As adorable as your Fido or Fifi is, not everyone appreciates domesticated animals. Some buyers have a fear or allergy to cats or dogs which will make them flee! Other potential buyers can become so enamored with your pet, they remember the pet, but not your house when they leave! Often, pet owners can not have a lock box because of unruly pet behavior, limiting showings.
Here’s some practical advise to quicken the sale.
Remove pet photos, pet toys, pet bed, etc. from primary areas. Living, dining, bedrooms, and den should be pet neutral. Hide pet food and water bowls during show times. Use air fresheners to neutralize pet odors. Hire professionals to clean any carpet stains. Take pets out for the day during open houses. Repair any signs of pet damage such as scratched doors or chewed moldings.
