ATLANTA: Working in real estate can be a challenge, but when you’re working with multigenerational buyers–a household of more than two generations–things can get even more complicated as you work to meet the diverse needs of parents, grandparents and children.
More and more multigenerational households are emerging, so knowing how to work with this unique family dynamic is important.
2. Consider space and accessibility. Accessibility is crucial with multi-gen buyers. A home with an abundance of stairs–or even five stairs up to the front door–may be too much for grandpa’s knees, and this is important to consider from the get-go. Open floor plans and wide doorways are common multi-gen must-haves, as they make moving around a breeze for everyone under the roof. In-law suites with their own private entrance can also help bolster the older generation’s independence and accessibility.
