If You Can Smell It, You Won’t Sell It...

March 3, 2017

Everyone loves pets until they’re house hunting. In the Biz, we say, "If you can smell it, you won't sell it!" Think about it, if the scent of Kitty's litterbox and Bowser's bad breath is all one can smell, you just lost the sale.

While more and more of our clients have dogs or cats to consider when relocating, they do not want to smell yours when they are looking to buy.

What do the experts recommend?

Diane Saatchi, an East Hampton, NY, real estate broker with Saunders & Associates says, “We love our pets, whether they be dogs, cats, hamsters, capybaras, hedgehogs, or pygmy goats—but that doesn’t mean that they want to see said pets (or any evidence of them) when looking at a home they’re thinking of buying. Pets are either an attractive distraction, so cute they distract prospective buyers from looking at the real estate, or completely the opposite—smelly, frightening, or otherwise off-putting.”

Don’t want your precious property to be known as “that dog house”? Well, you need to pet-proof your place when preparing and showing it for sale.
