PUTTING HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND
HEALTH DATA TO WORK FOR YOUR COMMUNITY
Barry Long, of Marketplace Sotheby’s International Realty, said he and Tom Minty, of John L. Scott Real Estate, soon realized that accessibility wasn’t a hindrance, it was the very definition of residential real estate sales – that “every different human being is looking for a house that fits their unique needs.”
Because Long has
outfitted his own home to his needs, he knew that a simple check box on an MLS
that a residence is “accessible” would be virtually worthless.
“So we rated accessibility in terms of approach, entrance, living space, kitchen bedroom, bathroom, utilities, elevator, ramps – we broke it down so a REALTOR who doesn’t know anything about accessibility can find out the accessible aspects for a property,” he said.
