5 Best Tips to Sell Your Lake Zoar Home with Pets

Before you show your home to buyers looking for Lake Zoar real estate, it is better to make sure that your home is presentable. Having pets can make the home selling process more challenging. You have to remember that not everyone is fond of your furry friends. Due to this reality, below are some practical tips that can help you sell your home if you have pets:

Consult with your pet’s veterinarian firstEven during the busy days of entertaining potential buyers of Lake Zoar homes for sale, you have to remember that your animal has its own needs as well. These needs are best discussed with a professional.

Talk to the veterinarian about your plans and how it will affect your pets. This is especially helpful if your pet is older and may not be able to easily adjust to major changes. Keep in mind that selling a home can be just as stressful for the pet as it is for the home owner.

Take away pets during showingsWhen selling a home with pets, you ought to remove you them from your home when you are showing the property for sale. Ideally, your trusted real estate agent should show your home, preferably while you are away.

Having a pet in the house or yard can create complications for your agent while trying to show the house. Your pet may accidentally get out during the process. There are also liability issues to deal with. While your pets may be friendly, they may not welcome the presence of strangers in your home.

Remove pet odors and stainsBeing around with your pets for quite some time may get you accustomed to their smell. Know that buyers looking for Lake Zoar waterfront homes will surely notice it and this is something that you should avoid. A strong odor is one of the top reasons a buyer will pass on a home.

As a seller, you have to remember that the sense of smell has a powerful effect on the emotions, the memory and people’s perception of things. Buyers will never forget the initial pet odor they will encounter in your home so make sure to clean every nook and cranny of your home thoroughly.

Conduct a smell checkBefore you put your home on the market, you can ask an exceptionally honest friend who can tell you if your home still reeks of pet odor. You do not want to welcome prospective buyers with a home that smells like wet dog or a very well-decorated litter box.

As a homeowner, you have likely become immune to the stench. That is why you need a friend who cares enough to tell you the truth.

Give your home a deep cleanWhen you have pets, vacuuming the floors and cleaning the countertops are not enough. A deep cleaning is a must especially for those tough to access areas. These include all furniture, underneath all the rugs and inside every closet.

Deep cleaning those hard to reach areas can make a huge difference in your home. If you are not too keen on doing the job yourself, you may hire a professional cleaning service to accomplish this task for you.
