aging in place: INVESTORS Take Notice! - 10/24/11 09:34 AM
To all the real estate investors out there in the Triangle area, I have an important message for you. If you make your rentals accessible they will come!
Recently I was featured in a front page article in my local paper because of my unique niche in real estate.
http://www.carynews.com/2011/09/27/44225/no-barriers-to-a-dream-home.html
Since the article appeared I have had lots of folks contact me. In the last 2 days I have had 3 different people contact me around their accessible housing needs. Unfortunately 2 of them were looking for an accessible rental and that is harder to find than an accessible home … (3 comments)

aging in place: Great 50+ Community : Village of Aversboro - 10/08/11 02:42 PM
I want to highlight a new subdivision which is for seniors who are proactive planners. They plan that this will be their last home. They want to "age in place". This community is the Village of Aversboro in Garner NC. I think this is a lovely community and I think you will too. It is a young community and still being built out.
It has a great location: walking distance from grocery, shops, pharmacy, and restaurants. Yes location is key! But there are many more highlights to this community.
Some of the features:

aging in place: Glowing letter of recommendation - 09/21/11 12:08 PM
When someone writes you a glowing letter of reccomendation it just makes your day. I was blown away by the glowing accolades and praise in this letter. I could not have paid Jerry to do better PR for me. What made it all the more special is that it came from someone in my niche: a senior couple who needed a wheel chair accessible home.
The money that I make selling real estate is nice but it is really this that I work for.

I had the pleasure to work in the 50+ Pavilion at the Ideal Home show of Raleigh last weekend. I shared the SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist) booth with 3 other Realtors and our goal was to share information with the public about the importance of working with a Realtor who specializes in working with seniors and the 50+ market.
It's All about relationships!
I have worked the Ideal home show in the past when I was invited by one of my favorite custom builders Lewis Sadler. His work is focused on aging in place and a home that … (4 comments)

aging in place: Anniversary of the ADA & my own "Proclamation" - 07/26/10 02:31 PM
Today is the 20 yr anniversary of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). People all over the country today are celebrating one of the pivotal moments of the Civil/Disability Rights Movement. 20 years ago the Americans With Disabilities Act became law, opening many doors for the nation's largest minority group. I posted this on my Facebook account and an interpreter friend of mine who's sister uses a wheel chair, commented that not many people even know what the law is and that it impacts the LARGEST minority in our country. This maybe true but I want to stay focused on the … (2 comments)

aging in place: Servicng the deaf community and specializing your niche - 09/01/09 07:34 AM
Hi All,
If you have worked with the deaf community or are fluent in ASL I'd love to network with you. My specialty is helping people with disabilities (all disabilities) find the right home or sell their existing one. Admittedly this is a unique niche in real estate. But my website is working and I have people contact me from outher parts of the country. It also is not as narrow as you might think because it also can include Boomers because they are often looking for a place where they can "age in place".
If you have had some experience … (5 comments)

aging in place: How walkable is your home and subdivision? - 06/28/09 12:20 PM
I just found a great resource for Realtors around the walkability of a home. For people who may have mobility challenges this is a GREAT resource. It allows them to see a score or the walkability and accessibility of a neighborhood. For the elderly who may not want to drive or can't this is a GREAT resource. For Realtors it is great because it shows how close the home is to key places in the community such as parks, the library,schools, grocery stores, ect. It is also a great tool for those who are more "green" minded. Be more healthy and … (2 comments)
