule
Another thing about selling our house...
Here is a tip for real estate professionals hoping to earn the right to list a home: "Don't insult the owners or the owners' pet."
A real estate broker toured our home as we were considering who to list it with. I think she was probably the best person to list with, but she made the fatal mistake of insulting our dog.
As she walked through the livingroom she pointed at Shelby, our dog and beloved member of our family, and said, "What are you going to do with that?" She said a couple more things along the way to offend me, but really, referring to our dog as if she was an ugly piece of furniture is really all it took. "That" is second only to baby Charlie in terms of importance in this house. Thank you for your time, don't let the door whack you in the butt on the way out.
