Coldwell Banker Hero of the Year, Sabrina Cohen, Shares her Story

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and Coldwell Banker is proud to celebrate the contributions of one of its affiliated agents with disabilities.

ATHENA SNOW | OCT 9, 2018

Coldwell Banker agent Sabrina Cohen highlights an eye-opening fact: There are 57 million Americans living with disabilities – approximately 20 percent of the U.S. population. It underlines why the creation of more inclusive environments in our workplaces, communities and homes are a benefit to everyone. “We are all more successful when we can combine our unique strengths every day,” said Cohen.

Amidst her efforts, Cohen was routinely contacted by individuals who wanted to move to Miami Beach to enjoy its beauty but needed advice on finding accessible homes. Realizing she was in a unique position to help, Cohen earned her real estate license and affiliated with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. Today, Cohen said that more than 50 percent of her clients are disabled and generally require accessible homes. Finding those homes can sometimes be a challenge for buyers, as real estate listings don’t always call out accessible features, said Cohen.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month

Her work with individuals and families through the Foundation saw her fielding calls from those looking for a home that was accessible. “I saw a gap that no one was filling, so I got my real estate license in 2016,” she says.
She says that many real estate sales associates think they aren’t equipped to help those with disabilities, but, “My advice is that you have to ask questions to get to know them and their needs. Don’t make assumptions. They’ll tell you what you need to know to put you on the right path.”

"Sabrina Cohen is knowledgeable, friendly and motivated to get the right person to buy or rent your home quickly and efficiently. It took less than a week for her to find a suitable renter for my place. I realized right then what a giant mistake I had made not going to her sooner. Many people promise the world, but Sabrina delivers!! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent real estate. I couldn't have asked for a better Agent who was courteous, professional and most importantly GOT THE JOB DONE!! Thank you Sabrina!!"
