Get Compliant
National Association of Realtors Window to the Law: ADA and Website Accessibility Update
Ouch! There are now over 10,000 websites sued as of 2020 due to non-compliance… greedy lawyers are now going after small businesses so this number is expected to hit 100k by 2022.
As a professional Real Estate Agent or Broker, you are at the forefront of scrutiny for all types of legal and compliance issues and your website and social presences are prime targets for inspection.
If your website is not compliant you’re wide open for a major lawsuit and it costs businesses on average $50,000 to settle them.
It is advisable to check with your IT service provider or technical department who maintains your website to make sure you are compliant. We can help if you do not have an expert in your company and feel uncomfortable dealing with such an important issue without the knowledge of experienced experts.
We can help you become compliant with the international Web Accessibility Guidelines + the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and make sure your website is accessible and compliant as much as possible!
NAR Associate Counsel Katie Garrity discusses updates on website accessibility under the ADA. Learn what steps you should take to protect your business from an ADA website accessibility lawsuit.
