🐕Selling with Pets Series🐈: Tip #2 Patch the Scratch
We love our pets, but . . . they do leave their 'mark' .. just touch them up before selling 🏠.

We talk a lot about🚩 𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗚𝗦 when buying a home… but what about the 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 ones?

Here are 𝟱 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗴𝘀 worth looking for when touring a home: 💚🏡

𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱
A newer roof, furnace, A/C, windows or electrical is great — even better when the sellers have dates, invoices, warranties or permits where applicable.

💚𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝘆
No obvious staining, musty odours or signs of ongoing moisture issues. Take a look around the foundation walls, utility room and underneath stairs — not just the finished spaces.

💚𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲
Proper grading, maintained eavestroughs and downspouts that direct water away from the foundation are all things worth noticing outside.

💚𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱
Straightforward details like flooring transitions, trim, cabinetry, tile and fixtures can give you clues about the quality and care that went into previous improvements.

💚𝗧𝗵𝗲 “𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴” 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗼
A tidy electrical panel, serviced mechanicals, clean utility areas and evidence of routine maintenance can tell you more than fresh paint and beautiful staging ever will.

None of these replace a professional home inspection or proper due diligence, but they can help you know what to look for — and what questions to ask.
📌Save this for your next showing!

As temperatures drop, buyers start paying closer attention to something they may have overlooked all summer: the heating system.

A home’s heating system can influence comfort, maintenance needs and long-term expenses, making it an important consideration when purchasing a home.

Here’s what buyers may want to look at during the fall:

🔥𝗔𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 – Knowing the age of a furnace, heat pump or other heating equipment can help buyers understand its remaining expected lifespan and plan for future replacement costs.

🛠️𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 – Regular maintenance and available service records can provide helpful insight into how the system has been cared for.

⚡𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 – The efficiency of the heating system can play a role in energy consumption and monthly utility costs.

⚖️𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 – Does the home heat evenly? Does the system respond properly to the thermostat? Are there rooms that feel noticeably warmer or cooler?

If you’re planning to sell this fall, having your heating system professionally serviced before listing can help identify minor issues and ensure it’s operating properly when buyers come through.

📌A heating system may not be the first feature buyers notice, but understanding its age, condition and performance can be an important part of evaluating a home.
