7. Direct Property Acquisition

Submitting information allows us to determine whether we may wish to acquire a property or otherwise participate in a potential transaction.

12. Massachusetts Consumer Privacy Framework
As of October 9, 2026, Massachusetts has not yet enacted a generally effective comprehensive private-sector consumer privacy statute comparable to comprehensive laws operating in states such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, or Texas.
The Massachusetts Legislature has considered comprehensive privacy legislation during the 2025–2026 session.
A major privacy bill passed both chambers in different forms in 2026, but the chambers did not concur and a conference committee was appointed.
Accordingly, proposed Massachusetts Consumer Data Privacy Act provisions should not yet be represented on this Website as current law.
Other Massachusetts and federal privacy, security, communications, financial, consumer-protection, and sector-specific laws remain applicable.
13. Voluntary Privacy Requests
Even where Massachusetts law does not presently grant one comprehensive package of general consumer privacy rights applicable to this business, you may contact us to request:
- Information concerning personal information associated with you;
- Correction of inaccurate contact information;
- Deletion where reasonably practicable;
- Removal from promotional communications;
- Restrictions on future marketing contact; or
- Information concerning our privacy practices.
We may honor voluntary requests where reasonably practicable and consistent with:
- Legal requirements;
- Existing or potential transactions;
- Contract records;
- Tax and accounting obligations;
- Fraud prevention;
- Litigation;
- Security needs;
- Legitimate business recordkeeping; and
- Rights of other persons.
Offering a voluntary process does not create a statutory right where one otherwise does not exist.
14. Massachusetts Personal Information Security Requirements
Massachusetts imposes security requirements concerning specified personal information of Massachusetts residents.
For purposes of those rules, protected “personal information” generally includes a Massachusetts resident’s:
- First name and last name or first initial and last name;
combined with specified sensitive data such as:
- Social Security number;
- Driver’s-license or state-identification number; or
- Financial-account or payment-card information capable of permitting access to an account.
Where we own or license information covered by Massachusetts security requirements, we will maintain safeguards appropriate to our obligations.
15. Written Information Security Program
Where required by Massachusetts law, we will develop, implement, maintain, and update a written information security program containing administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to:
- The size and scope of the business;
- The nature of our activities;
- The amount of data stored;
- Available resources; and
- The need for security and confidentiality.
Applicable safeguards may include access controls, authentication procedures, employee and service-provider controls, security monitoring, encryption where required or appropriate, and incident-response procedures.
16. Residents of Other States
Consumers residing outside Massachusetts may have rights under another state’s privacy law.
Depending on applicable law, those rights may include:
- Access;
- Correction;
- Deletion;
- Portability;
- Sale opt-out;
- Sharing opt-out;
- Targeted-advertising opt-out;
- Profiling rights;
- Sensitive-data protections;
- Authorized-agent rights;
- Preference-signal rights; and
- Appeals.
Where another applicable law creates such rights, we will process qualifying requests as required.
17. Browser Privacy Signals
Some browsers or devices transmit privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.
Massachusetts does not presently impose one generally applicable requirement on every private Website to recognize such a signal for ordinary personal information.
Where another applicable law requires us to recognize a qualifying signal, we will process it as required.
18. Sensitive Information
Our ordinary property-offer forms are not designed to collect unnecessary highly sensitive information such as:
- Social Security numbers;
- Banking passwords;
- Payment-card security codes;
- Medical records;
- Genetic information;
- Biometric identifiers used for unique identification;
- Religious beliefs; or
- Other sensitive information unrelated to property evaluation.
Please do not submit unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary Website forms.
Information legitimately required for closing should ordinarily be transmitted using secure methods established by the appropriate transaction professional.
19. Telephone Communications
If you provide a telephone number, we may use it to communicate concerning:
- Your property;
- Property research;
- Scheduling;
- Inspections;
- Offers;
- Follow-up;
- Potential transactions; and
- Related services.
Where state or federal law requires additional consent before regulated automated, prerecorded, artificial-voice, or marketing communications are made, legally required consent will be obtained.
You may request that calls stop.
20. Massachusetts Call Recording
Massachusetts generally prohibits the secret recording of a wire or oral communication unless prior authority has been given by all parties, subject to statutory exceptions.
Accordingly, confidential or private acquisition calls should not be secretly recorded merely because one participant consents.
If we or a provider acting on our behalf records a call, our operational practice should:
- Clearly announce that recording will occur or is occurring; and
- Obtain legally sufficient authorization from all participants before continuing with a recording where Massachusetts law applies.
Where another applicable jurisdiction imposes an additional or stricter requirement, that requirement will be followed.
21. Text Messages
If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text concerning:
- Your inquiry;
- Your property;
- Scheduling;
- Inspections;
- Offers;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Where legally required, separate or additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated or marketing messages are sent.
Consent to marketing is not a condition of receiving an offer or selling property where prohibited by law.
Message and data rates may apply.
Message frequency may vary.
Reply STOP to request that applicable messages stop.
22. Email Communications
We may use your email address to:
- Respond to inquiries;
- Communicate concerning your property;
- Provide potential-offer information;
- Schedule calls or property visits;
- Send transaction-related information;
- Follow up; and
- Send promotional communications where permitted.
Applicable promotional emails will provide an unsubscribe mechanism.
23. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Relevant considerations may include:
- Whether an inquiry remains active;
- Whether property remains of acquisition interest;
- Potential follow-up;
- Whether a transaction occurred;
- Contract requirements;
- Real-estate recordkeeping;
- Legal obligations;
- Tax and accounting requirements;
- Fraud prevention;
- Litigation;
- Insurance matters; and
- Legitimate business recordkeeping needs.
24. Information Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized:
- Access;
- Acquisition;
- Use;
- Disclosure;
- Alteration;
- Loss; and
- Destruction.
No electronic storage or Internet transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
25. Massachusetts Security-Breach Notification
Massachusetts requires qualifying businesses and other persons that own or license protected personal information concerning Massachusetts residents to provide notice after specified security breaches or unauthorized acquisition or use.
Where applicable, we will:
- Investigate the incident;
- Determine its nature and scope;
- Take appropriate measures to secure affected systems;
- Notify affected Massachusetts residents as required;
- Notify the Massachusetts Attorney General;
- Notify the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation; and
- Comply with other applicable requirements.
Required Massachusetts notice generally must be provided as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay, subject to legally permitted law-enforcement considerations.
26. Children
The Website is intended for adults involved in real estate matters.
It is not directed toward children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 through ordinary property-offer forms.
27. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites or services.
We do not control third-party:
