"Ramping Up For Real Estate Sales"

By
Education & Training with Steve Hoffacker LLC

As a real estate sales agent or a new home salesperson, do you know how to handle a request for having a ramp installed by one of your buyers or clients?

Is it considered a permanent structure by your local jurisdiction or a temporary one? Have you checked? Does it require any special materials or considerations?

Does it need to comply with ADA guideline? Is an inspection required?

Does the HOA have a say in the matter?

Something seemingly simple like putting in a ramp may not be all that easy and could cost you a sale. Find out now so you'll be ready when the question arises.
