These Terms apply to all visitors, registered users, property buyers, renters, property owners, brokers, service professionals, and any other person who accesses or uses the Platform.
By registering an account, posting a property, or submitting a lead enquiry, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms.

2. Description of Services
HomesBuyer is an online real estate marketplace that connects property buyers and renters with property owners and brokers primarily across Navi Mumbai — including Ulwe, Nerul, Seawoods, Kamothe, Kharghar, Panvel, Belapur, Vashi, and Airoli.
We are a technology platform and intermediary. We do not act as a real estate agent, broker, legal advisor, or financial advisor. All property transactions are directly between buyers/renters and sellers/owners. HomesBuyer is not a party to any such transaction.
Additional services include: property listing management, lead generation, home services directory, EMI calculator, and property comparison tools.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service at any time with reasonable notice.

Prohibited Content: Fake or duplicate listings; properties not located in the stated area; misleading photos (stock images, other properties); prices significantly below or above market rate without justification; phone numbers or contact details in listing descriptions; RERA-non-compliant claims.
Photo Requirements: Listings without photos may be deprioritised. Photos must be of the actual property. Using photos from other listings is prohibited and may result in account suspension.
Listing Freshness: Listings that have not received leads in 30+ days may be marked as stale. Brokers are encouraged to refresh listings regularly.
Approved listings are indexed on search engines. Removing a listing does not guarantee immediate removal from search engine caches.
5. Lead Contact Policy
Lead Submission: When a buyer submits a lead form, their contact details are shared with the assigned broker or property owner. This is the intended use of the Platform.
Contact Limits: Brokers may contact a lead a maximum of 3 times within 7 days unless the buyer initiates further contact. Harassment or spam calling is strictly prohibited.
DPDP Consent: All lead forms include a DPDP consent checkbox. By submitting a lead, buyers consent to being contacted by the assigned party.
Lead Routing: Leads are assigned based on listing ownership, broker availability, and performance metrics. HomesBuyer reserves the right to reassign leads if a broker is unresponsive.
Spam Protection: We use automated spam scoring to filter fake leads. Leads with a spam score above 80 are blocked. Sequential mobile numbers (e.g., 9876543210) are automatically flagged.
