House Odors and Selling Your dog or cat 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. If you have a pet odor problem, you should remove the offending furniture or carpets or hire a professional to clean them. Check the cat box frequently and keep the litter fresh. Some people have allergies 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 are less if the buyers are afraid of being eaten by Fido. |
