1.  Make the backyard as safe and appealing as possible - Sellers should try to make time to tend to their backyard.  It should have a neat lawn and be free of any debris.  A reliable fence is also very important to pet friendly buyers.  It doesn't have to be beautiful, just functional and safe!

2.  Have designated areas in your listing for our four legged friends.  Does your seller have an area in the house devoted to their pets?  If they do, be sure to have them highlight this area for pictures and showings.  If not, it is an inexpensive way to show off the property to pet friendly buyers.

3.  Place a one page "Nearby Pet Friendly Vendors" on your kitchen counter.   Pet friendly owners love to be close to stores and areas built with pets in mind. You should provide a list of all the places the sellers go to care for their pets and share it in a nice flyer at the listing.

Welcome Pet Friendly Friends

Pet Friendly Homes for Sale is a Realtor's one stop shop finding out how to make all things in Real Estate pet friendly. 

Adam Wright, creator and owner of the website, has two German Shepherds, Sadie and Ranger.   Sadie is the older of the two and a stern bigger sister for her younger brother.   Ranger gets out of line from time to time like every puppy.  She lets him know what is right and wrong and the rules of playing in Sadie's yard.     

Adam's love of  the dogs gave him an way to make an instant connection with his clients who were pet lovers.   This website is the result of his desire to help other Realtors learn from his experiences  to be better at serving pet friendly clients.   

Adam is part of the Chris Wallace Team at Fathom Realty.  He works, plays and lives in Fort Worth, Texas.

This yard is perfect for your pets.   Although not all pets need a year, there are plenty of dog lovers out there so be sure to show them the backyard.  You need to tak the buyer on a guided tour of the back yard and work to show them what they can do for their dogs in each part.

Even though the sellers didn't make the house pet friendly. You can show your buyers how you would do it for your own pets in the home. .  During the entire showing, you should be sure to speak up on areas of the home that would be perfect for your buyer's pets.
