As much as we love them, pets can cause a myriad of problems on the day of your open house. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that from the smell to the extra dirt, and even the noise, pets will be a big turn-off to the interested buyer who isn’t so interested in animals. Here are a few strategies you can put in place to make sure your furry friend doesn’t ruin the big day.
- Deep clean your home the days before a big open house event. Wash carpets, bedding and pet areas. Come up with a solution for storing smelly food or litter boxes during your open house.
- Wash your pet! Having a clean home won’t do a thing if your dog still stinks.
- Hire a pet sitter. Having your pet out of the house is essential for the event itself, and also gives your home the best chance of not being labeled as “smelly” by non pet-friendly buyers.
If you can’t get your pets out of the house, at least make sure your real estate agent knows about them. Check out below to see what sold in Orchard Hills West in October 2021:
