When we signed our agreement with our listing agent, there was a clause in there about not having our cameras inside because of North Carolina not allowing it? Which is fine. I don't want to hear what the buyers are saying, I don't really care.
My issue comes when two separate agents have left my front door open. We are leaving for a foreign country and my cat is under quarantine. He is caged up when I leave, however I forgot one time because it was a last minute showing and this is one of the people who left my doors open. We have stray cats because we are kind of rural and I don't want him to get into a fight with one and risk the very expensive FAVN test that I had to get to clear him. I will 1,000% make sure he is locked up from here on out, but that doesn't stop as stray animal from coming in and attacking through the cage bars if the door is left open. Not to mention it's freaking mosquito season. There are wasps and bees and other horrible little critters I don't want in my freaking house while I'm still living there.
So after that long-winded rant, can I change that clause to have my house camera aimed at my front door with the audio turned off? I know buyers and realtors don't have to believe me, but I'm genuinely an honest person and I don't care to creep on people. I just want the courtesy of my house being fucking closed when people leave it. And so far it has happened twice. My stuff is still in there, there is a sheisty, bad area of town right down the road and people do walk up and down that highway.
I don't think anyone would take me to court over it, but I'm really nervous because I did sign this piece of paper saying that I wouldn't have a camera inside. Also someone shit in my toilet and left it for me. Is anyone else having an issue with buyers and buyer's agents just completely being disrespectful or is it just me?
Also a giant caveat to this is that I cannot take my cat with me, I already have two giant dogs that I have to take out and we go walk around the park. It's not feasible to have everybody locked up in the car for an hour waiting for the walkthrough. So we go walk around the park for about an hour and I can't leave the cat in the car because it's like 90° during the day. Either way, don't leave people's doors open. I thought this was common sense.
