If you’re selling a home and you have a pet, then we have some helpful tips to share with you today.

A lot of people don’t initially consider their pets when it comes to buying or selling a home, but the reality is that most of us do have them and they are a factor. When selling a home with a pet or to potential buyers that have pets, consider these three things:

1. Not every buyer is a pet lover. If you have a pet and you’re trying to sell your home, it’s important to move the pet stuff out of the way as much as possible. Having your pet out of the home during showings is a good idea if it’s going to be stressful for them.

You may not notice pet odors in your home, but buyers will.

2. Pet owners don’t always notice pet odors. This is because we live in the home daily and don’t notice them. Buyers will notice these smells, so make sure you try to neutralize them as well as you can by deodorizing the furniture carpets and other areas where your pets spend a lot of time.

3. Set the house up to be pet-friendly. Even if you don’t have pets yourself, it never hurts to showcase how pet-friendly your home can be.

Those are just a few of the things you need to keep in mind when selling your home. If you have any questions for us or want us to go over anything for you in further detail, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you.
