Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide to us. When you fill out a contact form, request information about a property, schedule an appointment, or otherwise communicate with us, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message. If we offer user accounts in the future, we may also collect login credentials and preferences you save, such as favorite listings and saved searches.

Information collected automatically. When you use the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, and the listings or searches you interact with. This information is collected through cookies, server logs, and similar technologies.

Information from third parties. Property listing information displayed on the Site is provided through the Internet Data Exchange (IDX) program of the North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, Inc. (NTREIS). This is information about properties, not about you, but we note it here for transparency about our data sources.
