Accessibility statement realestateexperts.net November 5, 2024 Compliance status We firmly believe that the Internet should be available and accessible to everyone, and we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability. To accomplish this, we aim to comply as strictly as possible with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Adhering to those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: people who are blind, people with motor disabilities, visually impaired, cognitively disabled, and more. This website uses various technologies intended to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We use an accessibility interface that allows people with specific disabilities to adjust the website's user interface (UI) and design it to their personal needs. Furthermore, the website uses an artificial intelligence-based application that runs in the background and constantly optimizes its accessibility level. This application corrects the HTML of the website, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen readers used by blind users and for keyboard functions used by people with motor disabilities. If you have encountered a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we would be happy to hear from you. You can contact the website operators using the following email (email protected) Navigation with screen reader and keyboard Our website implements the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attribute technique, along with several different behavioral changes, to ensure that blind users visiting screen readers can read, understand and enjoy the website's features. As soon as a user with a screen reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the screen reader profile in order to navigate and operate your site effectively. Below is how our website covers some of the most important screen reader requirements, along with console screenshots of code examples: Screen reader optimization: We run a background process that learns website components from top to bottom, ensuring continuous compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen readers with meaningful data using the ARIA attribute set. For example, we provide accurate form tags; actionable icon descriptions (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guide for form inputs; roles of elements such as buttons, menus, modal dialogs (popups) and others. Additionally, the background process scans all images on the website and provides an accurate and meaningful description based on image object recognition as an ALT (alternative text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts embedded in the image, using OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To activate screen reader settings at any time, users only need to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen reader users also receive automatic prompts to activate screen reader mode as soon as they enter the website. These settings are supported by all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the HTML of the website and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable via keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate drop-down menus with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, activate buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio elements and checkboxes using the arrow keys, and fill them with the space bar or the Enter key. Additionally, keyboard users will find quick navigation and content skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving keyboard focus to them as soon as they appear, and not allowing focus to drift away from it. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headers), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements. Disability profiles supported on our website Epilepsy Safe Mode: This profile allows people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures resulting from flickering or flashing animations and risky color combinations. Mode for the visually impaired: This mode adjusts the website for the comfort of users with visual disabilities such as impaired vision, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma and others. Cognitive disability mode: This mode provides different assistance options to help users with cognitive disabilities such as dyslexia, autism, CVA and others, focus on the essential elements of the website more easily. ADHD Friendly Mode: This mode helps users with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders read, navigate, and focus on the main elements of the website more easily, while significantly reducing distractions. Blindness mode: This mode configures the website to be compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it. Keyboard navigation profile (with engine problems): This profile allows people with motor disabilities to operate the website using the Tab, Shift+Tab keyboard and Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headers), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Last updated on October 31, 2024 An astonishing 33% of all homes purchased right now are new construction. If you're planning a new build or saving for a down payment on a new build in the coming months, here are our top tips when planning a timeless new build home. How long will you be in your new home? While it's impossible to predict the future, it's a good idea to sit down and think about how long you might be in your new construction. If you're planning a shorter stay, you may want to lean toward more traditional fixtures and finishes to help with resale value. However, if you are designing a home that you plan to live in for a long time, you can choose elements that speak directly to your style without worrying about it negatively affecting you down the road when it comes time to sell. Regardless of how long you stay in your home, it's wise to consider timeless items rather than modern ones so you can enjoy your home even when trends change. Understand the style of your home When choosing the design of kitchens, bathrooms and elements such as the fireplace, stairs, etc., take into account the style of your home. If you have a traditional house, you should have a traditional staircase. If you have a modern house, you must have a modern kitchen, a fireplace, etc. When you start mixing styles, large areas of your home can quickly look out of place. Inject personality into decor, furniture and paint colors, not fixtures. We get it: there are many options when planning a new construction. To avoid choosing items you may not like in the future, remember that you can inject personality into areas of your home that are much easier and cheaper to replace. Think about paint color, decor, furniture, wallpaper, lighting, and more in terms of how to make your home look unique. If you keep a neutral palette in your fixtures, you won't feel the need to renovate your home years later as your tastes and preferences change. Choose neutral floors Did you know that most people completely change their decor every 7 years or so? The flooring you choose for your entire home should allow you to seamlessly change the decor as you wish. Choosing floors that are trendy or have undertones that are not neutral enough to match different decors can quickly make you regret your choices. For hardwood floors, choose something with a medium brown tone or a pale neutral for a more timeless look. If you are going to place a rug in your home, try to select a neutral shade and stay away from pink or brown undertones, as they are very difficult to work with. For bathrooms, timeless tiles in white, marble or basket weave will always be in style. How to choose timeless wardrobes The kitchen is one of the most important elements to renovate. Homeowners who select classic items that have been in style for decades will be sure to enjoy their kitchen for years to come. When in doubt, you can never go wrong with white cabinets. While cabinet colors like green, black, and even beige are the biggest trend right now, before installing them in your kitchen, ask yourself if you'll still like them in 10 years. White cabinets also give you a clean, neutral backdrop for when you inevitably change your decor in 5 to 7 years. Countertop Options Countertops are expensive to replace, so you'll want to choose one that will fit your lifestyle and design aesthetic for years to come. Look for something that's neutral enough to serve as a backdrop for your changing tastes and decor over the years if you plan to stay in the house for a while. In terms of stone selection, granite is virtually indestructible, but many homeowners are moving away from the look of granite in favor of quartz, which is more neutral but a bit more brittle. If you like the versatility of granite, there are much less used granites on the market that will easily stand the test of time. Marble is still not widely used in kitchens as it is too prone to staining and etching. Marble is a beautiful and timeless choice in bathrooms. plumbing hardware Plumbing hardware and metal mixing in general is a very hot topic, and there are many opinions and options! In terms of plumbing hardware, which, by the way, everyone should coordinate, the most timeless options are chrome, polished nickel, and brass. You can introduce other metals with hardware for cabinets, lights and mirrors. Backsplash Options The most timeless backsplash option that will truly never go out of style is a subway tile. For a classic look that will stand the test of time, stay away from heavily patterned or busy tiles. If you think subway tiles are boring, remember that you can add personality through your pendants, stools, rugs, and curtains/blinds.

Obtaining electrical, plumbing and HVAC permits have special requirements. “Should I Get a Residential Building Permit in North Carolina?” Before you start calling contractors to do some home improvement projects, it’s smart to check if you need a permit for it. Often, your listing agent will ask if you have a permit for any additions or renovations you have made to the home. When it turns out that a permit is required but you did not obtain one, then you will have to obtain a permit before you can increase the value of your home. This will mean extra work for you and potentially delay the sale of your home. Let’s go over some of the things you need to know about permits in our area. When is a permit required? In North Carolina, you need a permit for different residential construction projects, including but not limited to: • Construction, installation and repair of single-family and duplex homes • Renovations of sheds and outbuildings. • Interior renovations • Terraces, patios and paving stones • Driveways, pools, hot tubs, spas, fences and retaining walls • Demolition projects “A permit is not required for a non-structural upgrade that costs less than $40,000.” In addition to those mentioned above, specific permits are also required for the following home renovation projects: 1. Electrical permits They are necessary if you are installing, changing or repairing your home’s electrical systems. However, if you hire a licensed electrician to replace a light fixture, switch or receptacle, a permit is not required. 2. Plumbing Permits They are necessary when installing, relocating or replacing plumbing systems. Minor repairs and replacements that do not affect the water supply, waste supply or ventilation systems do not require a permit. 3. Mechanical or HVAC permits They are necessary when installing, expanding, relocating or replacing your air conditioning system. You must also apply for a permit if you are converting an appliance to a different type of gas, for example, from propane to natural gas. When is a permit NOT required? You do not need a permit for a non-structural upgrade that costs less than $40,000. However, keep in mind that if your renovation project includes plumbing, electrical, or HVAC changes, you will still need specific permits, even if a general building permit is not required. Interestingly, a permit is not required for ADUs that are no taller than 12 feet. Here are other renovations that typically don’t require permits include: • Replacement of windows and doors • Exterior siding replacements • Replacing stair treads with pickets • Terraces on porches • Replacing a water heater (as long as the new unit uses the same power source and is installed by a licensed plumber) What I shared were just general requirements, but it’s still important to call your local permitting authority. to make sure you are following the rules.
