Where to put your pet instructions so buyers actually see them.

Not a note on the door. By the time someone reads that, they're already inside and the dog already knows it. It goes in the showing instructions attached to the listing, so it reaches the buyer's agent before they ever schedule — that's the only place it does any good. Be specific about the part people forget: not just where the dog will be, but what happens when someone walks past. A dog barking behind a garage door for 20 minutes shortens a showing whether anyone says so or not, and short showings are the ones nobody remembers. It costs you twice, actually. Buyers who spend a showing managing a situation don't picture their own furniture in the room. And the agent who walks them through writes you three words of feedback instead of thirty. None of which is about being a bad pet owner. It's that a showing is a 20-minute window and anything using up that window is competing with your house. And if you're the seller with a camera running during showings, that's a whole separate conversation — I made that one already. ⭐ Kelsey Earl, 801-419-8917, [email protected], Keller Williams South Valley, your lifelong friend in real estate. #utahrealestate #homesellingtips #showingtips #sellingyourhome #utahrealtor
