The LISTED Service
The LISTED Service allows you to simplify your real estate search by providing a fun, easy and useful real estate search tool. The Service allows you to perform personalized searches of real estate listings by participating brokers within your current or selected geographic location. The Service is available on a subscription basis for REALTORS® and free of charge to their clients. Consumers must have a relationship with a real estate broker in order to access the Service. The Service is not intended to solicit consumers already under exclusive contact with other brokerages. If you do not have a broker, a default system REALTOR® will be assigned to you, in order to provide you with access to the Service.
The information provided on the Service is from sources we consider reliable, but because it is supplied by third parties, we cannot guarantee that it is accurate or complete. All listing and other data is subject to changes without notices, and to errors and omissions. The data has not been, and cannot be verified by us.
You should use your own judgment regarding the merits of any data, individual, or entity that you find on or through the Service. In spite of our good faith efforts, we cannot and do not represent or warrant that any individual or entity whose services are promoted or offered on or through the Service is registered, licensed, qualified, or otherwise authorized or capable of performing any described services.
LISTED and its affiliates do not make any representations, warranties or assurances as to the timeliness, completeness or accuracy of the information provided by any real estate professional, real estate agent, broker, brokerage, affiliate, appraiser or other real estate- or real-property-related service provider on or through the Service.
