Pet damage and odors can be instant turn offs for potential buyers. Here’s how to get your home ready for buyers!
- If you have a pet, you might need to invest in repairs and a deep cleaning to get it ready for showings.
- A persistent odor is one of the most common issues that sellers with pets face. A professional cleaning might solve the problem, or you might have to replace the carpets.
- If your pet damaged the house by chewing or scratching, you might need to hire a contractor to make repairs.
- A landscaper can fill in holes that your dog dug, plant new grass and fix the garden.
- Potential buyers want to imagine themselves living in your home. Before showings, remove your pet and any sign of it from the house.
Your real estate agent can give you advice on how to handle pet-related issues and recommend local professionals who can help.
