Selling a House with Pets at Home

​If you are selling you home, no doubt your realtor has given you a list of things to do around the house to create a clean slate for potential buyers.  Top of the list includes you and your family not being present during showings, including your pets.
 
You may think leaving them in a garage, kennel, or yard will suffice. Not really.  Here is are things to consider:

  1. Potential buyers want to view the entire property, including whatever room or area your pet is staying.  Give them a full access pass!
  2. Your dog will be stressed with strangers coming in and out of your house.  This stress not only will affect your pet, but can affect your showing.  Some dogs will have accidents when they are stressed.  This reaction or barking is not welcoming.
  3. Curious buyers will open a gate to see the entire property, potentially letting your dog or cat out of an enclosure or fenced yard.    
  4. You can be held liable for your pet biting someone on your property.  Your dog or cat may not normally be a biter, but with strangers coming in your home and possibly interacting with your pet they can behave quite differently.  Don't take this risk!
  5. Some people are scared of dogs and will not go in to a property with one on site.
 
So, what do you do?  Take your pets off site during showings.  Take them for a walk or leave them with a friend.  If this is not an option for you, consider a local day care or boarding facility.  Your pet can be socialized and play with friends while you sell your home. 
 
Our service is recommended by many local realtors giving their clients flexible hours and competitive rates.  We have a fantastic day care and boarding program.  Dogs will enjoy their stay with us and you will have a piece of mind during your transition.
