Terms of use

Terms of use, kept short.

Using this site means accepting the terms below. They are short because the site does very little: it explains options, and it lets you send a message.

What this site is

Information, not advice

Nexus Home Partners is the business of Chris Fontenot, a Louisiana Licensed REALTOR®, license number 995720550, sponsored by Real Broker, LLC of Lafayette, Louisiana.

The pages here explain how buying, selling and owning property generally work in Acadiana. They describe common situations. They are not advice about your situation, and reading them does not create any professional relationship between you and Chris Fontenot or Real Broker, LLC.

Nothing here is legal advice

Successions, usufruct, forced heirship, partitions, evictions, foreclosure and insurance disputes are all described on this site in general terms. Louisiana law is its own system and the answer for your property depends on facts a website cannot know. Talk to a Louisiana attorney.

Nothing here is tax or insurance advice

Capital gains, depreciation recapture, exchanges, homestead exemption, policy language and claim deadlines are described generally. Talk to a CPA about tax and to a licensed adjuster or attorney about a claim.

Nothing here is an offer

No number, range or example on this site is an offer to buy or an opinion of value for a specific property. The worked example on the comparison page is an illustration with its assumptions stated on the page. A real offer is made in writing, on a specific property, after it has been seen.

Accuracy and change

Written carefully, and still not guaranteed

Everything here is written to be accurate at the time it was published. Programs open and close, flood maps are revised, insurance rules change, and statutes are amended. Where something has a shelf life this site says so and tells you to check, and that instruction is not decoration.

Where a figure could not be verified it has been left out rather than estimated. There are no review counts, star ratings, sold counts or years-in-business claims on this site, because none have been substantiated.

Links to other organizations are provided because they are useful. Their content is theirs and is not endorsed or controlled here.

Using the site

The short list

  • Do not use the forms to send unsolicited commercial messages or anything unlawful.
  • Do not attempt to interfere with the site, its forms, or the server it runs on.
  • Do not scrape or republish the writing here without permission. It was written for this site.
  • The Nexus Home Partners name and mark belong to the business. REALTOR® is a registered collective membership mark of the National Association of REALTORS®.

Nexus Home Partners supports the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Opportunity Act. Every property discussed on this site is offered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin.

Questions about these terms

Ask before you rely on any of it

If something on this site matters to a decision you are about to make, ask about your specific situation rather than relying on the general version.

Limits worth stating

What this site does not do

It does not create a relationship

Reading these pages, sending a message through a form, or having a first conversation does not create an agency relationship, a client relationship, or any duty owed to you. In Louisiana, agency in a real estate transaction arises from a written agreement. Until one is signed, nobody on this site represents you.

It does not value your property

No figure, range, worked example or table on this site is an opinion of value for a specific property. The comparison page uses an illustration with its assumptions printed on the page precisely so it cannot be mistaken for one. A real opinion of value is prepared for one address after somebody has stood in it.

It does not guarantee an outcome

Nothing here promises that a property will sell, that it will sell within a period, or that it will sell at a price. Market conditions, condition of the property, title, financing and the decisions of third parties all bear on the outcome and none of them are controlled here.

Availability

The site is provided as it is. It is maintained carefully and it may still be unavailable, incomplete or out of date at any given moment. Where something has a shelf life, such as a grant program or a flood map, the page says so and tells you to check the source. That instruction is part of the content rather than a disclaimer around it.

Changes

These terms may be updated. The version on this page is the one in force. A material change to what is collected, how it is used, or what is promised will be described rather than slipped in.
