Who Wants Newly Constructed Real Estate?

1863 Crystal Air Built in 2009

 

An initial consultation with your real estate agent should include many questions to determine what you’re looking for in Lake Tahoe real estate.

These questions will include, not limited to, the following:

* What style of house would you prefer? Contemporary? Tahoe cabin?
* Which neighborhood?
* Is a garage or carport important to you? (many properties in Lake Tahoe do not have them)
* How important is having a nice view, such as mounains or lake view, from the property?
* Would you prefer to be close to town and shopping or find a property with more seclusion perhaps in the
county?
* What kind of floor plan?
* Low maintenance yard or landscaped, one with lawn?
* Does the yard need to be fenced, possibly for pets?

The best question that any agent can ask about Lake Tahoe real estate may go something like this:

* Imagine we’re standing at the house and property that is the perfect Lake Tahoe real estate for you?
Describe to me, in as much detail as you can, what it looks like.

Who Else Wants to Find a Home for Their Dog?

“Man’s best friend”…that’s what most dog owners would refer to their beloved family pet.  Why?  Because you know you can count on your fido for unconditional love, and devotion no matter what, and that’s very special.

Dogs never question our shortcomings and are great companions.  They posses a loyalty that is unwavering.

These reasons, along with the fact that just as humans dogs are very social animals, may be why dogs have such a long history with the human race.  No one knows for sure when dogs were domesticated, however, many cultures started treating their dogs like family members about 14,000 years ago.  Some graves around the world have even been discovered with dogs in the same grave as humans.

There’s nothing like coming home from a rough day of work and being greeted immediately by our tail-wagging, face-licking, four legged friend…what a great way to relieve stress and put a smile on your we face!

It’s because of these reasons and the loyalty with the family pooch, that many people who are dog owners, when looking to buy a home in Lake Tahoe, specifically ask for property that will fit their dog’s special needs…fenced yard, privacy, and a specific setting like being near walking trails or a meadow.
