I was supposed to meet the realtor in Arlington, Virginia today at 11:30. The agent does not show I call her and she swears the appointment is set for tomorrow. I tell her that won't work so please call my office to reschedule. I drove the comps since this was a 1 bedroom 1 bath cookie cutter and my office rescheduled for 3:30. Drove out to Burke, VA and did a pre-isting appraisal and then back to Arlington. Realtor gets out of her car and she brings her yapping 11 month old Yorkie with her. I did the inspection and at the end I said to the realtor, "Does the owner have a dog?" The realtor looks at me funny and tells me the owner does not have a dog. With a big smile on my face I said, "Then it must your dog that pooped and peeed all over the bedroom floor."

I can't make this up folks....and yes it did make me think of Joan!
 
The dog could've at least used the bushes.
 
That dog and Realtor should be CLEARBOXED!:D

Take a picture of it, include it in your report, and label it. Be sure to make positive adjustments. It may enhance marketability.

Maybe it was the realtor.
 
I don't know, story sounds better with a parrot.

Besides JT already has a category for parrots.
 
I really wish you guys would redirect your angst to AMC's in general or something. Since when did Joan become the postergirl for everything wrong in the industry?

I knew one of these appraisers who did not qualify for certification upgrade. He routinely brought his mastiff or whatever dog it was that stood 3/12 ft tall at the back. He refused to go anywhere without it. Said it was for protection. But I wondered to myself who would be there to protect me from this dog.

You forgot to mention the fleas the dog left behind.
 
Yeah, but the realtor wasn't riding a moped or wearing shorts, so it's all good. :)
