Do you have children? Pets? Showings create chaos in their lives, too! Kids are quickly rushed off to a friend’s or family member’s house or whisked away to the park. Toddlers are parked in a playpen, so you can begin the hurried cleaning process. Maybe your pet gets locked in a crate, sent to the basement, or tied up in the yard. Your dog can’t run around during the showing or even while you clean the house. The poor pooch is cooped up for hours every time a buyer wants to stop by. Children and pets don’t appreciate chaos. They might start misbehaving or need extra attention to counter the stress. The house needs to be spotless from top to bottom. Someone has to rush around frantically cleaning and organizing every time a buyer calls. Chances are, you’re going through all this stress to prepare for someone who was never serious about buying in the first place.
