Are there rental specialists in Chattanooga Tennessee?

My husband and I are moving to Chattanooga, TN. from Florida but can not make trips up to look at properties and we need a specialist to look for a good rental home for us. I am disabled and can not drive or work. My husband is a hard working man and can not take time off to drive up there, either. He is transferring his job to up there so he'll still be employed. I am in a wheelchair, so my ramp will only get me up a maximum of 3 steps. We have 3 small (under 15 pounds) dogs. I need to be able to get into a bathroom door entrance with my chair, and the house needs to have most of the living space on one floor. We need a house with a back yard, or a condo with a fenced in patio of some sort, so the dogs can go outside. We need at least a 2 bedroom one bath with a kitchen that has good counter space, more than 3 drawers, and good cabinet space. Oh, and I've seen pictures of a place there that was just painted awful colors. So one that doesn't have ugly carpet and isn't painted with really ugly colors. Our budget is $850 a month or lower.

Update:

There is no ADA to assist us in the transfer. that would be nice, though.

    I'm not in Chattanooga, but I would suggest calling the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce at 423-756-2121 and ask for a referral to a real estate agent who is familiar with the needs of the disabled.

    There is also the Mayor's Council on Disability which might give you leads on accessible properties or agents. The city's website is www.chattanooga.gov.

    Also, since your husband is being transferred, does his company have an ADA compliance person in Chattanooga who might help.
