Pets issues during and after home staging


About 50 % of the audience that'll tour your house is going to love pets; another half won't. While you may consider your pets part of the family, there is a pretty good possibility that the one who buys your house does not want almost anything to do having a family pet. Your safest bet, then, would be to make sure that there aren't any visible signs and symptoms of a dog. That includes but isn't restricted to stowing photographs, art, water and food dishes, food in the pantry, kitty litter (Stow it in the trunk of your car.) - not to mention you need to get Fido and Miss Kitty off premises, too.

The best way forward we now have to handle your pet objection indoors is by using the new Air machine by EcoQuest to eradicate pet odor and dander from your house. Outside signs that there is a pet in residence are outdoor dog houses, enclosures, pet waste, leashes, or chains.

If you will have a backyard enclosure, make sure it's neat and in good repair. The subtle message to buyers is that if you don't care enough about your pets to maintain them clean, the remainder of the home is likely to be in bad shape, too.

Don't risk losing sales since you don't deal with pet details. One house Christine saw recently were built with a yard that was the large selling feature, however, you couldn't walk anywhere for fear of stepping in doggy doo. The house seller said, "Oh, we'll fix it up before we move." If she couldn't be bothered before the vendor made a deal, what confidence can you have that she'd get it done after she knew she was moving? If you have pets, make sure that before every showing you

Remove all proof of pets (leashes, bowls, food) and take your pet along with you during showings.

Ask family, friends, or perhaps a neighbor to deal with your pets before home is sold.

Take a look at your local doggy daycare or pet spa for rates and hours of availability. Many of these places are excellent, caring facilities where dogs like to choose socializing, play, and love. Because Christine travels extensively, she will verify the love and fun her Yorkie mix, Timmy, gets from their store.

Search for creative solutions for your pets. Jan recently staged a home in which the family had two iguanas plus some fish in residence. She suggested the iguanas visit in the kid's school while the home was on the market.
