By choosing to register and create an account on the site, User agrees to provide accurate registration information. As a result of registration, and upon such action, User agrees to allow the Company the right to use third-party data consisting of publicly available information from phone books, social networks, marketing surveys, real estate listings, and other public sources to confirm or obtain the name and contact information (telephone and e-mail address) of registered users.

Upon registering and providing contact information to gain full access to the site, User gives express written consent to be contacted by phone, e-mail, text messages, and social media channels of communication, such as messaging. User also gives express written consent, upon registering, to be contacted by the Company, or its agents, utilizing Auto-dialing or "predictive" dialing (i.e., non-manual dialing or using a software program or other means to continuously dial or place outbound calls). User agrees and consents that the Company, or its agents, may contact User, even if he or she has previously registered with a Federal or State "Do Not Call" registry. User may withdraw consent to receive phone calls at any time by asking not to be called by the Company by phone or sending an e-mail to [email protected]. User may unsubscribe from e-mails sent by the Company at any time by clicking "Unsubscribe" at the bottom of any received e-mail or accessing User’s account settings while logged into the Site and changing Subscription Settings. Withdrawing consent to receive phone calls or unsubscribing from e-mails will result in calls or e-mails respectively ceasing after a brief processing period. After unsubscribing or opting-out of e-mails or calls, User may re-enable and opt-in to communications once again. If User does so, User again gives express written consent to be contacted via the services that have been enabled, including phone, e-mail or, text message.

Information the Company Gathers:
As stated, the Company collects User’s full name, e-mail address, and phone number through the registration form. User information provided upon registration is used to contact User to assist with successful navigation of website features and assist in future real estate transactions.

The Company also collects additional personally-identifying information about User’s computer and the viewing history on the website. This data includes User’s IP-address, geographical location, operating system, browser type, referral source, length of visit, date and time of visit, and page views. The Company uses this information to improve the website's usability, optimize the site based on the needs of the overall user base, and evaluate the success of specific marketing and advertising campaigns and search engine optimization strategies.

The Company gathers publicly available information from third parties, including phone books, social networks, marketing surveys, real estate listings, and other public sources, to confirm or obtain the name and contact information (telephone and e-mail address) of registered users.

The Company website does not support or take any actions related to any “Do Not Track” signals or browser settings. The Company website also does not support or take any actions related to mechanisms that allow the consumer to exercise choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about a consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.

Information the Company Shares with Third Parties:
The Company shares User’s personal information with third parties for legitimate and ethical business purposes as outlined herein.

The Company shares registration information and data regarding User’s site use, including, but not limited to, User’s IP-address, geographical location, operating system, browser type, referral source, length of visit, date and time of visit, and page views, and provides log files to third parties for data analysis, database management, site maintenance, and site development. The same information is also shared with third parties across various marketing platforms, including social media advertising platforms and search engine advertising platforms. The same information is shared with third party independent contractor real estate agents and assistants affiliated with the Company who provide real estate information and services to website users. Where User has requested or agreed, verbally or in writing, for the Company or its agents to provide User registration information to mortgage and title companies to potentially assist User with those services, the Company or its agents may do so; by registering with the website User has expressly agreed to allow registration information to be shared in this manner.

In the real estate industry, it is quite common for real estate agents to provide a client with a referral to real estate agents located in other areas to assist the client in a location outside the agent’s service area. In the process of completing a referral, the Company or its agents would share User registration information to allow another real estate agent to contact User to potentially provide real estate agent services. User expressly agrees that, upon registering with the website, this registration information may be provided to other real estate agents as necessary to complete a referral that User has requested or agreed to, whether verbally or in writing. It is typical for the referring real estate agent to be paid some fee for their role in facilitating the transaction and connecting the client with a reputable real estate agent in another location.

Third parties who receive User information from the Company have provided assurances to the Company that the third party will maintain the confidentiality of and not sell User’s personal information.

The Company employs the services offered by Google Analytics. For more information on Google policies, see "How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps".

User may also request to review and make any changes to personal information held by the Company.

User may also require the Company to direct any service providers or third-parties with whom the Company has shared User’s personal information to also delete User’s personal information, where their policies allow. However, the request to delete personal information may be denied when necessary to complete an impending transaction in the near future.

User also has the right to request that the Company disclose the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, the categories of personal information shared with third parties, the business or commercial purpose for collecting and sharing personal information, and the categories of third parties with whom the Company shares personal information.
