A tip for sellers with pets

If your home is for sale, pets can affect showings. A few easy steps help:

Keep litter boxes out of sight and clean.
Vacuum pet hair before every showing.
Remove or wash pet beds.
Plan where your pet goes during a showing. Some buyers are allergic or nervous around animals.
Fix scratches on doors and floors if you can.
