Real Estate Listing Pics

[jackie011]

Should there be obvious signs of pets (including the actual pet) in real estate photo listings?

H sent me a link to our friend's listing and I said it looks like a great house, but they should retake all of those pictures with the cat on the bed, on the table, the litter box, etc.

H just said I noticed those things b/c I hate cats. I said I noticed those things b/c they would prevent me, a potential buyer, from visiting that house.

(We are in no way interested in the house, we live 3 states away, but I thought it was a valid point)

I agree with you.

Retake!

I love cats but they (and especially their littler box) shouldn't be in the pictures.

I was looking at a listing the other day that included a photo with THREE litter boxes - side by side - in view. That's a big no for me.
