H2 Title (different wording of main title)

Owning pets brings love, joy, and companionship — but it can also result in damage to floors, walls, doors, and yards that makes selling your home a challenge. Many buyers are turned off by stains, odors, scratched flooring, or torn carpets caused by pets.

At M1 Home Buyers, we specialize in buying houses as-is, including those with extensive pet damage. Whether you have stubborn carpet stains, chewed woodwork, lingering odors, or destroyed landscaping, we’ll buy your home for cash, fast, and hassle-free.

Can You Sell a House With Pet Damage in Michigan?

Yes! Pet damage (urine stains, scratched floors, chewed walls) scares away traditional buyers, but cash buyers like M1 Home Buyers purchase as-is. Your options:

1. Repair & Sell Traditionally ($5,000-$20,000+ in fixes)
2. List As-Is with a Realtor (6% fees + lowball offers)
3. Sell to a Cash Buyer (Fastest & easiest solution)

Sell Your House for Cash in Three Easy Steps

Before you call a real estate agent, you owe it to yourself to explore other options for selling your house fast in City. Instead of going through a complicated process in a traditional sale, you can work directly with our team and skip the realtor. Our process is simple.

Step 1: Contact Us

When you are ready to sell your house, the first step is to call us and schedule a walkthrough of the house. It’s fast and easy, and there is no obligation to sell your house. Feel free to ask questions. We are here to help!

Step 2: Get a Cash Offer

We will assess your property and decide if we want to make an offer. If we like what we see, we will make a fair cash offer at just under the market value of your home. In most cases, we can make an offer within 24 to 48 hours.

Step 3: Close and Get Paid

If you accept our offer, the next step is to schedule a convenient closing date. Simply show up, sign the paperwork, and walk away with no strings attached. We pay most or all of the closing costs, which save you money.

The Challenges Of Selling A Home With Pet Damage

1. Lingering Pet Odors

Even after cleaning, urine and animal odors can persist in carpets, subfloors, or walls, deterring traditional buyers.

2. Scratched Floors And Doors

Pets’ nails scratch hardwood floors and chew door frames or trim, often requiring costly repairs before listing.

3. Stained Carpets And Upholstery

Old pet stains seep into carpet padding, needing full replacement to pass buyer inspections.

4. Destroyed Landscaping

Dogs can dig holes in yards, kill grass, or destroy fencing, which reduces curb appeal.

5. Health Concerns For Buyers

Some buyers have allergies or health sensitivities to dander and pet hair, limiting your buyer pool significantly.
