Recently, I showed a great looking home. When we went into the home, the smell of cat pee was overwhelming! I would advise that you remove all animals when showing a home. Not everybody likes dog & cat hair, pee, and such in their carpet. The other issue is the smells. People can detect the presence of a cat or dog just by the smell. Even if it is a “clean” animal and hasn’t used the kitchen as a toilet. Many people are allergic to pets.
This is a deal killer for many buyers, even when they are pet owners. Have the carpets cleaned really well and take your animals with you when a buyer is walking the home.
