How to Sell a House with Pets

Are you a pet lover?  Our pets become part of our family, and we just can't imagine others wouldn't love them as much as we do.  However, when you are looking to sell your house fast with pets, we are wise to keep in mind that it is all about the buyer.  If you are a dog or a cat lover, it might be difficult to understand how other people might not be.  We must realize that not everyone grew up with pets in the house and some potential buyers might be turned away by the presence of pets.

When you have pets, the best practice is to find an alternate location for them during showings.  If you are able to have a neighbor watch them for a few minutes while the home is being shown, then this is a wonderful solution.  

If not, maybe you, a friend or a relative could take your pets for a walk to get them some exercise while buyers are looking at your house.  This gives the potential buyer of your house free and unhindered access while they are viewing. Keep in mind, the goal during a viewing is to make the potential buyer feel as comfortable as possible so they can see themselves living here and calling it their home.  The more comfortable they are, the longer they will stay, and the longer they stay, the more likely they are to make an offer.
