Listings Quality Policy

April, 12 2021

Users of the Casacito Real Estate services (including all properties owned and operated by Casacito Real Estate  Services, related data and/or related services) (collectively, the “Services”) acknowledge and agree to comply with the following Listings Quality Policy (the “Policy”). Casacito Real Estate reserves the right to remove any content that violates any of Casacito Real Estate terms of use or policies or is otherwise inappropriate. In the event that Casacito Real Estate discovers a violation of any of Casacito Real Estate terms of use or policies, Casacito Real Estate may remove all or certain portions of your listings from the Services, terminate your Casacito Real Estate account(s), and/or restrict your access to the Services.

1. Advertising and Claiming Listings.

  • a. Advertising Listings. Except as provided in this section 1(a), listings (regardless of the type) may only be advertised by the real estate Agent (the “Agent”) who is the contracted, exclusive listing Agent for such listing. A listing may also be advertised by the exclusive listing Agent’s broker-owner or team lead. A broker-owner or team lead that advertises a listing on behalf of the listing Agent must update their profile on the Services so it represents the team or company instead of an individual Agent. This can be done by changing the screen name and profile picture. Once a profile represents the office, permission from the listing Agent is also required for the broker-owner or team lead to advertise another Agent’s listings.
  • b. Open Listings. You are not permitted to advertise “open” or “ok to advertise” listings on the services.
  • c. Pocket Listings. As long as you are the contracted, exclusive listing Agent, you may advertise a pocket listing on the Services. Casacito Real Estate may require that you provide the listing contract(s) that verify you have an exclusive right to advertise the listing. If Casacito Real Estate is unable to verify that you are the contracted, exclusive listing Agent, Casacito Real Estate may remove the listing(s).
  • d. New Construction Homes. Casacito Real Estate offers a product for new construction and developments and strongly prefers that the corresponding data be provided to Casacito Real Estate directly by the builder. As long as the builder has granted you the exclusive right to advertise a listing, you may advertise it on the Services. Casacito Real Estate may require that you provide the listing contract(s) that verify you have an exclusive right to advertise the listing. If Casacito Real Estate is unable to verify that you are the contracted, exclusive listing Agent, Casacito Real Estate may remove the listing(s) and/or your claim on the listing(s). New Construction Homes cannot be listed as “For Sale by Owner.” If the new construction home does not have an established address, Casacito Real Estate may require you use the area or closest intersection as the address.
  • e. Undisclosed Addresses. A complete address is required for Casacito Real Estate to investigate listings and maintain listing quality. Each listing posted directly via the Casacito website must include a complete address, including the street number. If you do not want to disclose the address, you must use a syndication service that allows you to opt out of displaying the address online. If Casacito Real Estate is unable to verify a listing with an incomplete address, Casacito Real Estate may remove the listing at any time, without warning.
  • f. For Sale by Owner (FSBO). Only the property owner may advertise it as a FSBO. Casacito Real Estate may require that you provide a certificate of title or other documentation to verify you are the owner. If Casacito Real Estate is unable to verify that you are the property owner, Casacito Real Estate may remove the listing(s) and/or your claim on the listing(s). If you are represented by an agent you may not represent your home as a FSBO.
  • g. Hypertext Links. If the listing includes a hypertext link, the hypertext link may only link to Your website and may not link to the Broker Portal Project website or successor site(s), or any site that is not 100% owned and controlled by you, your Agent, or your broker.
  • h. Seller-financed Properties. Casacito Real Estate prohibits properties that require seller-financing or otherwise prohibit use of the buyer’s own financing.

2. Limitations on Self-Promotion and Marketing. 

  • a. Photos and Video Walkthroughs. You may not include marketing information, including, without limitation, an Agent’s name, company name, logo, phone number and/or email address on listing photos or in video walkthroughs, whether as text, a watermark, or otherwise.
  • b. Listing Descriptions. You may not include marketing information, including, without limitation, an Agent’s name, phone number and/or email address within a listing description.
  • c. Profile Name and Photo. You may not include contact information, or any promotional or marketing information (including a phone number, email address, website URL, promotional tagline or slogan, or discount offer) in your profile photo or as part of your name as it appears in your profile. Your name as it appears in your profile may not include titles, descriptions, or any information other than your name or your business or team name. You may not display a business or team name in your profile other than the official business or team name under which you formally provide services to clients both on and off of Casacito. Casacito may require you to provide documentation to support the foregoing.

3. Claiming Past Sales

  • a. Only the buyer’s Agent and the seller’s Agent identified in their listing report are permitted to claim such listing as a past sale in their profile on the Services.
  • b. Only one Agent can claim a particular side of a transaction. If a listing was co-listed, only one Agent will be eligible to claim the past sale in their profile on the Services.
  • c. If the Agent is part of a team at the time of a transaction, the individual Agent is permitted to claim the corresponding listing as a past sale in their profile on the services, unless an agreement between the Agent and their team and/or brokerage indicates otherwise.
