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.
