How Can You Sell Your Home If You Have Pets?

If you have a pet and need to get your home sold, there are a few things you can do to make sure that pet doesn’t negatively affect your home sale.

How can you sell your home if you have pets? 

50% of all homeowners have pets of some kind, and some require more planning when showing a home than others. If you have a bird you keep in a cage, for example, this conversation doesn’t really apply to you. If you have a dog, however, here are some different ideas you can use to make sure they don’t impede your home sale.

A lot of dogs do very well in crates for a determined period of time.

The first thing you can do is put your dog in a crate. A lot of dogs do very well in crates for a determined period of time while you know that your agent is coming. You can also leave them in the house in a designated room like the kitchen or laundry room. 

If they’re going to bark a lot, take the dog with you while the home is being shown. Another option is to take your dog to a doggie daycare facility. For as little as $10 a day, you can leave them there all day and your agent can show the house without worrying if the buyer they’re courting isn’t dog-friendly. 

If you have any more questions about selling your home with a pet, don’t hesitate to give me a call. I’d be happy to help.

Are You up for the Action That Comes With the Spring Market?

The spring market is an amazing time to list your house for sale, but it's also a more tumultuous time in real estate.

The spring real estate market is underway, but what does that mean exactly?

For one, there's a lot more activity in the spring. There are more people looking to buy homes and more people looking to sell their homes. 

If you list this spring, you might even receive multiple offers for your home.

There's also more drama. We might list a house for sale and have eight showings on the property within a week. That means having two or three showings a day, and that can get exhausting. 

However, with that comes the opportunity for multiple offers on your home if you're selling. If the house hits the market at the right time under the right conditions, you might be able to expect multiple offers. That would probably mean two or three offers, not 10 or 20. 

Selling your house in the spring can be more challenging overall for buyers, sellers, and real estate agents because it demands much more energy. 

If you're thinking about selling your house this spring while conditions are ripe, give us a call or send us an email. We'd love to help you.
