Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: July 3, 2026

Welcome to the Carmela Homes website. These Terms and Conditions explain the rules for using our website, submitting information through our forms, viewing property information, and interacting with our online real estate services.

By using this website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use this website.

About Carmela Homes

Carmela Homes provides real estate brokerage services in New York. Our website is intended for individuals interested in buying, selling, renting, leasing, or learning more about real estate in New York.

The information on this website is provided for general informational and real estate marketing purposes only.

Website Information

We work to keep the information on our website accurate and up to date. However, real estate information can change quickly.

Property availability, pricing, features, taxes, fees, measurements, square footage, building information, school information, neighborhood details, and other listing information may change without notice.

All listing information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed. Visitors should independently verify any information that is important to their decision.

Property Listings

Property listings displayed on this website may include information provided by sellers, landlords, property owners, other brokers, MLS or IDX providers, public records, third-party listing platforms, or other sources.

Carmela Homes does not guarantee that every listing is available, accurate, complete, or current at the time it is viewed. Properties may be sold, rented, withdrawn, temporarily unavailable, or subject to price changes.

Photos, floor plans, descriptions, measurements, and property details are for marketing purposes and should be independently confirmed.

IDX, MLS, And Property Search Tools

If this website includes IDX, MLS, saved search, property alerts, map search, or other property search tools, those tools may be powered by third-party providers.

Search results, listing information, and property data may be subject to the rules, disclaimers, and data limitations of the applicable MLS, IDX provider, or technology platform.

Carmela Homes is not responsible for errors, delays, omissions, or inaccuracies in third-party listing data.

No Guarantee Of Results

Carmela Homes does not guarantee that any buyer will purchase a property, any seller will receive a specific price, any landlord will secure a tenant, any renter will be approved for an apartment, or any transaction will be completed.

Real estate outcomes depend on many factors, including market conditions, pricing, property condition, financing, landlord requirements, seller decisions, buyer qualifications, renter qualifications, timing, and applicable laws.

No Legal, Financial, Tax, Or Mortgage Advice

The information on this website is not legal, financial, tax, mortgage, appraisal, inspection, engineering, or insurance advice.

You should consult the appropriate licensed professional before making decisions involving contracts, financing, taxes, inspections, property condition, legal rights, or investment matters.

Forms And User Submissions

If you submit a form, request information, schedule a showing, ask for a home evaluation, inquire about a rental, or contact us through the website, you agree that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

You should not submit false, misleading, unlawful, or unauthorized information.

Submitting a form does not create a binding agreement, agency relationship, client relationship, or brokerage agreement unless a separate written agreement is signed where required.

Calls, Texts, And Emails

By providing your phone number or email address, you agree that Carmela Homes may contact you about your inquiry, property search, rental request, home evaluation, listing, showing, appointment, or related real estate service.

We may contact you by phone, text message, or email. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or contacting us directly. If text messaging is used, you may opt out by replying “STOP” when applicable.

Rental Inquiries And Applications

Rental listings, rental pricing, availability, fees, lease terms, pet policies, income requirements, credit requirements, occupancy limits, and application requirements may vary by property and may change without notice.

Submitting a rental inquiry or application does not guarantee approval, availability, or the right to lease a property.

Landlords, property owners, managing agents, or screening providers may have their own application requirements, approval standards, fees, and timelines. Carmela Homes is not responsible for final approval decisions made by landlords, property owners, managing agents, or screening providers.

Home Valuations And Market Estimates

Any home valuation, price opinion, market estimate, rent estimate, or property value information provided through this website is for general informational purposes only.

A website estimate is not an appraisal and should not be relied upon as a guaranteed sale price, rental price, or property value. Actual results may vary based on market conditions, property condition, location, demand, timing, comparable sales, and other factors.

Fair Housing And Equal Opportunity

Carmela Homes supports fair housing and equal opportunity in real estate. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, creed, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, familial status, marital status, age, military status, lawful source of income, or any other status protected by applicable law.

All users of this website agree not to use the website, forms, listings, or services for any discriminatory, unlawful, misleading, or improper purpose.

New York Real Estate Notices

Certain New York real estate notices, disclosures, and operating procedures may be posted separately on this website, including Standardized Operating Procedures and Fair Housing information.

Those notices are separate from these Terms and Conditions and should be reviewed where applicable.
