What Should I Do With My Pet During Home Showings?
Like many other homeowners in today's hot seller's market, you may have found yourself cashing out on your equity in order to purchase your forever home! You've taken all the necessary steps - hired an excellent agent to represent you, decluttered and deep cleaned your home, had photos taken and now it's time to open up your home for showings to future buyers. But what to do with Fido and Fluffy while strangers are coming in and out of your home? If leaving them with friends or family during showing hours isn't an option, Verity Group agents highly recommend looking into boarding your fluffy friends during the showing phase of the selling process so that both you and your pet can have peace of mind. If you're local to our Hampton Roads community, check out these 5 wonderful places to board your pets and rest assured they will be in great hands.
