Terms Of Use

These are the terms of use ("Terms") for the "Homes for Sale", "Apartments for Rent", and "Recently Sold Homes" (collectively, the Applications) and websites (collectively, "Websites") owned and/or operated by Smarter Agent, LLC ("Smarter Agent"). The Applications and websites are sometimes collectively referred to in these Terms as the "Services". It is important that you read and accept these terms of use prior to accessing, downloading or otherwise using the Services and the related software, data or technology used, stored, licensed or accessed with the Services and the related intellectual property embodied therein.

Do not use the Services if you do not accept these Terms. This means that you should promptly cease accessing or otherwise using the Services and exit this page before downloading, accessing, using, subscribing or installing any Services.

Use of the Services will be deemed acceptance of these Terms.

  1. General. The Services are owned and/or operated by Smarter Agent and are intended for personal use. Any commercial use of the Services is limited to transactions done on your behalf, or by Real Estate Brokers or Agents or other third parties that have separately licensed use of the Services from Smarter Agent under a written license agreement (a Smarter Agent "Licensee").

  2. Privacy and Mobile Terms of Use Policies. Your use of the Services is expressly governed by Smarter Agent's privacy and mobile terms of use policies which are expressly incorporated in these Terms as if fully stated herein. You can find these policies at: Privacy Policy and Mobile Terms of Use.

  3. Accuracy of Information. You agree to provide Smarter Agent with true, accurate, current and complete information when subscribing to an Application, and promptly update any changes to this information.

  4. Modification and Notices. Smarter Agent may revise or remove any part of the Terms in its sole discretion at any time and without prior notice to you. All changes are effective upon posting to the Smarter Agent website. You should visit this page periodically for changes. Your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Services if you disagree with the Terms. Your continued use after a change has been posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes. You hereby consent to electronically receive communications, notices, agreements, legal disclosures or other information (collectively, "Notices") in connection with the Services. Smarter Agent may also post Notices on Websites or sending Notices to your mobile device. You may withdraw from the consent to receive Notices electronically by discontinuing all use of the Services.

  5. Site Security. You are prohibited from violating, or attempting to violate, the security of this Services. Any such violations may result in criminal and/or civil penalties against you. Smarter Agent will investigate any alleged or suspected violations and if a criminal violation is suspected, we will cooperate with law enforcement agencies in their investigations.

  6. Applications. An Application often combines GPS, wireless and web technologies, and may be offered under a Smarter Agent or Licensee brand "powered by Smarter Agent". Smarter Agent may need to periodically record your location, either through the GPS technologies of your mobile device or through entering your location on the device. You hereby expressly authorize Smarter Agent to allow your mobile device to be located, and these locations to be recorded, compiled, stored and displayed. Use of a mobile device may require payment of a monthly fee to a wireless carrier. Use of an Application may also require payment of certain fees imposed by your wireless carrier or a Licensee. In these instances, you will be required to comply with the relevant payment requirements imposed the these third parties, including the provision of appropriate credit card information, before gaining access to the Application. Failure to make any required continued payments will cause your access to an Application to be suspended or terminated.

  7. More on Location. Smarter Agent may share non-personal or summary information about our visitors with third parties, which is a customary practice. For example, we might provide a count of our users from a particular ZIP code. In GPS mode, we do not track your location coordinates as you move from property to property. Only when you start a search do we return information that matches your location or request. When you schedule an appointment or want to receive more information by talking to an agent, the Services provide us permission to share this information with the broker/agent, (i.e. we are placing a call to a Broker/Agent and transmitting the property information to the Broker/Agent). At the time you need to ask specific property questions, these questions by law, must be handled by a licensed real estate agent.

  8. Short Codes: The Smarter Agent short code offering is intended to provide you with the ability to obtain more information in a text message. The call-to-action key word is often listed on a real estate rider attached to a sign. You must have an SMS/text messaging-enabled mobile phone to utilize this capability. Currently, the following wireless carriers are supported: - Alltel - AT&T - Cellular One - Nextel/Boost - Sprint - T-Mobile - US Cellular - Verizon Wireless - Virgin Mobile. Smarter Agent does not charge users for this service, but standard message charges or other charges from our wireless carrier likely do apply. You may opt out of the Smarter Agent text message service at any time by texting STOP to our short code from your mobile phone. We will unsubscribe you from our text messaging service immediately.

  9. IDX and Broker Reciprocity. The Services provide access to listings and local real estate content ("Information"), including data provided by real estate brokers where IDX or VOW MLS data ("MLS data") is displayed. Use of an Application is expressly subject to all MLS, National Association of Realtors (NAR), Local MLS, State and Federal regulations governing real estate. All data obtained from the IDX and VOW MLS database is intended only for the user's personal, non-commercial use and where the user has a bona fide interest in the purchase, sale, or lease of real estate of the type being offered through the MLS database. You may not copy, redistribute or retransmit any of the data or information provided. You expressly acknowledge the MLS's ownership of and the validity of the copyright in the MLS database. Broker Reciprocity, or IDX/Internet Display, is a service mandated by the NAR, which allows any real estate broker in an area to post all the listings on their site, no matter what Broker/Agent actually has the listing. VOW, or Virtual Office Websites, have similar rules which Smarter Agent has determined to follow and are applicable to your use of the Services. Information is deemed to be reliable but is not guaranteed. All real estate IDX MLS listings are marked with the Broker Reciprocity Logo and detailed information about them includes the listing Broker/Agent name as required by the local MLS. The listing broker has attempted to offer accurate data, but you are strongly advised to confirm all items. Some properties which appear for sale may no longer be available because they are under contract, have sold or are no longer being offered for sale. The listings of some real estate firms do not appear if that firm or homeowner requested its listing to be withheld from public display. Smarter Agent assumes no liability for the accuracy of any MLS data, or other information presented by any Broker or Agent.

  10. Scheduling an Appointment; Getting More Information. Smarter Agent records each "For Sale Property" viewed by you using the Services. Whenever you select "Call To See" to schedule an appointment to view a property, you are providing Smarter Agent with the express permission to share the related For Sale Property with real estate brokers/agents even if you call is not completed. Specific question about a property can only be answered by a licensed real estate agent. Site Security. You are prohibited from violating, or attempting to violate, the security of the Services. Any such violations may result in criminal and/or civil penalties against you. Smarter Agent will investigate any alleged or suspected violations and if a criminal violation is suspected, we will cooperate with law enforcement agencies in their investigations.

  2. Usage logs. Your mobile devices and computers communicate a variety of information about how you use the Services, and a record of what information you have reviewed including real estate properties, web pages and advertisements.
  3. Smarter Agent Cookies. Cookies are bits of electronic information that can be transferred to a computer to uniquely identify that computer's browser. Cookies provide us with a unique anonymous feature that we can use in identifying — and enhancing — the use of our Services. For instance, we use cookies to backfill data as a user moves from tool to tool or search to search. When a registered user returns to the Services, we can return them to the areas and search results in which they are most interested. We sometimes use outside companies to display advertising on our Web site. These ads may place cookies on your computer, which are referenced by our ad companies. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other web sites in order to provide advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services of interest to you. We do not have access to these cookies or any information that they may contain.
  4. Web Beacons. Web beacons are electronic files that are used to count users who have visited our Services or to identify certain cookies on the computers accessing our Services.

You may restrict the information provided to Smarter Agent. For example, you may decline to provide us with your personal information, disable cookies and use security software to prevent the storage of cookies. Restricting information will however materially reduce and diminish the value of the Services we provide to you.

How we use Information. The primary reason Smarter Agent collects information is to enable it to provide the essential and enhanced elements of the Services. Smarter Agent also collects information to enable its 3rd-party Business Partners to provide services to you, such as Real Estate Brokers who provide brokerage services. For example:

  1. Location Information is used to provide relevant information about the properties you are in front of or in proximity with. We could not provide this information to you in the absence of this location information.
  2. Activity Information. We attach your activity information to your user profile, and this information is used by Smarter Agent to provide you with useful information and relevant advertising.
  3. Property Information. Knowing what type of properties you are interested in is important to a Realtorâ„¢ providing brokerage services to you in tandem with Smarter Agent, or if receiving financial information or a mortgage pre-approval from a lender. Once again, this information is vital to our 3rd-party Business Partners to help you with your real estate needs.
  4. Personal Information. We are legally required to know your identity to make certain information available to you such as MLS data.

We recognize that maintaining the privacy of your personal information is important, and for this reason we do not share any of your personal information with third parties without your consent. We will not sell your personal information to any third-party or share your information with telemarketing companies or direct mail companies, and adhere to principles of mutual respect.

Compensation between parties. Smarter Agent may be compensated by its 3rd-party Business Partners if you purchase or lease a property through them.

Wireless Advertising. Our business model is supported by advertising and this revenue stream enables us to provide high quality Services to you. We seek to make advertising relevant to you, which we are able to do this based on the information we collect during your use of our Services. This advertising will only become interactive if you click on it and these advertisers will not know your location or personal information.

Scheduling an Appointment. When you schedule an appointment, or want to talk to a Realtorâ„¢, or get more information:

  1. When viewing "For Sale Properties", we note the properties that you've viewed. If you request more information or request a call back to schedule an appointment to view a property, you give Smarter Agent permission to share this information within its 3rd-party Business Partners.
  2. At the time you decide you are ready, or need to ask specific property questions, these questions by law, must be handled by a licensed Realtorâ„¢. By law we must give you all necessary disclosures, as the buying and selling of real estate is a highly regulated industry. For example, you will be required to consent to the state mandated Consumer Information Statement, before you receive detailed property information from us. Please recognize Smarter Agent is a licensed Realtorâ„¢ and is required to meet all local, MLS, state and federal rules and regulations and laws as relates to the buying, selling and financing of real estate.

About Broker Reciprocity/VOW technology. Broker Reciprocity, or IDX/Internet Display, as it is sometimes called, is a service mandated by the National Association of Realtorsâ„¢, which allows any real estate broker in an area to post all the listings on their web site, no matter what Realtorâ„¢ actually has the listing. VOW, or Virtual Office Sites, are sites run by Realtorsâ„¢ that mirror the information one could obtain if you were in their physical office. Smarter Agent provides you with IDX data, and in some instances VOW and third party data only if you are a registered user for the Services.

Security. Personally identifiable information collected by Smarter Agent is stored in operating environments that are not available to the public. This information is not stored on the Internet but on a Smarter Agent secure server. We take reasonable steps to protect this data.

Other Registration, Unsubscribe and Update Issues. Personally identifiable information may be required to receive certain products or services. Smarter Agent may disclose personally identifiable information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Smarter Agent; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Smarter Agent, the Services or the users of Smarter Agent, and (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Smarter Agent or the public.

Summary Info. Smarter Agent may share non-personal aggregate or summary information about our visitors with our 3rd-party Business Partners or other third parties, which is a customary practice on the Internet. For example, we might provide a count of our users from a particular ZIP code.

Other Sites. Smarter Agent may present advertisements or links to third parties such as our 3rd-party Business Partners. When you click on these links or enter information, you may be transferred to an advertiser or third-party's Web site. Smarter Agent has no control over the privacy practices or information that these sites may request of you. We are not and cannot be held responsible for the privacy practices or content by these entities.

Merger or Sale of Smarter Agent. Any third party that acquires Smarter Agent, whether through a sale of stock, sale of assets or statutory merger, will obtain access to personal information as part of the overall business transaction.
