📜 The “Gillum Version” (What This Means)
Your privacy and trust are the most important things to me. In a world that treats you like “just another number,” we believe in treating you like a person. To me, that means being honest and protective of your personal information.
Some folks worry about the “invasive” financial questions in the loan process. Others worry their information will be passed around by an agent who doesn’t care.
Here is my simple, genuine promise to you:
- We Only Collect What We Need. When you fill out a “Contact Me” form, we’ll ask for your name, email, and phone number. We only use this to do what you asked us to do—answer your question, send you listings, or start the home-buying process.
- We Will NEVER Sell Your Data. Ever. Period. Our passion is for people, not paychecks, and selling your data is the definition of a “transactional” agent. We will not do it.
- We Share Only With Your Permission. The only time we share your personal information with a partner (like a lender or inspector) is after we’ve had a conversation, I’ve explained why, and you have given us your full, express permission.
- We Keep it Secure. We use standard security measures to protect your information.
- You Are in Control. You can opt out of any emails at any time.
You’ve probably seen those “cookie” pop-ups everywhere, and they can be confusing. We use them for two simple, helpful reasons:
First, to make our site work better, we use tools like Google Analytics to help us understand how folks use our website. It tells us what pages are helpful and what pages are not, which helps me improve the site to better serve you. This tool collects general, anonymous information and doesn’t tell me who you are.
Second, to be more helpful to you, we may use advertising services, like Google Ads. If you visit our site, these tools may use a cookie to “remember” that you were here. This way, if you’re on another website later, we might be able to show you a helpful ad—for example, a guide for first-time buyers or a note about our services.
My Promise on This: My goal is to be a helpful resource, not a bother. You are always in control. You can opt out of this kind of advertising at any time by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or by checking your Google Ad Settings.
My mission is to be a pathway to serve you, and that starts with protecting your privacy with the highest standards of integrity.
