Privacy Policy
Fisher-McClellan Real Estate ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of our clients, website visitors, and users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website, use our services, or interact with us in any capacity.
By accessing our website or engaging our services, you consent to the practices described in this policy. We encourage you to read this document carefully and contact us with any questions.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We collect information that you voluntarily provide when you interact with us, including:
- Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address
- Property search preferences and criteria
- Financial information relevant to real estate transactions
- Messages, inquiries, and correspondence submitted through our website or directly to our agents
- Your email address, if you sign in to save homes or searches (we email you a sign-in link; there is no username or password)
- Feedback, testimonials, or reviews you choose to share
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our servers record basic technical details of each request: your IP address, the page requested, the referring page, and your browser type. We use these records only to keep the site running and secure, and they are deleted after about two weeks.
Information from Third Parties
We may receive information from third-party sources, including Multiple Listing Services (MLS) and public records. This information helps us provide accurate property data and improve your experience.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide real estate brokerage services, including property searches, market analyses, and transaction support
- To respond to your inquiries, schedule appointments, and communicate about properties
- To send property alerts, market updates, newsletters, and promotional materials (with your consent)
- To personalize your website experience and display relevant property recommendations
- To improve our website, services, and business operations

- To protect our rights, property, and the safety of our clients and the public
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small data files stored in your browser. This website uses very few of them, and none for advertising:
- Sign-in cookie — if you sign in to save homes or searches, a secure cookie keeps you signed in for up to 30 days. Signing out removes it.
- Tool notes — some tools, such as the home valuation, keep a short note in your browser while the tab is open, so a refresh doesn't lose your place.
We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not use third-party analytics services. Some pages show content from other services, such as a video or virtual tour, the map, or the site's fonts. Those services receive the usual technical details of your browser's request and may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies.
You can clear or block cookies at any time in your browser's settings. If you block the sign-in cookie, you won't stay signed in.
Information Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers — trusted vendors who assist with website hosting and email delivery on our behalf
- Real estate partners — cooperating brokerages, title companies, lenders, inspectors, and other professionals involved in real estate transactions, as necessary to facilitate your transaction
- MLS and industry databases — as required for listing and transaction reporting
- Legal compliance — when required by law, regulation, court order, or governmental authority
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include encrypted data transmission, secure server infrastructure, and restricted access to personal information.
While we take data security seriously, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your information to the best of our ability.

- Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
