As Sanibel realtors, we know that condominium living is common on Sanibel, Captiva, and the surrounding Southwest Florida area. Condominium associations offer residents many benefits and amenities: lush landscaping, private parking, pools, clubhouses, tennis courts, and more. There are also natural restrictions for the consideration of fellow residents, such as pet limitations. Fortunately, there has been improved awareness of exceptions for service animals.
Service animals are important for the health and wellness for countless individuals. Beyond guide dogs for owners with visual impairments, service animals have become increasingly common for individuals with a variety of symptoms, including mental illnesses.
The Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act “require that people with disabilities be permitted to use service animals in a variety of settings,” including housing. The real estate industry has become more aware of accommodating all residents who benefit from service animals.
At John R Wood Island Real Estate, we are committed to advocating on behalf of the individuals we work with. We want to make sure buyers find the perfect home or condo to meet your needs, and buyers get the right seller and price for their property. We strive to ensure the real estate transaction process is smooth, even enjoyable. And last, we believe it is our duty to see that your accommodations are comfortable, safe, and ideal for your health and wellness.
