There are many Pet Web sites and many Real Estate Web sites, but no Web site dedicated to the importance of pets in the Real Estate world. Pet Protect®, a Naples based Company caring for pets and their people since 1997, has recently combined the two with an innovative new Web site, www.petrealtynetwork.com.

Over 69.1 million homes in the United States - and even more around the world - have at least one pet and pet spending in the United States alone reached approximately $38.4 billion in 2006. It is no surprise that pet owners consider pets a very important part of the family, and therefore an important factor in their Real Estate buying or selling decisions. With Real Estate professionals across the country facing a challenging market, The Pet Realty Network™ offers Real Estate Professionals across the United States the opportunity to market to this underserved niche market.

Finding a Pet Friendly Real Estate Professional is critical to Pet Friendly people considering any type of real estate transaction. A horse owner, for example, looking for a suitable property in an unfamiliar part of the Country needs to work with a Real Estate Professional that understands their needs. Is the land high and dry? Is the barn or stable up to standards in hurricane-prone regions? Are there local equine veterinarians and supply stores? The same goes for dog and cat owners, whether looking for condominiums, co-ops, single family homes, or farms and ranches. Are there any breeds or size restrictions in a particular community? Does an elderly pet have special requirements such as a first floor entry or need easily accessible outside facilities? This is just the beginning of the endless list of Pet Friendly real estate needs that both pet owners and Real Estate Professionals take into consideration.

The Pet Realty™ network is different from other types of Real Estate or Pet Web sites. Unlike many other Real Estate Web sites, it is not a lead generator which can inhibit Visitors from searching the database because they do not want a Web site to collect their personal information. Visitors can simply browse The Pet Realty Network™ database of Pet Friendly Properties and Agents and choose to contact the Real Estate Agent that best suits their needs. In addition, The Pet Realty Network™ is not a pay-per-lead service or a Broker.

The Pet Realty Network™ offers more than just a list of homes. From Pet and Real Estate News and Views, to the Pet Friendly Resource Directory, to The Pet Realty Network™ Store, and 'The Showcase' highlighting a Pet Friendly region of the United States each month, Visitors return to The Pet Realty Network™ every day to explore Pet Friendly properties and communities, to shop for Pet Friendly gifts, to meet compatible Pet Friendly Real Estate Professionals, to keep informed on the latest Real Estate and pet happenings and to post photos of their pets.
