Selling Your Home With Pets
You might love your dog, but your potentail buyer may not be so impressed. Whether its because of allergies or simply not being a dog person, many buyers get turned off by homes with pets. Here’s how you can show your house to buyers without having a rough time.
Find an alternate location where you can keep your pet, like a neighbor’s house or a family member’s. If you are unable to temporarily relocate your dog, put him or her in a pet carrier when you have buyers looking through the house. Your dog should not stay in such a small space for more than two hours, but this will give buyers more than enough time to look through the house and ask any questions.
If your house has some pet odors or carpet stains, hire a professional cleaner to remove them. Buyers will immediately smell the odor of an animal and form an unfavorable early opinion.
