Top 4 Tips on Selling San Rafael Luxury Homes with Pets



Putting luxury homes for sale in San Rafael on the market is challenging enough on its own. Selling a home when you have pets can be even more difficult. Sellers are often riddled with various questions. Should you move the pets outs of the house while it is for sale? Will pet odor be a concern?

 

Here's how you can easily sell your luxury homes for sale in San Rafael even when you have pets.

 

Listed below are some tips that will help you market your property even when you have pets.

 

  1. Remove pets during showings

The best thing to do to ensure the highest price for your San Rafael luxury home for sale is to relocate your pets while your home is on the market. Putting your pets in another room or in the backyard is not enough. You need to remove them from your house. You can ask a relative or a friend to take care of them or you can board them temporarily, and for short amounts of time, at a local pet care facility.

 

  1. Erase signs of pets

Removing signs that there are pets in your home is a smart practice. As much as possible, avoid putting photos online showing your pets in your home. Keep food, water bowls, pet beds and pet toys out of sight when they are not in use.  Also, make sure to pack up all cages and carriers.

 

These tips will help you sell your San Rafael luxury homes for sale with pets.

 

  1. Deal with pet odors and stains

It has been said that our sense of smell has a powerful effect on our emotions, our memory, and, the way we see things. While it is possible for you to get used to the smell of your pets over time, potential buyers will surely notice this. In fact, a strong odor, like urine, is one of the main reasons a buyer will pass on a home. Avoid this problem by having your carpets and flooring cleaned by a professional. Another option is to replace the carpets. Also, don’t forget your furniture. If your pet hangs out on your couch or bed as many do you might want to make sure the bed linen is changed frequently and that you have your furniture professionally cleaned as well!

 

  1. Clean your yard

Don’t forget to clean up your yard. The last thing you want to happen is a potential buyer stepping on dog poop or cat litter in the yard. Pick up any messes and replace sod when necessary. Make sure you don’t neglect the yard of your high end home for sale in San Rafael because this is just as important as the inside of the house.

 

Having pets need not be a hindrance to selling your property. Follow these tips and soon enough, you will be on your way to clinching the best deal for your home.
