Selling Your Knoxville Home When You Have Pets

We all love our pets. Unfortunately, selling your Knoxville home when you have pets isn’t always easy. Pets can be difficult to have around during showings,  do damage to your home, and cause unappealing odors. So, how to you manage selling your Knoxville home when you have pets?

Prior to putting your Knoxville home on the market, it can be helpful to repair any damage that your beloved pets have caused. Both dogs and cats will do their fair share of  damage to flooring, walls, doors, among many other things. It is important to take care of repairing these items prior to putting your home on the market. Buyers aren’t going to want to move in and repair the damage that your beloved dog or cat did to the woodwork. Not only will this help you get a better price, it will also help sell your Knoxville home faster.

Odors are another thing that need to be tackled. Unfortunately, pets can be the cause of some very unpleasant odors, some of which many sellers become immune to. In order to help tackle these odors, be sure to do deep clean of your home and keep your home clean when selling your home. It can also be helpful to get carpets cleaned to help remove any lingering pet odors. It is also important to be sure that your pets clean.

Finally, pets can sometimes be difficult to have around for showings, particularly if they are dogs. If you are not able to put pets up and away from during showings, consider removing them from your Knoxville home completely during showings. If it is possible to take them to work with your, have a family member pick them up, or enroll them in doggy daycare.
