Further, all home buyer contact forms that are generated in primary areas on the sites listed above will be forwarded in real time to the email address provided by the advertiser.

If an advertiser would like to secure the courtesy area as a primary area please call 800-880-8584 to be assured of their long term advertising placement. Courtesy areas are not guaranteed to a real estate professional for any specific time unless otherwise stated in writing. All consumer contact forms may be forwarded to third parties in order to ensure the best possible follow up on each consumer contact submitted.

Consumer contact forms are sent electronically to the professionals assigned to that area/s and any default area/s that may be temporarily assigned. All contact forms are sent in real time and are considered exclusive to the lender, agent and any other non-competing professionals in the particular area. In order to ensure the best possible consumer experience, the USHUD.com family of sites may forward buyer contact forms to third parties twenty four hours after they have been forwarded to the exclusive real estate professionals in any given area.

I-gate links are free to all professionals that have an active account with the USHUD.com family of sites. These links allow for the placement of all of the content of our sites on the sites of the professional. The I-Gate was designed so that local real estate professionals have the ability to drive a higher conversion rate from their web site. Each consumer contact form from an I-gate link is considered exclusive to the real estate professional that generated the user.
