Cookies and Similar Technologies
At the time of this policy the Site does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies and does not run third-party analytics or advertising pixels. The Site may use limited browser storage or technical cookies that are necessary for it to function, such as remembering interface preferences. If we add analytics or similar technologies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, provide appropriate choices.
The Site loads fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests those fonts, Google receives technical information such as your IP address. Google's handling of that information is governed by its own privacy policy.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Because we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, there is no tracking for a browser signal to opt you out of. We treat recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of any such activity to the extent applicable law requires.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share personal information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers that help us operate the Site and our business, such as website hosting and content delivery, form processing and email delivery, communications, and professional advisors. They may use the information only to provide services to us.
- Clients, counterparties, and transaction participants when needed to carry out an engagement you have asked us to perform, and with your direction or consent.
- Legal and safety reasons, such as to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, or investigate fraud or security issues.
- Business transfers in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business.
- With your consent or at your direction.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to maintain business relationships, meet legal, tax, and recordkeeping requirements (including those applicable to real estate brokerage), resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encrypted connections to the Site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not submit confidential offering materials, financial account details, government identification numbers, passwords, or other sensitive information through the Site's forms. If you need to exchange sensitive documents, contact us and we will arrange an appropriate method.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- request access to the personal information we hold about you and a copy of it

To make a request, call us at (520) 600-7004 or use the contact form and identify your request. We may need to verify your identity before acting on it, and you may use an authorized agent where the law permits. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. If we decline a request, you may ask us to reconsider, and we will explain the basis for our decision.
