Selling Home

The longer your home sits on the market the more time and money it is going to cost to maintain. So if you want to get things rolling and have the sale handled quickly you want to make sure all problems with the property are addressed prior to the sale. Often times buyers will negotiate the price of the home in anticipation for how much they think or guess dealing with the animal problem will cost in the long run if not taken care of prior to the sale. This may seem like the logical option seeing as how you would not have to be directly involved in the project, it could save you time, you could make a quick sale, and you could move on with your life. However, this is something that often cost the seller thousands of dollars more than just simply taking care of the animal problem prior to the sale. You would be amazed at how a simple $100.00 service can turn into $1000.00 at the point of the home sale just because the buyer doesn’t know what to expect and is unsure what it is going to ultimately cost.

How can we help:

We recommend remedying the animal situation but not going above and beyond by taking additional preventive measures to prevent future animal problems from occurring. In this type of situation you certainly don’t want to leave someone with an animal problem but also you don’t want to go to great expense for long term preventive animal control when you will no longer be living in the home.

We can perform a full inspection of the home and work on the seller’s behalf to insure that things are handle professionally and cost effectively. During the animal inspection we inspect the roof, soffits, fascia, gutters, vents, attic, crawl space, foundation, deck, porch, patio, and any other necessary areas where animal activity can occur. We look for signs like droppings, urine, disturbance to insulation, rub marks, paw prints, chew marks, scratch marks, damaged wiring, damaged duct piping, animal fur, smells, and sounds. We also use high tech equipment to complete these inspections such as thermal detection cameras, pin hole cameras, motion cameras, and listening devices. We determine if there are wild animals currently living in the home or if there is any evidence that wild animals have lived in the home in the past. We will also give you recommendations for how to remedy the animal problem, recommendations for cleanup, and recommendations for preventive measures so that the animal problem doesn’t occur again. We also provide warranties on the repair services we offer so that you can be at ease knowing that you are covered in the instance an animal returns.
