Wheelchair Accessible Homes for People with Physical Disabilities

Hi!  My name is Karen Barbour.  I am a Realtor who actively works finding accessible homes for people in a wheelchair with physical disabilities and their families in the Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, RTP areas of North Carolina.

Although private residences are not required to be accessible by the Americans with Disabilities Act, it is a necessity for wheelchair users.  Realtors have an obligation to work with all clients regardless of their physical abilities.  A Realtor such as myself who actively works finding accessible homes for people in a wheelchair with physical disabilities and their families can really make a difference in achieving a successful real estate transaction.   

I can assist those looking to buy or sell accessible homes in the Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, RTP areas of North Carolina:

• Bring together new buyers with sellers who have already made their existing homes accessible.  Focus the home search so that the buyers time is not wasted.  Contact me today so that we can begin your home search for an accessible home.
• Market existing accessible homes to clients requiring those features so that the seller gets the most value from the real estate transaction.
• Refer buyers to contractors with experience in accessible home modifications and new construction.
• Provide information about services in our community for people with disabilities.

I provide convenience by meeting at the client's residence and offer daytime, evening, and weekend appointments in the Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, RTP areas of North Carolina. 

Some keys accessible features in the homes that I market:

• Location that allows you to be involved in the community
• Accessible routes and entrances with proper grading
• Rest rooms which feature walk-in/roll-in showers, space for maneuvering a wheelchair
• Wide hallways and doorways to allow wheelchair maneuverability
• Fixtures and surfaces at convenient height for someone in a wheelchair

In finding an accessible home, sometimes the right choice is to remodel an existing home to make at least portions of it accessible to the person in a wheelchair.  This can involve the addition of wheelchair ramps, room add-ons, and/or remodeling of existing structures.  At other times the right choice is to build a new construction accessible home.  Either situation can be a daunting task and I represent you professionally during the home buying process and assist you with referrals, recommendations and answer questions leading to a successful move into an accessible home.

Thank you for choosing my website as your on line Realtor resource for finding accessible real estate in the Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, RTP areas of North Carolina.
