Why Accessibility Matters for Realtor.com
Home buying is one of life's biggest decisions. Property search filters, mortgage calculators, map-based browsing, and virtual tour interfaces must be accessible so people with disabilities can independently search for and purchase homes.
What this means
A score in the D range suggests there are likely barriers for keyboard and screen reader users. While this is not legal advice, it indicates potential ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA compliance gaps that could affect usability and increase lawsuit exposure.
Business impact
Missed conversions from users who rely on assistive technology, plus higher support costs from inaccessible flows.
Compliance impact
ADA lawsuits often cite WCAG failures like contrast, labels, and keyboard access. Addressing the top issues closes the biggest gaps.
