Selling Your Home: Tackling Pet Concerns
Summary:
When selling your home, especially without a real estate broker, consider how pets might impact potential buyers’ perceptions. This article explores the challenges and solutions for pet-related issues.
Understanding the Impact of Pets:
Selling your home? Pets can unintentionally influence buyers' impressions. While real estate brokers often advise on these effects, here's what you need to know if you're managing the sale yourself.
During Home Showings:
When showcasing your home, consider the following potential issues pets might pose:
1. Nervousness: Some buyers may feel uneasy around pets, especially dogs, preventing them from envisioning themselves living in the space.
2. Dislike for Pets: Those who aren’t fond of animals may struggle to picture their furniture and belongings in your home.
3. Future Plans: Potential buyers could be distracted by pets and find it hard to imagine their daily life, including travel routes and errands from their prospective new home.
Simply put, pets can make it challenging for buyers to emotionally connect with the property, reducing the likelihood of a sale.
Minimizing Pet Damage:
For those selling as a FSBO (For Sale By Owner), take these preventive steps:
- Consider boarding your pets while your home is on the market. You can still walk and visit them, but avoid having them at home during showings.
- Deep clean or replace carpets that hold odors, and repair any damage caused by pets.
- Remove or repair furniture that shows signs of pet wear and tear.
- Attend to outdoor spaces by reseeding lawns and fixing any damage to plants.
These measures require some investment but will likely pay off.
Pets are beloved members of many households. However, remember that potential buyers might not share the same affection. Plan accordingly to enhance your home’s appeal.
