This website shares one account system with our other real estate websites. An account created on one of them can be used to sign in on the others with the same email address and password, and your saved searches, favorites and alert preferences are shared between them. You sign in separately on each website. When you register, submit a form or complete a chat, we record which website the request came from.
3. Email Communications
If you provide your email address, we may use it to provide communications related to your requests, account, saved searches, property inquiries, tours, favorites, real estate services, and other communications permitted by law.
Where required, marketing emails will provide a method to unsubscribe. You may unsubscribe from marketing email by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in an email.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications may not prevent us from sending non-marketing communications necessary to respond to a request you initiated, administer your account, provide a requested service, or deliver other transactional or relationship communications permitted by law.
4. Text Messages
We will send marketing or promotional text messages only when we have the consent required by applicable law.
If you separately consent to receive text messages, you authorize us to send text messages to the mobile number you provide concerning real estate inquiries, requested property information, saved searches, property updates, tours, and related real estate services, as described in the consent presented when you provide your number.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
You may withdraw consent to text messages at any time by replying STOP, QUIT, END, REVOKE, OPT OUT, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE, or by using another reasonable opt-out method made available to you.
Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing any property, product, or service.
Carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages.
5. Saved Searches and Property Updates
If you create an account and save a search, we may use your saved criteria to identify properties matching your preferences.
If you separately elect to receive email or text alerts, we may notify you about new listings, price changes, market information, or other real estate information associated with your preferences, subject to your communication choices and applicable law.
Email property alerts are sent through our customer relationship management (CRM) system. When you turn on email alerts for a saved search, we share that search's criteria, your alert frequency and your contact details with our CRM provider, which sends the alerts and processes unsubscribe requests.
You may modify or delete saved searches and communication preferences through available website controls or by contacting us.
7. Real Estate Listing Information
Property information displayed on the website may be obtained from SmartMLS, participating brokers, public records, and other real estate data sources.
Your interaction with a property listing, including saving a property or submitting an inquiry, may be associated with your account so that we can provide the features you request.
MLS and listing information remains subject to applicable MLS rules, display restrictions, attribution requirements, and other legal and contractual requirements.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.
No website, database, network, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide requested services, maintain accounts and saved preferences, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain appropriate business records, and protect our systems and users.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.
