Can I bring my dog to a showing?
Can I bring my dog to a showing? I'm spending hours seeing houses, and can't be away from my dog for that long. It's so hard to find a home and I want to start taking my dog with me. Maybe my dog will help lead me to a good home and I'd like to start taking him with me to the houses.

Hello, I hope you found a house by now but if you haven't I would also suggest you not bringing your dog to showings. It sounds like you may have to screen your homes before going out. I usually only show 5 houses everytime I go out with a client with an average of 6 to 7 outings before we find the right house. ( Some buyers take longer) A lot of seller's have kids that are allergic to dogs and we should respect their space. I hope this helps.

You may ask your agent to request permission from the owner in this situation. You may ask if you can walk the exterior of the property with your dog or pet. Some condo associations and HOAs have rules about pets on the property, so it is best to find out in advance whether this would be possible.

That is a tricky question. You can ask, but be prepared that the answer may be no. People either love or dislike animals.

Hi Olivia. I get what your saying, my fur baby (english bulldog) loves going for rides. That being said, you really cannot bring your pet with you inside other peoples homes. They may have allergies, fears, etc. Not to mention that your dog might accidentally damage something. My suggestion would be to bring your dog for the ride around while you are looking, in your own car.
