1. Information We Collect

We collect two main types of information:

Personal Information (information that identifies you):

• Contact      details: Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and ZIP code.
• Real      estate-related information: Property preferences, home search criteria,      budget details, financing information, property viewing history, or      details from buyer/seller consultations.
• Identification      and transaction data: Government-issued ID (when required for      transactions), financial information (shared with lenders or title      companies as directed), or other details needed to facilitate buying,      selling, or leasing property.
• Communication      content: Messages, inquiries, or feedback you send us.

Non-Personal / Automatically Collected Information:

• Usage      data: IP address, browser type, device information, operating system,      pages visited, and time spent on our site.
• Cookies      and tracking technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, or similar tools      to improve user experience, analyze site traffic, and deliver relevant      property listings. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser      settings.

We may also receive information about you from third parties, such as multiple listing services (MLS), lead generation platforms, or referral partners, when you inquire about properties or authorize sharing.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• Responding      to your inquiries and providing real estate services (e.g., showing      properties, preparing offers, or assisting with transactions).
• Communicating      with you about listings, market updates, or appointments.
• Facilitating      transactions, including sharing necessary information with lenders, title      companies, inspectors, appraisers, or other service providers you      authorize.
• Improving      our website and services through analytics.
• Complying      with legal obligations, such as record-keeping requirements under Texas      Real Estate Commission (TREC) rules.
• Marketing      our services (with your consent where required), including sending      newsletters or targeted property recommendations.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary gain. We may share anonymized or aggregated data for industry insights.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may disclose your information in these limited circumstances:

• Service      Providers: With trusted third parties (e.g., MLS platforms, CRM tools,      email marketing services, or transaction coordinators) who assist in our      operations and are bound by confidentiality.
• Transaction      Partners: With lenders, title companies, attorneys, home inspectors,      or other professionals involved in your real estate transaction (only as      necessary and with your involvement).
• Legal      Requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect our      rights, safety, or property.
• Business      Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets      (though unlikely for an individual realtor practice).

We do not share your information with unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
