Upon receipt of a notice alleging copyright infringement, we will take whatever action we deem appropriate, including removal of the allegedly infringing materials.

If you believe that your intellectual property rights are being violated by this website, please provide the following information to our designated Copyright Agent:

• A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the website.

MLS Listing Data

This website displays listing data from one or more third-party Multiple Listing Services (MLS). If your copyright claim is regarding a listing, that same listing data is most likely being displayed by many other websites, and you will need to make your claim directly to the Copyright Agent of the MLS providing the data, and more specifically to the broker who originally submitted a specific listing – and who is responsible for updating it in the MLS database.

Listings displayed on this website are clearly marked with an MLS logo and broker information that identify the source of the listing. Additionally, MLS disclaimers are shown in the footer of pages that contain listing data. Individual MLSs may have their own DMCA policies similar to this one.

If in doubt, please contact our Copyright Agent (our website hosting company) who may be able to address your issue directly and if not will help point you in the right direction.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyze web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences. 

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Log files

Like most standard website servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movement in the aggregate and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
