The Lineberger Team Accessibility Policy

Last Updated: October 1, 2026

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At The Lineberger Team, we believe every person — regardless of ability — deserves the same opportunity to find a place to call home. For over 40 years, families across Wilson County and the surrounding region have trusted us to guide them through one of life's most important decisions. That trust comes with a responsibility to make sure everyone can access the information, tools, and guidance available on our website.

We are committed to ensuring that our website, linebergerteam.com, and all content and services offered through it are accessible to individuals with disabilities. We actively work to comply with applicable federal and state accessibility and fair housing laws, and we continuously seek to improve the user experience for all visitors.

Legal Framework

This Accessibility Policy reflects our commitment to comply with the following applicable laws, regulations, and standards:

  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title III — which requires places of public accommodation, including commercial real estate service providers, to ensure equal access to goods and services regardless of disability.

  • Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq.) — which prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing on the basis of disability, among other protected classes. As a licensed real estate agency, we are committed to providing fully accessible digital communications in accordance with Fair Housing principles and HUD guidance on accessible digital outreach.

  • North Carolina Persons with Disabilities Protection Act (N.C.G.S. Chapter 168A) — which prohibits disability discrimination in public accommodations within the State of North Carolina.

  • North Carolina Fair Housing Act (N.C.G.S. Chapter 41A) — which provides additional state-level fair housing protections aligned with federal law.

  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. § 794d)  — referenced as a recognized benchmark standard for accessible digital content.

This Accessibility Policy is incorporated by reference into and governed alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

Accessibility Standard

We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines establish internationally recognized criteria for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including:

  • Visual impairments (blindness, low vision, color blindness)

  • Hearing impairments and deafness

  • Motor and physical disabilities

  • Cognitive, learning, and neurological disabilities

  • Speech disabilities

We are actively working toward conformance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the most current published version of these standards, as our website undergoes ongoing updates and improvements.

 Conformance Status

We consider our website to be partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partial conformance means that some content may not yet fully meet all guidelines, primarily due to the inclusion of third-party tools and content that are outside our direct control. We are committed to addressing all known barriers on a rolling basis.

Scope of This Policy

This Policy applies to all pages, content, tools, and services available at linebergerteam.com and any subdomain of this website (collectively, the "Website"), including but not limited to:

  • Property search and listing pages

  • Home valuation and mortgage calculator tools

  • Contact forms and inquiry submissions

  • Community and market report pages

  • Our Team and About pages

  • The Client Login portal

  • Blog posts, newsletters, and downloadable resources

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies and access methods:

  • Screen readers**, including JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), and TalkBack (Android)

  • Keyboard-only navigation (full site navigable without a mouse)

  • Browser zoom and text resizing (up to 200% without loss of content or function)

  • High contrast and forced color modes

  • Voice recognition software, including Dragon NaturallySpeaking

  • Screen magnification tools

Our website is designed to function with current versions of major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend using the most up-to-date version of your browser for the best experience.

 Known Limitations

While we strive to ensure full accessibility across our website, the following areas may present limitations that are actively being addressed:

  • Third-Party MLS and Property Search Tools — Some property search and listing display features are provided by third-party Multiple Listing Service (MLS) platforms. We are working with our technology providers to improve the accessibility of these tools, but some elements may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

  • Embedded Maps — Interactive property and neighborhood maps (such as those powered by Google Maps) may have limited accessibility. We work to provide alternative text descriptions and address information wherever possible.

  • Mortgage and Financial Calculators — Certain interactive financial tools embedded from third-party providers may have accessibility limitations. Please contact us directly if you need assistance using these tools.

  • Legacy PDF Documents — Older downloadable documents (such as past newsletter issues or resource guides) may not be fully screen-reader accessible. We are working to remediate these documents on an ongoing basis and will provide accessible alternatives upon request.

  • Video and Multimedia Content  — We are in the process of adding captions and transcripts to all video content. If captions are not yet available for specific content you need, please contact us.

  • User-Generated Content — Reviews, testimonials, and other user-submitted content may not fully conform to our accessibility standards. We moderate and update such content when accessibility issues are identified.

Technical Specifications

The accessibility of our website relies on the following technologies:

  • HTML5

  • CSS3

  • JavaScript (ECMAScript)

  • WAI-ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications)

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards identified in this Policy.

If you experience difficulty accessing any content or functionality on our website, we encourage you to contact us directly. Our team is glad to assist you by:
