In Part 2 of our conversation with Lamont McLeod, The Wheeltor, we dive deeper into how he’s transforming the real estate industry for the disability community. As a Black real estate broker and wheelchair user, Lamont is a disruptor in an industry that has long overlooked accessibility. He shares how embracing his identity not only strengthened his brand but also challenged outdated industry norms.
Angela and Lamont discuss the challenges of marketing accessible homes, the hesitation among realtors to engage with disabled buyers due to redlining fears, and the glaring gaps in DEIA efforts when it comes to disability-inclusive real estate. Lamont explains why major platforms like Zillow and Redfin fail disabled home buyers, and why social media has become his most powerful tool for connecting people with accessible homes. They also explore how universal design could reshape housing development and why the real estate industry must do more to include disabled professionals.
This episode highlights why accessibility is a racial and economic justice issue. By elevating the conversation around disability and homeownership, Lamont is not only changing the market—he’s creating opportunities for future Black realtors, developers, and homeowners with disabilities.
🎧 Listen now to hear how The Wheeltor is making real estate more inclusive and why DEIA leaders should take note.
