Tips For Selling Homes With Pets

While preparing to sell your property, vacuum daily. Dog hair is usually a huge turnoff to possible buyers. Pay careful attention to the 4 corners and edges of carpeting. Dog fur can build up in these areas and vacuums can't often clean them properly.

Make sure you clean your furniture as well. Try a lint roller to clean cloth chairs and sofas. If your carpets have pet stains, have them professionally cleaned. When the stains remain even after professional cleaning, think about replacing the carpet. Potential buyers have stain radar and will automatically assume the worst if they see them. There have been situations where dog or cat urine has seeped into the flooring and damaged the foundation. Pet stains are a red flag to real estate agents and prospective buyers alike.

As odors, you can ask someone to give your home a sniff test. Always clean and freshen your home every day till it sells. During open houses, try boiling cinnamon in water or simmer apple cider on the stove to cover any lingering odors.

Following these fast tips should have your home successful as well as have buyers begging to move in.
