Contact

If you, as a consumer, choose to contact a real estate agent or a Lender (as defined below) through use of the Services offered on the Site by filling out a contact or other request form on the Site, you authorize us to provide your name and contact information and other identifying information you provide to the applicable real estate agent or Lender consistent with our Privacy Policy.

You acknowledge that, by submitting your contact request or other request form on the Site or by electing to request pre-approval, you may receive telemarketing calls from or on behalf of the real estate agent or Lender at the telephone number(s) you provide.

The Services on the site may include providing phone numbers that can connect you with IdealEstate.co, its service providers, or other third parties, such as real estate agents and Lenders. Some of the numbers listed may be routed through a third party service ("Calling Service"). Calls through the Calling Service may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance and customer service purposes. In the event that you make a call to IdealEstate.co or through a Calling Service, you consent to such recording and monitoring. We will treat recorded calls in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

The Role of IdealEstate.co

You acknowledge and agree that we are not a licensed real estate broker and do not broker real estate transactions. We do not act as a real estate agent for you or any other user and we do not sell, buy, or negotiate the purchase, sale, or exchange of real property. Further, we do not lease or rent, offer to lease or rent, or negotiate the lease of real property or otherwise aid or assist in the lease of real property.

Fees

The Services offered by IdealEstate.co are free to consumers.

Professionals may be required to pay fees to access certain features, or Services. These services may include subscriptions, advertising, or other promotions. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable and final upon purchase. If IdealEstate changes the fees for all or part of the Services, including by adding fees or charges, IdealEstate will provide you advance notice of those changes. If you do not accept the changes, IdealEstate may discontinue providing the applicable part of the Services to you. IdealEstate’s authorized third-party payment processor will charge the payment method you specified at the time of purchase.

You authorize IdealEstate to charge all fees as described in these Terms of Use for the Services you select to that payment method. If you pay any fees with a credit card, IdealEstate may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account before your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.

Subscriptions. The Services may include features that allow for automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). If you decide to activate a Subscription Service, you authorize IdealEstate to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on the payment due date for the accrued sums. The subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your subscription, or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic subscription fee to your account. We will bill the periodic subscription fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your payment information). IdealEstate may change the subscription fee for any subsequent subscription period but will provide you advance notice of any increase before it applies. You may cancel a Subscription Service by contacting us at: [email protected] or through your settings page for the paid feature.

User Disputes

If you believe that your account has been used for an unauthorized, fraudulent or otherwise problematic Transaction, you agree to notify us immediately, so that we may take action to help prevent financial loss.

"What I like about IdealEstate is that it champions agents and makes searching for a home online fun, as opposed to a chore. It’s very non-aggressive and welcoming —buyers won’t feel like they’re trying to find a home. When you see your IdealEstate invitation, accept it. Try something different for yourself and your clients."
