About Real Estate Crafts
Real Estate Crafts is a residential consumer real estate information resource serving readers in the United States.
We publish educational content about renting, financing, buying, inspecting, appraising, closing, owning, maintaining, improving, protecting, selling, and moving from a home.
These terms apply to your use of the Real Estate Crafts website and should be read together with our Privacy Policy and other policies published on the site.
Informational and Educational Purposes
This site provides general educational and informational content.
Residential real estate decisions depend on many factors, including location, property condition, finances, contracts, applicable laws, lender requirements, insurance coverage, professional assessments, and individual circumstances.
Information that applies to one property, transaction, location, or person may not apply to another.
You are responsible for deciding whether information published on the site applies to your circumstances and for verifying important information before relying on it for a significant decision.
No Professional Advice
Real Estate Crafts does not provide personal legal, financial, tax, investment, lending, insurance, medical, engineering, architectural, construction, environmental, or other professional advice.
Content on this website does not replace advice from a qualified professional who can review the facts of your specific situation.
When a decision can have significant legal, financial, health, safety, structural, environmental, or other consequences, you should consult an appropriately qualified professional or the responsible government authority.
No Professional or Client Relationship
Using our website does not create an attorney-client, accountant-client, fiduciary, advisory, brokerage, lender-borrower, insurance, contractor-client, healthcare, engineering, or similar professional relationship.
Reading an article, submitting a question, reporting a possible correction, or contacting Real Estate Crafts does not create such a relationship.
Do not send information through a general website form on the assumption that it will receive the protections of a professional privilege or confidential professional relationship.
Accuracy and Timeliness
We work to publish accurate, useful, and well-supported information.
We do not guarantee that every article will remain complete, current, error-free, or applicable to every situation.
Residential real estate information can change.
Laws, regulations, government programs, mortgage requirements, interest rates, taxes, insurance requirements, fees, eligibility rules, building standards, product terms, and market conditions can change after publication or differ by location.
Verify information that could materially affect a transaction, financial decision, legal right, application, deadline, property condition, health, or safety decision.
Our Editorial Policy explains how we research, review, source, and update content.
Our Corrections Policy explains how we review and correct possible errors.
No Guarantee of Results
We do not guarantee that the following information published on the website will produce a particular financial, legal, real estate, lending, repair, renovation, homeownership, or other result.
Properties, transactions, markets, lenders, service providers, costs, timelines, and individual circumstances vary.
We provide examples, estimates, calculations, scenarios, and illustrations to explain a subject. They are not guarantees of actual outcomes.
