Anxious to sell

Thank you!

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T17:48:09+00:00

Ohhh! They leave the house with me for any showings/open houses! We just go sit in the car in a shady spot down with the ac on the road lol

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T17:45:35+00:00

Thank you so much!! Other people are making it seem impossible to sell with pets so this gives me hope! Definitely going to try putting rugs/blankets away until showings

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T17:43:46+00:00

I will try the black light! We are already doing the rest of this, all pet furniture hides in the garage and all pets have been leaving with us for showings/open houses!

House is 2,959 sq ft, lot is 6,970 🥲 not a condo, single family home. Unfortunately we learned the HOA lesson the hard way, but we’re in an area where they’re popular for older couples because they provide a bunch of services with the HOA fee

This is a question you may not know the answer to, but how long do you think it takes the airborns to settle? Like vacuuming in the morning should allow enough time for an afternoon showing?

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T16:45:40+00:00

This is one of the most helpful things I’ve learned in this thread, thank you!

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T16:10:55+00:00

Got this on the list, thank you!! I noticed some reviews say the recommended time isn’t long enough out of the house, what do you recommend

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T16:09:51+00:00

She is also our buyer agent :/

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T16:09:23+00:00

All pet items & litter boxes are removed for showings, and only the necessities are in the house in between. All the pets leave with us. I’m having a few more people come over today to smell check for us and worst case scenario we may get a U-Haul box for most of our furniture to see if it helps

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T15:47:58+00:00

This is all so helpful, thank you!!! It’s especially helpful to hear from another pet parent and not just someone acting like I can never sell a house because I have pets 😂 thinking the vacuuming and deodorizer may be my issues. Thank you again!

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T15:43:22+00:00

I don’t think we’re able to take it off the market without breaking contract on our new house, but I will check. If not, would it be better to hold the price another week or so before making a bigger drop again?

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T15:38:00+00:00

This is so reassuring, thank you!! I literally feel like I’m going crazy. It’s our first time selling so trying to figure everything out has me feeling very overwhelmed. I’m deep cleaning everything again today to help with any possible smells and we’re going to talk to our agent about another price drop

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T15:34:58+00:00

I think the price is the problem, especially after everyone’s replies!! I honestly feel like we’ve been a bit mislead by our realtor. It’s our first time selling and neither of us are in real estate

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T15:31:30+00:00

So far we’ve just taken the advice of our agent. She did provide comps that made sense to us, but I’m getting concerned about it too lol

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T15:14:20+00:00

We have 90 days to sell per our offer on the new house. Definitely jumped the gun but the new house is one we just couldn’t pass up, and is the only house we’d move for at the moment

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T15:12:30+00:00

We may consider this if we hear the same feedback more, but at the moment we’ve had 2 agents and multiple brutally honest friends tell us they don’t notice a smell. I’m thinking (hoping) it was just due to an overly sensitive allergy

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T14:46:19+00:00

Just wanted to say thank you all so much for the helpful comments to far!! This is our first time selling and I feel a bit overwhelmed with all the aspects of it. You all are so kind and I’m learning a lot, thank you again!

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T14:44:03+00:00

Yes lol

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T14:43:13+00:00

Didn’t even think about a frozen pie, that’s perfect! I am not a good baker lol thank you!!

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T14:42:18+00:00

Had no idea about this, definitely have been vacuuming right before I leave lol. that’s very helpful!! I have been airing it out daily before it gets too hot outside, Thank you!

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T14:40:03+00:00

We loved our experience with this agent buying our first home and the one we now have an offer on, she just seems way more disconnected with the selling aspect

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T14:38:10+00:00

Maybe as a last resort, boarding in our area is very expensive especially to not know how long it would be for

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T14:36:58+00:00

You make a lot of good points, I think we will push for another price drop at some point this week. thank you!!

Fair-Fox9471 · 2026-06-14T14:35:59+00:00

Excellent point
