ADA Compliance Debuts In NEPA

It’s another first for our firm: RealtyNetwork.net is now the first real estate website in the Greater Scranton area to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance standards.

Making Home Searches Easier for Everyone

Our company is making it even easier for people to find their next home. Those with visual, auditory, mobility, or cognitive impairments will benefit from our website’s new accessibility menu, designed to simplify the experience. You can find this menu on every page, located along the right edge of our site (see image below).

“While technology has the potential to create a more inclusive future, it has also created further barriers. With technology so embedded in our lives, digital accessibility isn’t something that would be nice to have, but is a right for everyone.”

Breaking Down Barriers in Real Estate

Many homebuyers experience barriers when they can’t access information in real-time. These barriers are exactly what Realty Network Group is working to eliminate for every person who visits our site. The ADA accessibility menu isn’t just for users with impairments either. Anyone can use it to improve their experience on our platform.

“This new tool on our website affirms we’re committed to easing concerns for buyers and sellers who are actively pursuing real estate,” says Greg Solfanelli, Director of Marketing & Consumer Experience at Realty Network Group. “It’s another reason why I believe our clients continue to trust us. We understand how important compliance is in our business—not only for our professionals but also for our clients and their assets.”

A Continued Commitment to Innovation

Realty Network Group’s website continues to set the standard in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Adding ADA compliance is just another step in the right direction.

“The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990. It was created to prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities and ensure accessibility for all individuals, regardless of their physical limitations. Now, thirty years later, our world has changed tremendously—especially in regard to technology. Today, ADA compliance extends far beyond a simple handrail or parking space. It encompasses all public-facing entities, including most websites.”
