Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect when you contact us about your property, where it comes from, how we use it, and who we share it with.

Effective August 26, 2026 · Last updated August 26, 2026

Avivo Homes (“we,” “our,” or “us”) buys residential real property directly from owners. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit avivo.homes, submit a property to us, communicate with us, or complete a transaction with us.

We are a principal buyer purchasing property for our own account. We are not a real estate brokerage and we do not represent you. See our Terms & Conditions for more on that relationship.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

We may collect information you voluntarily give us when you:

  • Submit a property through a form on our website
  • Call, text, email, or message us
  • Respond to a letter, postcard, or advertisement
  • Request an offer or a walkthrough
  • Enter into a purchase agreement with us

This information may include:

  • Name and contact information (phone, email, mailing address)
  • The address of the property and your relationship to it
  • Whether you own the property outright, jointly, or through an entity, trust, or estate
  • Occupancy status and the presence of tenants
  • Property condition, repair history, and known defects
  • Mortgage balances, liens, judgments, back taxes, and payoff amounts
  • Your reason for selling and your desired timeline
  • Photographs, video, and documents you send us

Information We Obtain From Public Records and Third Parties

Because we identify and evaluate properties before you ever contact us, we also collect information from sources other than you. These include:

  • County appraisal district records, deed records, and tax rolls
  • Recorded liens, notices of default, foreclosure postings, and probate filings
  • Municipal code enforcement and permit records
  • Multiple listing service data and property data aggregators
  • Skip-tracing, contact-append, and marketing list vendors
  • Title companies, abstractors, and title search reports
  • Referrals from agents, wholesalers, contractors, neighbors, and other third parties

If you would like to know how we obtained your information, contact us and we will tell you what we can.

Transaction and Closing Information

If we move toward closing, we or the title company may collect additional information required to complete the sale, including government-issued identification, your Social Security number or taxpayer identification number for IRS Form 1099-S reporting, entity formation and authority documents, heirship or probate documentation, wiring instructions, and payoff statements. This information is collected and handled for the purpose of completing the transaction and meeting legal reporting obligations.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect:

  • IP address and approximate location
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system and device information
  • Pages visited, time on page, and click behavior
  • Referring website, search terms, and campaign or ad identifiers

Call Recording

We may record or monitor telephone calls for quality, training, accuracy, and record-keeping purposes. Where required, we will notify you at the start of the call. If you do not want a call recorded, tell us and we will stop the recording or continue by another method.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Evaluate whether we want to purchase a property and on what terms
  • Prepare, present, and revise offers
  • Conduct due diligence, including title review, inspection, and repair estimating
  • Communicate with you about your property and about a pending or potential transaction
  • Complete a transaction, including coordinating with title, escrow, lenders, and attorneys
  • Send marketing and follow-up communications, where permitted and with consent where required
  • Maintain records of properties we have evaluated, including properties we did not buy
  • Improve our website, our marketing, and our acquisition process
  • Detect and prevent fraud, including wire fraud and identity fraud
  • Comply with legal, tax, and recording obligations

Text Message (SMS) Communications

If you provide us a mobile number and consent to text messages, we may send you messages about your property, an offer, a pending transaction, or scheduling. If you separately consent to marketing messages, we may send those as well.

  • Consent is not a condition of any purchase. You do not have to agree to receive text messages in order for us to buy your property or make you an offer.
  • Message frequency varies based on your transaction and your responses.
  • Message and data rates may apply. Check with your mobile carrier.
  • To stop: reply STOP to any message. You will receive one confirmation and no further messages from that program.
  • For help: reply HELP or contact us using the information below.
  • Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes.

Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third party except subcontractors and vendors that help us operate our messaging platform, and those vendors may not use the information for any other purpose.

Telephone Calls

We may call you at a number you provide to us or that we obtain from public records or a data vendor, subject to applicable law. If you ask us not to call you again, we will add you to our internal do-not-call list and honor that request. We also maintain procedures for honoring the National Do Not Call Registry where it applies.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information to unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers. Vendors that help us run our business, including CRM and marketing platforms, phone and text messaging providers, email providers, hosting, analytics, e-signature services, and data and skip-tracing vendors.
  • Transaction parties. Title companies, escrow agents, closing attorneys, surveyors, inspectors, appraisers, and lenders involved in a transaction with you.
  • Capital partners and assignees. Investors, lenders, joint venture partners, affiliated entities, and any party to whom we assign a purchase contract. If we assign a contract on your property, the assignee will receive the information necessary to close, including the contract itself and property information you provided.
  • Contractors and vendors. Contractors and trades who need property information to prepare estimates or perform work.
  • Professional advisors. Attorneys, accountants, auditors, and insurers.
  • Legal and safety. When required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of any person.
  • Business transfers. In connection with a merger, financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction.

Publicly recorded documents. Deeds, affidavits, releases, and other instruments recorded in connection with a real estate transaction become part of the public record and are permanently available to the public. We cannot remove or restrict access to recorded documents.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, measure performance, and deliver and measure advertising. This may include tools such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Meta Pixel, which allow those companies to collect information about your visit and may allow us to show you ads on other sites.

You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent, though some parts of the site may not work correctly if you do. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, and you can manage interest-based advertising preferences through the tools offered by the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative.

We currently do not respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Wire fraud warning. We and our title partners will never send you wiring instructions by unsecured email or change wiring instructions by email or text at the last minute. Before sending any funds, call the title company at a number you independently verified. Do not rely on contact information contained in an email.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep transaction records for as long as necessary to complete the transaction and to satisfy legal, tax, accounting, and title-related obligations, which for real estate transactions is generally a period of years. We may keep property and contact records for properties we did not purchase so that we can maintain accurate records of prior contact and honor your communication preferences. We keep opt-out and do-not-contact records indefinitely so that we can continue to honor them.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Confirm whether we process your personal information and access that information
  • Correct inaccuracies in your personal information
  • Request deletion of personal information you provided or we obtained about you
  • Obtain a portable copy of your personal information
  • Opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and certain profiling
  • Opt out of marketing communications at any time
