Helping Your Kids Feel Involved
- Early Communication: Talk to your children about the move as soon as possible. Explain, in age-appropriate terms, why you’re selling and what the new home might be like.
- Embrace Imagination: Encourage your kids to imagine the possibilities of the new place. Will they have a bigger room? A backyard for a swingset?
- Create a “Showtime Box”: This box can hold toys, books, and other beloved items that can be quickly tucked away during showings. This empowers your kids to be part of the process.
- Rewards and Recognition: Acknowledge the effort your children put into keeping things tidy during showings. Positive reinforcement goes a long way!
Making Things Easy on Your Pets
- Routine is Key: As much as possible, maintain your pet’s regular feeding and walking schedule during showings. This helps reduce anxiety.
- Create a Safe Haven: Designate a quiet area, like a crate or a specific room, where your pet can relax during showings. Provide familiar toys and bedding for comfort.
- Consider Professional Help: If your pet experiences significant stress with strangers, consult a pet sitter or trainer for temporary boarding or calming techniques.
Remember, a well-prepared home, with the needs of your entire family considered, is a home that sells quickly and smoothly. By including your kids and pets in the process, you can create a positive and memorable experience for everyone.
