Is your Saint John realtor actually accessible?

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.

### Your real estate journey should be easier, right?

I'll tell you what, it's a wild market right now, and the folks at the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) are talking about how we make it more accessible for everyone. It’s not just about finding a house anymore, right? Jeffrey Kerr, who was featured on Episode 72 of CREA’s REAL TIME podcast, brought up some really good points about clients facing mobility, visual, or auditory barriers. It’s something you don't always think about when you're caught up in bidding wars, but it’s critical.

Katie Hession on Episode 71 was also talking about how a REALTOR®'s online presence makes a big difference. Social media is huge now; it’s not just flyers in mailboxes anymore. These conversations point to a bigger shift in how we buy and sell homes here in Saint John, or anywhere in the Maritimes, where connections are everything. It means we need to see realtors not just as agents, but as community navigators.

This is more than just talk; it's about making sure everyone, no matter their situation, can navigate the biggest purchase of their life. Keep an eye on how these ideas start to shape local real estate practices, because accessibility should be a given, not an afterthought.
