April 11th is National Pet Day to celebrate our furry, feathery, and scaly friends who bring us so much joy. As a Realtor, I understand how important pets are to many homebuyers and how they can play a crucial role in homebuying.
Here are just a few ways pets can make great homebuying companions:
They help you stay active: Many pet owners enjoy taking their dogs for walks, runs, or hikes. This can be a great way to explore potential neighborhoods and get a feel for the community.
They provide emotional support: Pets can help reduce stress and anxiety, which can be especially important during the often-stressful homebuying process.
They can help you make decisions: Bringing your pet to home viewings can give you a sense of how they'll adjust to the new space and help you make a more informed decision. Please ensure your agent knows and has made arrangements before scheduling the showing.
They're a great icebreaker: If you're touring a home with a friendly dog or cat, it can be a great way to break the ice with the seller and establish a positive rapport.
They'll love your new home as much as you do: Pets are creatures of habit and routine and can adjust to a new home. But once they've settled in, they'll be as happy and comfortable in your new space as you are.
So this National Pet Day, I want to shout out to all the fantastic pets who improve our lives. And if you're thinking about buying a new home, consider bringing your furry friend along for the journey!
