Don’t you love it when a home you walk into smells like dogs? I love dogs, especially my pup, Otis P. Mohr, and I’m sure many of you do too, but I know they don’t always leave the most pleasant odors behind. One of the things you’re bringing to the picture when you meet with a seller who has pets is your expertise, and your nose is a big part of your expertise.
“If you’re being honest, that’s what truly matters.”
When you hire a Realtor, you’re hiring someone to give you an honest opinion about your home. Pet smells can detract certain buyers, and it’s not to either of your advantages to ignore it. The seller should be able to count on you to give your honest opinion. Be okay with those uncomfortable conversations. If you’re being honest, that’s all that matters in the end.
I’ve been there before; where I was timid with a seller and ended up not selling their listing because of it. If I had been honest from the start, sure it would have surely led to a slightly uncomfortable sale, but it also would have sold quickly and everyone would have walked away happy.
If I can ever help you advance your real estate career, I’d love to do so. I’ve helped over 3,000 buyers and sellers in my 36 years and I’d love to help you help more people as well.
If you have any questions for me, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or email. Our new office in Berry Hills will be open in the next few months so keep an eye out for news about that. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
