When the owner of a prominent New York City animal rental agency saw the article in the New York Times about sociable, personality plus pets helping to sell Manhattan apartments, he immediately jumped on the new idea. It’s not every day that a spanking new category pops up in your business and this one, renting out his star dogs and cats to dress up apartments for sale, was packed with promise. Why couldn’t it work for selling houses too? And how about expanding the idea to the moneybag suburbs? So In no time flat the animal rental web site featured a fresh new section describing their Primo Property Pets that began:
“Need to inject some warmth, life, and personality into your house, apartment or condo when prospective buyers pop in? Stars of film, TV and countless events, our elite Primo Property Pets will break the ice at your open house and charm and delight all visiting buyers.
Beautifully groomed and sprayed with our winsome, proprietary fragrance, “Loving Home,” our pets arrive ready to sparkle on your personal stage and convey your property’s required mood. Want your buyers to appreciate the elegant, custom attributes of your living quarters? Miss Bliss, our star Bichon Frise dog, can sit on any living room couch and command the room like the Queen of Sheba. Not only that, she’s cuddly too and will snuggle up to the toughest, hard to please house buyer. As a bonus, this dog barely sheds, so your visitors will never have the annoyance of brushing off unsightly doggy hair.
If your house or apartment hunters have children and you want to impart a more relaxed family atmosphere, you could greet them at the door with Big Charlie, our Golden Retriever whose cheerful, eager to please, trust-worthy demeanor will instantly melt any family’s hearts.
To appeal to younger, livelier, fixer-upper types who would probably be delighted to be escorted around the premises by a perky, bright eyed Jack Russell Terrier, may we introduce Buster Boy, who has an inborn knack for highlighting the best selling point of any room, no matter the room’s well-worn condition.
If your prospective buyers are cat people, not to worry. All our cats take special personality tests to weed out any snooty, stuck up attitudes. This insures they exude a warm, friendly aura in all situations. In fact, many house and apartment hunters are often so enchanted by our feline’s loving qualities, they inquire if the cats come with the property.
So If you’re in the market to sell a house, condo or apartment, please consult our blue ribbon pet photos and bios so we can arrange an immediate one on one interview with the Primo Property Pet of your choice.”
