Accessibility scanning for real estate and listing websites
Your listings page is a wall of photos, maps, and filters — exactly the kind of content that's easy to build in a way screen reader and keyboard users simply can't use.
Common issues we find on real estate and property listing websites
Listing photos with no description
A gallery of 20 property photos with no alt text tells a screen reader user nothing about the home — not the kitchen, not the yard, not the thing that would make them want to schedule a showing.
Map-based search that's mouse-only
Interactive map search widgets are frequently built as pure drag-and-click interfaces with no keyboard equivalent, which quietly locks out anyone who can't use a mouse.
Filter and sort controls with no accessible names
Price range sliders and bedroom/bathroom filters built as custom-styled controls often lose their accessible labels in the process, leaving screen reader users unable to narrow results at all.
Why this matters for you specifically
Fair housing obligations already require real estate marketing to be non-discriminatory, and an inaccessible listings site functionally excludes disabled buyers and renters from your inventory before they even inquire.
