Website & Blog Policies

The Basic Rules:

This website and blog is moderated and edited by Brad Nix. For questions, please contact me (bnix at maxsell  dot net).  When we present data, it is believed to be accurate, but is not guaranteed. You should never make financial or real estate decisions based on anything you read on the internet anywhere without first consulting your financial adviser, CPA, attorney and/or real estate professional.

The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the writers’ own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.

This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. We believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity.
This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.

Comment Policy:

Reader comments are encouraged! But please, be civil. This does not mean you have to agree with anything we say here. In fact, we welcome debate and encourage people to express what they feel.

Spam is not tolerated on this blog. We loath spam. There are multiple spam filters in place here, but occasionally something slips through. When we find them, they will be deleted. In addition to the “typical” spam of things such as prescription medication, porn and deeply discounted software, blatant self-promotion and advertising will not be tolerated. We understand the need to advertise a business or product. Heck, some will argue that this blog is nothing but advertising for our real estate business. But then again, it is our blog and our business.  We don’t want to be put in a position of determining whose advertising should be here and whose should not.  So the rule is no advertising in the comments.

Personal attacks will not be tolerated and will be deleted.

We will *occasionally* edit a comment, but will *never* change its intent. The only thing we will edit a comment for is format, and then only if it “breaks” the blog display. We will also edit the occasional URL to “hot link” it for the convenience of other readers. Strong language may be edited — kids read here. Trust me, I’ve been known to drop the F bomb, but let’s keep it off the blog please. “Less intense” words are OK on occasion.

Collection and Use of Personal Information:

We hate spam more than you do. We will *never* sell or release your email address to anyone, unless order to do so by a court of law. I also despise old school hard-sell sales tactics and will never send you any form of marketing material unless you specifically request it.

Copyright:

All content on Phoenix Real Estate Guy is protected by US Copyright. “All content” means all content — text and images. “Fair Use” allows for small portions of text to be used and quoted as long as there is a prominent link back directly to the post URL — permission is not required for fair use (and is encouraged!). If you want to use a photo, ask.  “Scraping” this site and/or RSS feed and/or republishing content without permission is unacceptable. We will aggressively pursue any and all legal avenues to protect our copyright and intellectual property. Trust me, you don’t want to go down this road. Content theft sucks.
