Disclaimer: Distinction between Licensed Real Estate Agent and Blog Content

The following demarcation disclaimer outlines the differences between a licensed real estate agent and the blog content, which serves as the primary purpose of the website, particularly. No active listings or services are being solicited.

Licensed Real Estate Agent:

The website features a licensed real estate agent who operates within the guidelines and regulations of the real estate industry. The agent and website owner’s role does not intend to refer clients via the website — and the site is not currently intended for sales lead generation.

Blog Content

The primary purpose of the website is to provide engaging and informative blog content related to various aspects of real estate, design, and architecture. The content is intended for general informational purposes only and should not be considered as professional advice or a substitute for personalized consultation. The opinions expressed in the blog content do not necessarily reflect the views of the licensed real estate agent. They do not represent the views of any real estate broker or any affiliation, (unless specifically quoted and stated so).

Please note the following important points regarding the demarcation disclaimer:

  • The blog content on the website serves as general information and should not be construed as professional advice.

  • The opinions expressed in the blog content are those of the authors and do not represent the licensed real estate agent's viewpoints.

Fair Use
Fair use is a legal doctrine that promotes freedom of expression by permitting the unlicensed use of copyright-protected works in certain circumstances. Section 107 of the Copyright Act provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is a fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use.
