Pet Owners as Home Sellers by Gail Spada, PA, GRI , ePRO, AHWD, SFR - - Century 21 Alliance Realty, Spring Hill, FL
Pet owners as home sellers
 

I love pets. Not just mine, but others’. And I have a special concern for those that are orphaned or homeless. I’m pleased to express that concern by being an active supporter of both the Humane Society of the Nature Coast and the SPCA of Hernando County. I was the primary sponsor of both organizations’ annual golf tournaments this year, and the events raised more than $23,000 combined to help sustain these indispensable community resources. I also donate a portion of my professional fee to the Humane Society every time I close on a “pet parents” home. (Check out this video!)
But my personal fondness for our furry friends sometimes is at odds with my professional commitment to my customers who are listing homes in Brooksville and Spring Hill. Marketing a home where pets are present can be a problem. Even if your dog or cat is well-behaved and well-trained, and you are a meticulous housekeeper, there are inherent risks. Odors and hair are unavoidable, and are sometimes accompanied by stains. Even home buyers who have their own pets aren’t always understanding. They may be used to their pets, but they are less accepting of a stranger’s.
