Your dog or cat is a beloved member of your family. When prospective buyers tour your house, though, they are looking for a place they can picture their family living. Here are a few home selling tips for pet owners to consider.
Good Staging
Just as you would remove pictures and personal mementos before a showing, it’s also a good idea to remove overt evidence of your pet, such as hair on the furniture or scratches on the wall.
Odor Control
Before buyers arrive, clean thoroughly. Change the litter box and move it to the garage or the backyard to air it out.
First impressions are important. The more easily potential buyers can see their families living in the house, the more likely they are to buy. Presenting a neutral, pet-free home is a good way to facilitate this vision.
