Ladies and gentlemen, welcome! Today, we’re diving deep into the world of house viewings! Ever notice how cleaning for a house viewing is like preparing for a first date? You shove all your dirty laundry in the closet and pray they don’t open the door!

p

Tom

I wouldn’t know about that. I just want to see the house. Why do we have to play hide and seek with your laundry?

d

Mike

Because, Tom! If they see the dirty laundry, they’ll think the house is a mess! You know, like they’d think you’re a slob on a date!

p

Tom

So, how many of you have ever hidden your stuff before someone came over? Show of hands! Yes, all of you! We’re all guilty!

d

Mike

And how about those buyers? They come in with more questions than a therapist! 'What are the schools like? Is the area safe?' You’d think they were looking to marry the house!

p

Tom

I’m just trying to get a good deal. I’m not looking to settle down!

d

Mike

Right? It’s all about the price! But they might as well ask, 'Does it come with a cat?'

p

Tom

And does it matter if it’s a good cat? I mean, what if it’s a scratcher?

d

Mike

Exactly! A good cat is like a good mortgage – it should come with no hidden fees!

p

Tom

And what about the notary? Why do we need a middleman to write everything down? Can’t we just shake hands and call it a day?

d

Mike

Oh, Tom, the notary is there to make sure everyone knows who owes what! You know, like a referee in a game of Monopoly! 'You owe me rent for landing on my property!'
