(((Blueberry))). FWIW, I asked people to take their shoes off when viewing my house. As far as I know, they complied (it was winter and the carpeted floors were cleaned before it went on the market). I left a tray for the shoes near the front door.

The post-viewing comments are THE WORST. They always left me feeling so dejected. It takes some emotional fortitude to sell a home in this market; more than I often had.
