Tool #2: Staging Tip of the Month...

Pets a Possible Turn-Off for Prospects? 
 
 
 
 
 
 
According to The Humane Society of the United States:  
  • 39% of U.S. households own at least one dog.
  • Nearly 34% of U.S. households own at least one cat.
This means that between 61-66% of homeowners do not own a cat or dog. Whether the reasons include allergies, aversions or other personal preferences, it's clear that a large portion of prospects viewing your listing that do not own a household pet could be turned off.  You would be losing a potential buyer.

Try to encourage your sellers with pets to come up with creative solutions to keeping pets and their "pet evidence" out of sight when their home is on the market!
