Pet-Proofing Your Home - Beware of the Four C's!

If you're any sort of an animal lover, you'll agree that having pets enriches your life in more ways than you could possibly explain. After all, there's nothing quite like having a furry friend to snuggle, wrestle, run, and play with! 

 As an animal lover, you'll also agree that making sure your pets have a safe, enriching environment to grow and play is absolutely critical - and your top real estate agency at the Lake is here to help you do just that! If you're the proud owner of a furry, four-legged friend, make sure you follow these simple but important steps for pet proofing your home. 

Chemicals
Your inquisitive friends won't know that certain chemicals could prove extremely hazardous if ingested. Make sure you secure cleaning supplies and other chemicals well out of reach or install child-locks on the lower level cabinets to keep prying paws out.

 Cords
Most animals - especially cats - can't resist the enticing lure of an exposed or dangling cord. Make sure there aren't any electrical cords lying out in the open; your furry pal could be in for a "shocking" surprise if he gets a hold of them! Blind cords, especially those that form a loop, can also be dangerous. Make sure you tuck cords safely out of reach.

 Choking Hazards
In your pets' eyes, almost anything could be seen as an exciting toy. Keep floors and accessible countertops clear of small knicknacks, rubber bands, hair ties, game pieces, and other potential choking hazards. 

 Common Houseplants
Did you know that some varieties of common houseplants can actually be poisonous to your pet if ingested? Before bringing your furry friend home, do some research on the types of houseplants you have around your home. Either remove the toxic plants or make sure they are tucked safely out of reach.

 Keeping your four-legged friends safe is a crucial part of being a pet owner. By guarding against these common dangers, you will be able to make your home at the Lake of the Ozarks safe for your furry pals.

5 Home Buying Mistakes To Avoid

Image
Buying a home is a very exciting event, but it unfortunately comes with its fair share of pitfalls. Inexperienced home buyers may fall victim to common mistakes that can create added stress and frustration down the road. If you're getting ready to buy your first home at the Lake of the Ozarks , the team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate can help you avoid these pitfalls. Mistake #1: Not Getting Preapproved It's very common for first time home buyers to want to jump straight into touring different homes, before talking to a mortgage lender. When they do this, though, home buyers can get their hearts set on a certain property before they know for sure if they will be able to afford it. Do yourself (and your agent) a favor by getting preapproved for a home loan first so you will only visit homes you know you will be able to realistically consider buying. Mistake #2: Spending Beyond Your Means There can be a big difference between the size of loan you can qualify for and
