Realtors: Take Care of Pet Waste before Selling a Home

Last updated 12 months ago

If you are a realtor who seeks to make your clients’ homes as marketable as possible, you know all about the importance of curb appeal. When selling a property that has been occupied by a family pet for several years, ensuring that every trace of pet waste has been removed helps to boost both the home’s attractiveness and overall appeal. Before putting a home on the market, take the following pet waste removal steps to make that the home is cleaner, safer, and more appealing to prospective buyers.

Waste Removal: Before any potential buyers visit a home that you are selling, you should ensure that all pet waste has been removed from both the front and back lawns. Even if prospective buyers have pets themselves, the sight of pet droppings can signal improper maintenance and neglect.
Odor Elimination: First impressions can mean everything to prospective homeowners. To maximize a home’s attractiveness, have a professional deodorize the yard to eliminate odor from pet urine and other unpleasant elements. That way, potential buyers will focus only on the home and not on the lingering scent in the air.
Parvocidal Disinfectant: Treating a yard with parvocidal disinfectant can protect future homeowners’ pets from exposure to parvovirus, a contagious virus that is spread to canines that come into contact with infected feces. Canine parvovirus can be treated, but disinfecting the yard is a prevention measure that can save homeowners from worry and vet bills.
