As the time is passing by I must say more people are becoming pet friendly than before. Gone are those days when a high percentage of the people thought that cat and eagle are the symbol of terror. Not more people now think in this way. And you will find it interesting to note that many of the peoples are now interested in keeping a cat as a pet in their house. However even if you still think of cat to be an inferior then you will have to agree that the dogs were and are still considered as a best domestic animal and is very highly rated as far as the pets are concerned.
However, if you do have a pet and you want to buy a pet friendly accommodation then you will definitely have to keep in mind that you will have to consider the pet friendly features while buying your house. But you will have one question in your mind that what are the pet friendly features?
I would like to list some features of the house which you will have to consider while buying the pet friendly house. They are as follows:
1.Your house should have wooden floors
I must say that if you want to buy a house which is pet friendly then you will have to make sure that you are buying a house whose floors are wooden. You can easily understand why wooden floors are preferred. The simple reason is that the wooden floors are easy to clean. And this is really very important if you have a pet in your house since pets are really very prone to make your house dirty. And you will be most busy in cleaning the floor if you have pets. You will really praise the wooden floor at that point.
2.You should have fenced area around
What is really mean to say is that you will definitely require proper fencing around your house if you have some outdoor pets. I must really say that you will definitely not want them to roam here and there and you must confine them to one region. This can only be done if you have proper fencing. If you will not have proper fencing then you might loose them since they will definitely run here and there. And I must say that no body will like this to happen.
3.You should have bath for washing pets
I must say that you should definitely have the bath for washing pets because if you will not have the proper arrangement for bath for pets then they will dirty different parts of your house.
4.Keep the pets away from the neighbors
This is really very important because if you will not make sure then the neighbors will complain to you.
Keep this in mind and you will have a pet friendly house. And I do feel that there is no point of hating pets on the account of cleanliness since you can control them.

How to Rent Vacation Properties by Owner
Vacation properties are really one of the most important medium of earning money in the tourist friendly regions like Miami, Sarasota, Florissant, San Diego, and phoenix etc. if you have ever been to places like this even once then you will definitely catch the point which I want to say. I really mean it when I say that owners love vacation properties in the regions which are great for tourism. I would definitely not take the name Denver.
However you cannot really say that Denver is a bad place. The places like Colorado Springs and the Florissant are near it. I just wanted to say that no owner will like to have vacation properties in the regions which are not tourist friendly and Denver is far behind Miami.
However you will definitely like to know some basic points which you as an owner will have to keep in mind. I would therefore like to give you some facts. They are as follows:
1.Owners really do not like to sell the property if they find it to suit to rental income. I do feel that you will understand what is the difference between residential properties, commercial properties and rental properties? I would definitely say that the rental properties can be both the residential properties as well as the commercial properties.
As a tenant you will have to understand that you cannot go for residential properties in New York. You will definitely have to look for the commercial property. And as an owner too you will have to make sure that you buy the right property at right place. If you fail to do this, you will be looser.
2.If you are a tenant then you will have to understand how the rental websites works. You will definitely find rental websites more useful if you will learn how to use it. It will make the surfing much easier. Once you know how they work you can directly find the house of your choice.
3.As a tenant you will have to make sure that you have some one backing your cause. You will definitely have to put forward a guarantor who will make sure that you are a good person and then only the owner will let you take charge of his properties. That is why for most of the rental cases you require real estate agents. The owner also prefers the real estate agent because they take the guaranty that your property is safe. If he finds any thing wrong with the tenant then he immediately take the step and cancels the deal.
These are few points which you will have to keep in mind if you want either to give or take some property on re

What is the Role of Real Estate Agent in Vacation and Second Home Markets?
The real estate agent is the most important member in the real estate team. You will definitely find the above statement to be true on most of the cases. You will definitely find no body busier during a real estate deal than the real estate agent. I must say that they are even busier than the buyer or the sellers.
In 2007 there was more than 60% of the house sold were the second home. The mortgage rate has decreased four fold and I must say that the growing rate of the home has really increased the rate at which the second house are bought or sold. The higher percentage of the houses sold were the second house.
The national association of realtors conducted a survey and found that 60% of the houses sold were carried away by the real estate agents as far as the deal was concerned.
The rate of selling of the second house by the real estate agent was 64% in the year 2005 which was found to be much higher than the 50% of the year 2003.
I would like to give some more statistic result for this. Around 70% of the houses sold were second house and 74 % of the sale was carried by the real estate agent. The percentage of investment home buyers who bought the house directly from the builders was as low as 14 %. However it marked to more than 70% for the real estate agent.
You must understand that the second house has really become very popular because of many reasons. You will definitely find yourself much profitable in buying the real estate property like second home because of the low cost and easily available low mortgage loan rate.
Most of us really find it very great to buy the second house because it is profitable. I cannot say that the lenders favor to grant loan for second house than the brand new house. However no one can either say that they favor brand new houses. They really do not favor anything. They just calculate that which property will give them more profit. And the calculation really says that the second houses are much more profitable. There are reasons behind it. I would like to share some reasons with you.
The most important reasons are that through foreclosure and short sale you can really buy the property for a very less amount. You cannot do this for the new house. Hence the price of second house is quiet low. But the process of buying a second house is not so easy. You will definitely find it to be really difficult without the real estate agent.

It might be that you like one builder. But I should always advise you to take more and more interview. This will really help you while bargaining. It is not so that the entire builder will ask you the correct amount. You will come to know about the actual cost only when you have taken the interview of at least fifteen to twenty interviews. Hence I will really recommend you to take more and more interviews.
4.Look out for who is more economical:
You will really come across many names. Most of them will be good. But you should realize whether who is able to prepare better house at lowest cost. This is really very important for you to know because by this way you will be able to save thousands of dollars.

2.Take the help of family and friends:
You should always take the help of family and friends. They must have a long list of builders and they would also know whether how was their performance in the past. They must know better than you. Hence you should really take advantage of their knowledge.
3.Interview more builders:
It might be that you like one builder. But I should always advise you to take more and more interview. This will really help you while bargaining. It is not so that the entire builder will ask you the correct amount. You will come to know about the actual cost only when you have taken the interview of at least fifteen to twenty interviews. Hence I will really recommend you to take more and more interviews.
4.Look out for who is more economical:
You will really come across many names. Most of them will be good. But you should realize whether who is able to prepare better house at lowest cost. This is really very important for you to know because by this way you will be able to save thousands of dollars.
I must say that building a house can be done by you alone. But the construction builders are the professionals and you should realize this fact. Hence make sure that you call them and let them do the job.

How women drive Real Estate Purchases
Women really are dominating the proceedings as far as any of the field is concerned. You should not be surprised if you find out that you see the woman real estate agent. You will definitely be ready for this. a recent survey suggest that more than 94 % of the home furnishing decisions are taken by the women and also 90 % of the travel decisions are being taken by the women of the house.
It was long ago when you would have found the women taking such decisions inside the home. If you will talk about the furnishing then you will end up finding a bunch of interior designers who are women. The search do not ends here. You can now find many women real estate agents as well. But the matter here is not their dominance in the work arena. We are here to talk about how they affect the purchasing of the real estate.
A recent survey suggests that you will find most of the real estate decisions being taken by the women. According to the recent survey conducted by the wealth holders you will find more than 39% of them to be women. This means that 2.9 million women possess the wealth worth $4.2 trillion. Another survey of the survey suggest that by the year 2050, 42% of these women will be either divorced or widow. The IRS further suggests that more wealth will be accumulated among the women in the future.
The national association of realtors came up with the other astonishing result. They have found that in 2006 22 % of the home purchase was undertaken by the single woman. This is really an astonishing result. There age was found to be between 24 years and 34 years. The women purchased around 1.76 million houses which means one in every five homes. The women are showing a great interest in higher studies and become financially independent and they are also trying to build their houses in advance.
The real estate agents now find many women to be their top client. I would not like to count number of successful women here. I would just like to say that their number is very high. You can either taken Hillary Clinton, Britney spears or Condoleezza rice or even Madonna. You will find only one thing and that is they are really dominating the field of which they are a part of. I must say that they are proving that they are not far behind the men in the race.
I must say that women are really becoming the main pillar of most of the houses. They are really showing a great talent which they always had and are able to cash it out for a better life.
