Why Your Furry Friends Might Be Hurting Your Home Sale

Pets are family. Whether it's your dog’s tail-wagging greeting at the door or your cat’s curious nap spots, our furry friends make a house feel like home. But when it comes time to sell that home, pets can sometimes create more challenges than comfort, especially if you're short on time, money, or energy to prep the property for picky buyers.

If you're thinking about selling your home and you’ve got a crew of four-legged roommates, here’s what you need to know and how selling as-is to fast homebuyers might be the best option.

The Smell Factor

Even the most beloved pet can leave behind odors that are hard to ignore. Lingering smells from litter boxes, accidents, or even wet fur can sink deep into carpets, walls, and furniture. While you might be used to it, potential buyers won’t be. Scent is one of the first things people notice when they walk into a home, and if it’s not fresh, they’ll walk right back out.

Deep cleaning or replacing flooring can be expensive, especially if multiple pets have lived in the home. When you work with experienced fast homebuyers, you don’t have to spend a dime fixing pet-related damage or deodorizing your space.

Wear and Tear

Scratched hardwood, chewed-up trim, torn window screens, and stained carpets are just part of the reality of living with pets. While those imperfections may not bother you, they stand out to traditional buyers and can drive down your home’s value.

Repairing all that damage can be overwhelming. If you're already busy caring for your pets, managing daily life, and considering your next move, the idea of renovating your home before selling can seem impossible.

That’s where selling as-is comes in. At Best Price Homebuyers, we buy homes in any condition with no repairs, no clean-up, and no judgment.

Showing Stress

Trying to schedule showings around your pets' routines (or their messes) can be a logistical nightmare. Dogs barking during tours, cats darting out the door, or the need to crate animals at the last minute add unnecessary stress to an already stressful process.

With a direct sale to fast homebuyers, you skip the showings entirely. You won’t need to clean for open houses or worry about your pets being in the way. We’ll make a fast, fair offer based on the condition your home is in right now.

Sell Without the Hassle

You shouldn’t have to choose between your pets and a fair home sale. If your house has a few too many paw prints to appeal to traditional buyers, selling as-is could be your best bet.

At Best Price Homebuyers, we’re here to make the process fast, simple, and stress-free for you and your pets. Reach out today to connect with fast homebuyers who understand your situation and are ready to help you move on without the usual hassle.
