Privacy Policy

EFFECTIVE DATE: AUGUST 24, 2026

 

This Privacy Policy explains how Realty Offers Now (“Realty Offers Now,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit AuctionNow.bid, create an account, request information, submit a property inquiry, register for an auction, make an offer, place a bid, or otherwise use our services. Realty Offers Now is the consumer-facing real estate brand. AuctionNow.bid currently provides website and online-bidding technology.

 

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

 

We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, account credentials, property interests, property information, showing requests, offers, bids, proof-of-funds information, communications, and transaction-related information. We may also collect device, browser, IP address, cookie, usage, referral, and website-interaction information automatically.

 

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

 

We use information to operate the website; create and secure accounts; respond to inquiries; market properties; schedule showings; administer offers, bidder registration, and online auctions; deliver documents and notices; communicate about properties and services; detect fraud or misuse; comply with legal and brokerage obligations; improve our services; and send marketing communications when permitted by law and your choices.

 

EMAIL, TELEPHONE, AND TEXT COMMUNICATIONS

 

If you voluntarily provide an email address or telephone number and agree to receive communications, you authorize Realty Offers Now, Nick Pinotti, applicable real estate brokerage professionals, and service providers acting on our behalf to contact you about your account, inquiries, properties, transactions, and related real estate services by email, telephone call, SMS, or MMS. Where required, this includes communications sent using automated technology or an artificial or prerecorded voice.

 

Consent to marketing calls or texts is not a condition of purchasing property, goods, or services. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT, or REVOKE to a text message to request that covered text messages stop. Reply HELP for help. You may also withdraw consent through any reasonable method that clearly communicates your request. Marketing-email recipients may use the unsubscribe link in the email. We process valid opt-out requests within the time required by applicable law.

 

SHARING OF INFORMATION

 

We may disclose information to website, hosting, communications, analytics, security, payment, document, auction, and transaction service providers; property sellers and their representatives; real estate brokers and agents involved in a requested transaction; title, escrow, inspection, legal, financial, or closing professionals when directed or reasonably necessary; government authorities when legally required; and a successor in a merger, sale, or reorganization. We do not sell or share mobile numbers or SMS opt-in consent with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing. Providers that help deliver our messaging program may process that information only to provide services for us.

 

COOKIES AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

 

We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website functioning, remember preferences, understand traffic, improve performance, and support security. The website may link to third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for their independent practices.

 

SECURITY AND RETENTION

 

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, to maintain transaction and brokerage records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with law.

 

YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS

 

You may request access to or correction of information you provided, update account information, unsubscribe from marketing email, or revoke marketing-call and text consent. Some account, security, legal, property, auction, or transaction communications may still be sent when permitted by law or necessary to provide a service you requested. Applicable state law may provide additional privacy rights.

 

CHILDREN

 

The website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. Auction participation and binding real estate transactions are limited to persons legally able to contract and subject to property-specific requirements.

 

CHANGES AND CONTACT

 

We may update this Policy from time to time. The effective date above identifies the current version. Questions or privacy requests may be directed to Nick Pinotti at nick@AuctionNow.bid or (734) 707-1007.
