Fetching Features That Help Close the Deal
Pet-friendly features like dog parks, grooming stations and nearby vets are winning over Florida buyers. Agents can highlight communities for both people and pets.
MIAMI — Pet-friendly amenities are becoming a decisive factor for today's home buyers, with features such as leash-free parks, grooming services and nearby veterinary care shaping neighborhood appeal.
Outdoor lifestyles make dog parks and pet-friendly cafes especially valuable in Florida, offering both convenience and community for residents. Real estate professionals can highlight these amenities in showings and marketing materials, using visuals of local spaces or testimonials from current residents to help prospective buyers picture their pets in the neighborhood.
Partnering with local pet businesses can also provide added value and resources for real estate customers. Communities that embrace pet-friendly living foster long-term satisfaction through events like adoption fairs and charity walks, reinforcing a sense of belonging.
By highlighting these amenities, agents can connect more directly with buyers who want a community that embraces both people and pets.
