Here's what we're doing in Arizona

JenJen · 04-12-2010, 01:54 PM

After a huge lobbying effort, Arizona now has 21 fields in our MLS that identifies accessibility features. Now, a person living elsewhere in the country can contact a realtor here and say "find me a house with a roll-in shower (or grab bars, or lowered counters...)" Previously, a realtor would advise that if you were selling a modified home, to get the best dollar you should probably reset it to a "standard configuration."

It's a step in the right direction...

Arizona rocks. Everything is flat and new. The only thing that sucks is the summer and monsoon season.

I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit." *Dawna Markova Author of Open Mind.*
