Accessibility Policy

Last updated: April 6, 2023

We strive to make our website as accessible and usable as possible. We do this by following Section 508 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) produced by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C, the web’s governing body).

Section 508 is a legal requirement and WCAG is a set of checkpoints and guidelines that help ensure that websites are designed and written properly. For example:

Images have alternative text (so if you can’t see the image you can still read the text).
Color contrast between the foreground and background is sufficiently strong.
Text resizes according to user preference.
Headings are correctly used (they’re not just ordinary text made to look big and bold).
Links make sense by themselves (e.g. no links that just say “Click here” or “More…”). If they don’t make sense, a title attribute has been added to the link.
Tables are used for laying out tabular information and have proper headings and summaries.
For those familiar with Section 508 and WCAG, we aim for AA compliance across our site. We also look for opportunities to meet AAA compliance.

“Toby went over and above to help my family find our dream cabin in Tahoe! His professionalism shined through as he ensured we were informed and comfortable throughout our transaction.”

Brian P.

“Toby was fantastic to work with. This was my first time buying a home and he was incredibly knowledgeable. As we viewed many homes, he patiently walked me through the buying process and answered my long list of questions. I was looking in a competitive market and was prepared to go through several rounds of offers, but Toby’s excellent negotiation skills won me a great house with my first offer. I highly recommend working with him.”

Steven R.

“We were very impressed with Toby’s professionalism. He was in constant communication with us and did an excellent job of marketing our home-away-from-home. Toby’s kindness and understanding made it easier for us to turn the keys over to new owners who will love the house as much as we did!”

“Toby recently helped us find and purchase a second home recently in Truckee. He did a great job from start to finish. He knew the market, quickly found us the ideal property based on understanding our needs, then skillfully guided us through the offer, negotiation and escrow process.”
