See, this is why I can’t bring myself to start looking for a house. Thanks for the warning.

They also have huge, smelly farts. A distinct memory from my childhood is my father telling our Great Dane, Grover, to go to the corner (meaning out of the room) after he let one go.

Good luck with that…

Kind of missing the pitch on salesmanship, yes?

selling realtor must be new — unless new york state has particularly strict full disclosure laws

You aren’t going to go look at that house now, are you? You’ll smell that Great Dane every time it rains!

Bleck–selling a house is stress enough, you don’t need attitude from some realtor. Sheesh!

Hmm…the selling agent was hapless, perhaps, but at least honest. You’ll find that’s a rare thing in real estate. Also, bear in mind that the agent has little (read: no) control over the stupidity/poor judgment of his/her client. Sellers seem all too willing to shoot themselves in the foot, if my two house-buying episodes were anything to go by.

Later in this process, you’ll probably be thinking, “Wow, at least is wasn’t structural!”

At least they are planning on doing something about the poo before you look at the house…

It could be worse… a female Great Dane and a half-dozen or so untrained one-year old Great Dane pups that thay couldn’t or (wouldn’t) sell for some reason… at least it only sounds like one untrained pooper…

Hope the house hunt goes well- (and is poo-free.)

I don’t think the floors in that house would be so good. Nver mind.

I’d take a pass on that one… the smell would NEVER come out without replacing the floors (and maybe subfloors). At least the agent was honest!

Very exciting! Can’t wait to read about it…just don’t buy it.
