the dander remains. And if they are not pet owners, many buyers detest the presence
of animal hair which seems to fill up every nook and cranny of a house where pets live.
Unfortunately, there is no convenient solution for this, but if at all possible, consider
finding a place for your pets to stay while the house is active on the market. If you have
a pro-active, skilled agent, that should not be a long period of time. Also, do everything
possible, in terms of cleaning and deodorizing, to remove all signs of animals living in
the house especially any hair and odors.
In summary, here are the key tips that make a house easy to show:
1) House can be seen any time (within reason) with minimal notice.
2) Security system off.
3) Use a Supra lockbox.
4) No pets at the house.
These are simply guidelines that will help make a house easier to show and sell. If you
have special concerns or issues, discuss them with your agent and he/she will work
with you to figure the best solution. Remember the key point is being willing to endure
some inconvenience in order to get a better result.
