Do you have a dog or cat that lives indoors with the family? A pet can pose a problem when your property is listed for sale. Even if prospective buyers have pets of their own that smell just like yours, they may be repelled by animal odors as they tour your home. If you have a pet odor problem, you should hire a professional to clean and deodorize the furniture and/or carpets that have been affected. Check the cat box frequently and keep the kitty litter fresh.

Some people have allergies to pet hair or irrational fears of certain animals, so it is a good idea to put dogs or cats outside or confine them to one area when your house is being shown. It is hard for buyers to appreciate your home through puffy, watery eyes or in between sneezes! Even if the house is exactly what they want, your chances of selling it will be diminished if the buyers are afraid of being attacked by Fido.

Many agents think their most important job is satisfying the customer. I don’t think that’s true. I believe that sat­isfying the customer is simply the minimum requirement for staying in business. We work constantly to improve our systems, processes and services to go well beyond the stan­dard level of “service” provided by most agents. We want to make you so satisfied with your decision to hire us that you will gladly refer us to your friends and family.
