Getting Your Home Sold…With Pets
One of the first home selling tips I see on almost every article I read (after “clean your home”) is- make sure no one knows that you have a pet. It’s understandable- the sight of dirty kitty litter or the smell of wet dog can be a huge turn off. Pets are awesome, but they can wreak some serious havoc on a home, and buyers know that. So, you love your fur babies, but you’re trying to sell. What do you do? Well, look no further than this post by Bill Gassett at Max Real Estate Exposure:
-Talk to a vet- Selling a home can be just as stressful for the pet as it is for the home owner.
-Find a temporary home for your pet- do you have a friend or family member that you can leave the pet(s) with for a few weeks? It’ll make clean up and showings much easier.
-Remove pets during showings
-Repair all pet damage, and remove any odors or stains
