TOP 3 Things To Look For When Buying A Pet Friendly Home
Our pets are part of our family, so when we buy a home, we want them to feel comfortable in that home. It's important to know what to look for when purchasing a home that your pet will be living in with you. As a dog lover and experienced real estate agent at the Lake of the Ozarks, I'd like to give you 3 KEY things to look for when purchasing your dream home at the Lake of the Ozarks.
Pay attention and familiarize yourself with the city and county ordinances. Typically, they can require you to obey leash laws and clean up after your pet in public places. Non-compliance can result in fines.
If you plan to house a farm animal as a pet, such as a goat or a donkey, clarify the zoning regulations with the proper officials. House pets, such as dogs, birds, fish, and rabbits are usually acceptable in most types of housing, there may be restrictions on the total number of animals allowed in a single home.
Bigger homes, such as a single-family home may be likely to provide more space for your pet, a condo may be what fits your budget. Condos typically have HOA rules that govern what is and isn't allowed. Certain HOAs allow pets but restrict them to certain parts of the property. It is possible that you will face fines for violating the rules.
Ask yourself this, "Will my pet be comfortable in this home?" Is there enough yard space? Is the yard fenced in? Will my pet be more comfortable on carpet or tile or carpet? Examine the home thoroughly and check for these things to see if it's suitable for your pet.
I hope these points help you as you search for your next pet-friendly home. If you are in need of assistance while searching for that home, as your real estate agent, I will:
• Educate you about the current real estate market
• Help understand your needs
• Be an active listener
• Preview listings so I don't waste your time
• Walk you through the "buying process"
• Negotiate aggressively
• Always call you back promptly
• Show you properties until we fulfill your dream
• Address all your questions and concerns
• Treat you as a valued friend
• Stay in touch as you enjoy your dream
I represent my clients with honesty, integrity and a promise to meet their needs and achieve their goals. I do this with enthusiasm and professionalism, and I differentiate myself by being positive and listening to my clients. My hope is that through real estate, I can help others enjoy similar "magical memories" like I have with my family here at my home the Lake of the Ozarks.
