Day 25: Make Plans for the Kids and the Dog/Cat/Hedgehog

No Buyer appreciates all your kids’ toys, finger painting works of art or dirty diapers, so put it all away and plan to keep it concealed.

I love my pets too, but prospective Buyers won’t appreciate the barking/jumping. Plan to get your pets out of the house: Doggie daycare? Grandma and Grandpa? Multiple walks.  And then there’s the cat. If she’s not an outdoor cat and needs to be kept inside, make sure there are signs everywhere and ask your Realtor to warn the showing agents.
