In today’s market we find ourselves asking our sellers to do more to help us help them. Unfortunately it sometimes leads to problems. In the past I have casually mentioned little things like odors and curb appeal. There is not a bigger turn-off than when you open a door and are slammed with pet odors IMHO.

And what in the world was one seller thinking when they knew I was showing their home and decided to cook fish before we got there?

In an effort to help our sellers move their property I now emphasize things that hurt a showing a bit more (especially pet odors) and I have upset a few clients.

I guess it is my “Bedside Manner” that needs a little refining.

Has anyone one else ran into a similar situation with a seller?
