How to Sell Your Home with Pets

As someone that has helped over 500 families buy and sell homes over the last 8 years, I can say without hesitation that it is much more difficult to sell a home if the animals are there while a home buyer is viewing it.

Prospective home buyers do not want to see your animals.

As an animal lover that can be difficult to hear. However, it is an accurate statement.

The thing is this...when you have home buyers walking through your home, you want their visit to be perfect.

The home should smell great...

The home should be clean...

The ambiance must be ideal...

You want the prospective home buyer to envision themselves living their lives in your home.

If they see your animals in the backyard, they cannot picture their life...it breaks the moment.

If they smell your animals in a kennel in the home, they will not be able to take a mental vacation and dream of their new home.

If they hear your dogs barking, they will lose focus and will not picture a new life in your home.

You never want a prospective home buyer to remember your home as the pet home.

Home Doggz can help.

I am a licensed Real Estate agent that has access to your home just as any other Real Estate Professional does.

I have access to CSS (Centralized Showing Service). This is where showing schedules are located. It ensures that there are not multiple showings at the same time and it is also a tracking tool to see who is in the home at what times.

Home Doggz will make arrangements to remove the dogs from the home.

We will either take them to a park, take them on a walk, or take them to a secure location at our residence if necessary.

The benefit to you as a home seller is a substantially better home selling opportunity.

With so many homes for sale, your prospective home buyers have many options. Don't let them rule you out based on your showing situation.

Home Doggz is a pet sitting service that services Carrollton, Allen, Frisco, Lewisville and surrounding cities. We are a fun, creative, successful and happy bunch that are driven by our servant hearts. Curt Fletcher founded Home Doggz after a very successful career in Real Estate where he helped over 500 families find homes...and he cannot wait to help you too!!
