Boston’s Dog Friendly Real Estate Agent
Boston's Dog Friendly Real Estate Agent: Jay Stebbins
I am very pleased to announce I am working as a "Dog Friendly Real Estate Agent" right in the heart of Boston's Back Bay at the Warren Residential Group. I am very glad to be able to apply my knowledge of the different Boston neighborhoods in regards to living with a dog.
Specializing in pet friendly real estate allows me to focus on the pet policies of the various Boston properties as well as the other needs of dog owners often not considered when choosing a place to live. By writing for my Fido Loves blog I have gained a very unique knowledge about living in Boston with your dog. Whether you are renting or buying a home in Boston I can be a tremendous asset to those with dog, both as a Buyers Agent or a Leasing Agent. If you are relocating to Boston I can easily make that process much easier.
Fido Loves will continue to be a blog or guide about finding a dog friendly Boston for which I will continue to review, interview and photograph the best of Boston's dog world. If there is one thing I really enjoy, getting to personally know Boston's dog community. There will be a separate "Dog Friendly Real Estate" section added to this website in order to help dog owners find pet friendly apartments in Boston. I will do my best to keep the main blog focused on living with your dog in Boston.

P.S. But - PLEASE do keep writing FidoLoves.... a real gift to the dog community and businesses that cater to dog. -CJ
Don't worry, I really enjoy the process of writing and photographing dog friendly Boston
Wow what a great niche! Perfect for a dog-loving city like Boston. I'll be spreading the word to any of my dog-owning/home-buying friends. Let me know if any of the properties you work with need some dog prints in their lobbies...:)
Thank you Li,
I really enjoy being able to focus on dogs both in my career and personal life. The company of other dog owners while I am working makes the day so much more enjoyable. Which I am sure you see yourself while you are taking those amazing photographs of Boston dogs.
Jay, I have bookmarked the Warren Group page and may contact you when we look to purchase a condo in about a year or so! We have rented in two places with our golden retriever and have found it difficult to say the least. "Pet friendly" in Boston-housing speak, I have found, usually means only cats and maybe dogs under 25 pounds. Since you love pointers, you probably agree with me that a dog under 25 pounds is hardly a dog! Even a place that will allow my golden retriever will certainly only allow one, and I know that when I buy a condo, I would like to live there for a significant number of years, and I will most likely want to get another golden in that time.
The first place we lived (in Brookline), we used a realtor to find. He was nice and all, but he just saw "pet friendly" and brought us to those places, even though when we asked at most of them, the landlords said "under 40 or under 25 pounds." We simply requested to the landlord that we did not want to see the apartment if we could not bring our dog. In the end, he could only show us ONE place that was golden-retriever friendly. When we moved from that exceedingly expensive building, we just contacted landlords directly and skipped the real estate agent. Obviously, when purchasing a first condo, skipping the realtor is not really an option--and it would be great to have someone of your knowledge and experience to help us out!
Do you specialize only in certain areas of Boston, or do you cover all neighborhoods?
