What truly… Read More set Lex apart was how accurate and thoughtful all of her recommendations were. From pricing to timing to preparing the condo for listing, every suggestion she made was spot-on.

Her professionalism, clear communication, and knowledge of the market made all the difference. If you're looking for someone you can completely trust to guide you through the selling process with confidence and care, Lex is the one. Thank you so much, Lex!" Read Less
"Katie and Sparky are amazing!
They worked harder for us than any other realtor we’ve used in the past—and they’re just awesome people. They were patient, we never felt pressured or rushed and they kept us connected to what’s important to us. They guided us as we talked thro… Read Moreugh move-in ready vs. renovating, whether this was just for us or for future rental potential – we were so grateful to be able to bounce all our ideas around with them.
We had a 21-day close, so everything moved fast. They stayed on top of every step. They were in constant contact with our mortgage broker, followed up with the listing agent to get our questions answered quickly, and made sure we didn’t release contingencies until we felt 100% confident.
Katie went above and beyond—reading through all the HOA documents, taking detailed notes, and asking questions we wouldn’t have known to ask as first-time HOA buyers. California insurance has gotten tricky with wildfire risk, and she pushed the HOA for the docs we needed to keep our close on track.
Sparky was also working behind the scenes the whole time. If one wasn’t available, the other stepped in seamlessly. They know the area incredibly well and have a great network—whether you need a contractor for a remodel, are buying as an investor, or are searching for your dream home.
When we’re ready to buy again, there’s no question—we’ve found our people." Read Less

"Pond Team at Compass, Encinitas, CA surely did the job for us. Katie Pond (our agent) was an extreme pleasure to work with. Having to sell my mother's house for the changing seasons of her life was a very difficult and emotional task to undertake. I had no idea where to star… Read Moret, so I looked up the top realtors in North County San Diego area and came across the Pond Team. From my first contact with Katie Pond, she was very patient and understanding of my family's objectives. She took the time to listen to my concerns, heard me out when fighting back my emotions and has now proved her commitment and care for MY needs. The pace of getting our house from the first call to market took from May to August and many calls to Katie. She really helped me through every step of the process, even when there was no certainty that we would be having her list my mom's home. Katie is very kind and certainly knows her business. Once listed, we needed work to be done to prepare the home for sale. I live in another State and would have had a very hard time coordinating all the little pieces to prepare the house for market. Katie and her team of contractors were able to complete the work we needed. Katie stayed on top of the contractors to ensure the quality of their work and made numerous trips to oversee the work and security of my mom's home. Katie was careful not to oversell the house with a high listing price as other agents typically do and kept her finger on the pulse of the market and provided updates to us by email and phone calls. Katie Pond found a buyer for us and when all the conditions and offers were agreed upon she walked me through everything. I really appreciated her professionalism, patience, friendliness and her time, of which she invested a bunch. The house has sold and frankly, I'm gonna miss her helpful nature and friendship that developed over the course of the sale. In the time it took to sell the house, I only met her in person over one week when I traveled to California to begin emptying out the house of my mother's belongings. Katie went out of her way to do all she could to help us. I am proud to say, "I got the Pond team, starring Katie Pond" to sell my mom's house for us. I couldn't have asked for anything else or anyone better. I highly recommend Katie Pond and the Pond team if you're searching for a competent, friendly and communicative team to sell your house. Thanks, Katie! It was an extreme pleasure to work with you and I will direct anyone and everyone in your service area for their real estate needs. Blessings to you, your team and family. My mom is now in a good place thanks to your help. Call Katie!" Read Less

Accessibility Statement

May 25, 2026
Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected]
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or 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 the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements 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 (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected]
