Tips for Selling
Your Home When
You Have a Dog
Dogs might be man’s best friend,
but that doesn’t mean it will be
easy to stage and show a home
with a four-legged gatekeeper on
the job. From an overly exuberant
personality to downright gruff demeanor, dogs
can make it tough to show a home. Following are
some ways to minimize distress to Fido and
ensure that visitors are safe and that the house
remains as appealing as possible.
Clean It Up: Because we love our
dogs, we don’t always see what
is in front of our very eyes. Take
a good look around. Pick up the
dog toys, fill any holes in the backyard, and be
sure to dust and vacuum any pet hair before
allowing anyone in the home.
Notify: Make sure the listing
agent includes a note that
informs everyone about a dog
on the premises and whether
there are any special instructions for dealing
with visitors. Not only will this prevent a sudden
surprise visit that could startle the dog, but it
also provides important information to buyers
who may suffer from asthma or allergies.
Schedule: Whenever possible,
ask agents to schedule visits
around a time when you can
take the dog out for a walk or
drive. This allows prospective buyers and the
agent to direct attention toward the home and
amenities rather than deal with the pet.
Contingency Plans: Take
special precautions to make
sure pets have proper
identification. Mistakes happen,
and a beloved pet can escape or get loose without
anyone realizing it. Leave special instructions on
where the pet belongs at all times and what to do
in the event of an emergency.
