WHAT HOMEBUYERS WITH DISABILITIES NEED BEYOND THE FRONT DOOR

AS THE POPULATION AGES, BARRIER-FREE LIVING AND ACCESSIBLE COMMUNITIES ARE BECOMING KEY DRIVERS OF VALUE IN REAL ESTATE


As a REALTOR with nearly two decades of experience, Ryan Gebauer, leader of the Ryan Realty Group Brokerage in Coral Springs, sees a growing trend of people who are aging who might not consider themselves disabled, but who benefit greatly from barrier-free living within the four walls of their dwelling and within their community.

“Many people have been relocating to Florida since COVID and for the warmth. Proximity can be key. 

If you are coming from far away, you want your REALTOR to consider price point and home accessibility for sure – but you also need to know if you are near a facility with wheelchair basketball, beach accessibility, accessible sailing, a meeting place of support groups,”

said Gabauer, who estimates upwards of one third of the clients he represents for purchasing or leasing have a physical disability.
