Selling Highlands NC Real Estate, Pets
Meadows Mountain Realty, Highlands NC real estate
Many people wonder what to do with pets when selling Highlands NC real estate. It’s a good question, especially because not all buyers will be “pet people”. Additionally, not all pets are the same. Cats and dogs are considered normal pets whereas birds and reptiles may be considered exotic pets. Regardless of the pet, when a Highlands NC home is listed for sale there should always be a plan for what to do with pets during showings.
Signs of pets may be everywhere
It is very possible that a pet could be gone from a Highlands NC home for sale but signs of its presence could be everywhere. This includes odors, hair, toys, and other accouterments. Food bowls, litter boxes, beds, crates, and cages can all have odors associated with them. As a result, it is important to put all pet-related items out of sight whenever possible. While pet-related paraphernalia may be super clean it can still come with the memory of scent. When it doubt keep it out of sight!
Have a plan
Always have a plan for what to do with pets when a Highlands NC home is on the market. Showings can happen at any time. While pets are not always a welcome sight to buyers they are important to the sellers. No one wants a dog or cat to get out and get lost during a showing. If pets must stay in a home during showings it is best to keep them in a space that can be avoided. While a garage is an important space it can be overlooked during an initial showing if necessary. However, it is recommended to have pets out of the home whenever possible.
