Furry Paws and Big Hearts - SoCal Dog Meetup

Selling Your Home Stress-Free (Yes, Even With Pets)

Join our expert team for an engaging and informative webinar designed to guide you from the moment you begin deciding if it is truly the right time to sell, all the way through handing over the keys.

Real estate contracts, disclosures, and laws have undergone a significant number of changes over the past five years. Understanding how those updates impact your sale, your liability, and your bottom line matters more than ever.

We will also address one of the most common and stressful concerns for sellers: selling a home with pets. Whether you have dogs that live in the backyard, cats that hide under the bed, or animals that are not particularly friendly with visitors, we will share practical strategies to help you prepare your home, arrange showings, and navigate inspections in a way that minimizes stress for both you and your pets while still protecting your sale.

With current interest rates influencing buyer behavior and days on market shifting, knowing when and how to sell can make a meaningful difference in your final outcome. Whether you are preparing to sell for the first time or hoping to improve on a previous sale, this Zoom call with Kimberly and David provides clear, practical guidance grounded in today’s market realities.

Questions are encouraged. Through expert insight, real life examples, and interactive discussion, we will cover:

• How to determine whether now is the right time to sell based on current interest rates and market conditions
• What today’s days on market really mean and how to avoid poorly timed or overpriced listings
• How to declutter and prepare your home so it shows like a model home, even without major renovations
• How to successfully sell a home with pets, including showing strategies, safety planning, and reducing stress for animals and owners
• Which pre sale repairs are worth doing and which ones typically are not
• How to avoid common missteps such as inspection surprises, overlooked listing photos, and launching on the wrong market days
• Proven marketing and negotiation strategies that attract strong buyers and protect your bottom line
• What to expect from listing through closing so there are no surprises along the way

Join us for a Evening Neighborhood Sniffari as we explore the beautiful area of River's End Park with our pups!
Sun sets early, so bring a flashlight if you like (the neighborhood does have street lights) and all your doggie glow gear!
We’ll take a leisurely one-hour stroll through the park and nearby area letting our dogs get in new sniffs.
Experts tell us just 20 minutes of sniffing is equivalent to an hour’s walk in terms of enrichment for your dog! We will make frequent stops to let our dogs do what they do best and the rest of the group catch up. If the pups want to sniff, the pups will sniff!

This is a great way to get some fresh air, meet fellow dog lovers, and let our pups enjoy new sights and smells and allow us to learn more about our city! All friendly dogs are welcome! 🐶

Meeting Spot: In front of The Beach House @ Seal Beach

Let’s sniff, strut, and explore together! 🚶‍♀️🐾🏡
