Office Accessibility Arrangements
Our office at Tchelet Mordechai 21, Pninat Hemed, Romema — accessible appointments can be arranged in advance by phone or email.
Content Not Yet Fully Accessible — and Alternative Ways to Get the Information
We are working on continuous improvement. The following elements may currently be only partially accessible:
- Property image descriptions sourced from an external management system (Webtiv) — alt text quality depends on the provider's data.
- The AI digital agent (chat) — Hebrew AI-generated responses have been manually reviewed; feedback is welcome.
Alternative ways to get the information:
If you encounter any difficulty getting information from the site — for any reason — we are available by phone at 02-9-400500 or by email at b9400500@gmail.com and will provide the information directly in whichever channel suits you (phone, email, WhatsApp, or in-person meeting at the office).
Accessibility Reviews
The website was last reviewed for accessibility in May 2026 as part of an internal review, including contrast checks, keyboard navigation, and manual mobile-device testing. We continue to improve accessibility on an ongoing basis, and this statement will be updated upon any material change to the website and at least once a year.
