Accessibility in Real Estate
MEANINGFUL CLIENT CENTRED REPRESENTATION
REAL ESTATE REDEFINED
Accessibility means access – we want your home to be your sanctuary and that means making it comfortable, functional and safe for you. Thousands of Canadians experience unexpected life altering injuries or disabilities that impact their movement, or require additional supports. However there are few homes that are built to accommodate these needs and allow an individual to optimize their function. This may be a home with: a barrier-free entrance, widened doorways, an accessible washroom, certain lighting and technology features, or easy access to parking and nearby amenities. Searching for features of universal design in a home can be challenging. This may not be considered before the purchase of a home, and most of the time it can require difficult or expensive problem solving afterwards. Too often people have gotten used to living in homes that are good enough and may actually be limiting engagement in day-to-day life, and there are limited resources and professionals to help. Accessible homes raise the bar and Rachel is here to help find the best fit for you.
