AS THE POPULATION AGES, BARRIER-FREE LIVING AND ACCESSIBLE COMMUNITIES ARE BECOMING KEY DRIVERS OF VALUE IN REAL ESTATE
Simple tools to better serve the growing market for Aging in Place and People with Disabilities:
The bottom line is educating oneself DOES NOT require the
expertise of a physical or occupational therapist, nor does it require personal
or close family experience with a disability.
It simply requires being observant, asking a few
questions and noting the downside of potential barriers and the upside of
welcoming, accessible to all facilities.
REALTORS are already very good at this.
They are immersed in their communities.
They serve on municipal boards and committees with a
higher frequency than many professions.
They already know how to sell community assets such as
schools, parks, activities and transportation.
By simply raising awareness, digging deeper and taking a
few notes – they can assemble a toolbox to capture the growing market of a
graying America, many who benefit from barrier-free community design and
facilities.
