Terms of service

These terms govern your use of michaelfielden.com, the website of Michael Fielden, a Realtor with Luxuriant Realty (CA DRE# 01932285). By using the site, you agree to them.

What this site is

michaelfielden.com is an informational and marketing site. It provides:

• General information about buying and selling real estate in the Bay Area
• The buyer’s playbook (PDF and inline flipbook)
• Editorial content (the journal) on real estate topics
• Area pages summarizing the markets I work in
• A contact form for prospective clients

What this site is not

Information on this site is general guidance, not personalized advice. Real estate transactions are complex and individual circumstances vary. Nothing on this site:

• Constitutes legal, tax, or financial advice
• Creates an agent-client relationship — that relationship is formed only by a signed written representation agreement (the BRBC in California)
• Guarantees the accuracy of market data, pricing, or third-party information at any specific moment

For actual decisions about a property or transaction, talk to me directly, and consult appropriate professionals (attorney, CPA, lender, inspector) as needed.

Licensure and equal housing opportunity

I am a California-licensed Realtor under DRE# 01932285, affiliated with Luxuriant Realty. I comply with the Fair Housing Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and related anti-discrimination laws. I do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), national origin, familial status, disability, source of income, or any other protected category.

If you believe I have violated these laws, you may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (hud.gov), the California Civil Rights Department (calcivilrights.ca.gov), or the California Department of Real Estate (dre.ca.gov).

Intellectual property

All content on this site — the writing, the design, the photographs, the buyer’s playbook PDF — is my work or licensed to me. You are welcome to:

• Read all of it
• Share links to any public page on the site
• Quote short passages with attribution
• Download the buyer’s playbook for personal use

You may not, without my written permission:

• Reproduce the buyer’s playbook for commercial purposes
• Republish or scrape journal content
• Use any content from this site to train or fine-tune AI models

Links to other sites

I sometimes link to third-party resources — lenders, government sites, school data, news articles. I don’t control those sites and I’m not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

Disclaimers

I make a real effort to keep content accurate. Real estate moves fast, regulations change, and individual situations vary. To the extent permitted by law:

• This site is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind
• I am not liable for decisions you make based on information you find here
• Always verify time-sensitive information (rates, listings, recent comparable sales) before relying on it

Limitation of liability

Use of this site is at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by California law, my liability for anything related to your use of this site is limited.

Changes to these terms

I may update these terms. The “last updated” date at the top will change when I do.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute related to this site or its use is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California.
