We collect information that you voluntarily provide when engaging our services, including your name, contact details (email address, phone number), residential preferences, budget parameters, and timeline requirements. Additionally, we may collect information about your property viewings, lease preferences, and communications with our team. This information is essential for providing appropriate residential search services and matching properties to your stated requirements.
For website visitors, we automatically collect certain technical information including IP address, browser type, and pages visited through standard web analytics tools. This data helps us improve our website functionality and user experience.
