Pet Friendly St. Petersburg!

Pet Friendly St. Petersburg! 

This has become one of our hottest topics when looking for a place to call home. The Mesimer Team absolutely understand that your family also includes those with 4 legs and a wet nose. It’s a requirement for those who are active with their pets to know that ANGELthey are accepted outside of the walls of their home, and may be a deciding factor when choosing a new home.

Pet-Friendly Communities:  For those of you looking to move into a place that has a condo association, there are normally restrictions as to how large and how many pets you can have, or if they even allow them at all.  When speaking to your realtor about what requirements you have for your next house, make sure you let him/her know that you do KODAhave animal/s and their approximate weight. It’s going to be more difficult to find a condominium that accepts larger animals than it would be to find a home in a similar price range. Most Homeowners Associations do not have restrictions on animals living in their community; they just ask that you don’t run a breeding facility or any business venture using your pets as income. Some communities even accommodate homeowners with a dog park, giving “Fido” a place to run around and release built up energy. Simply ask your realtor which communities have this feature.  If it’s a requirement, please make sure you have communicated this.
