Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure

1. Why this page exists

The Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255) require clear disclosure of material connections between a publisher and any business it recommends. This page is that disclosure.

2. Our disclosed commercial relationships

elizabethcharlotte.com is published by Discover Elizabeth. The following firms are affiliated with, or compensate, the publisher, and are discussed, linked to, or offered as an introduction option on this Site:

• Peters & Associates — real estate brokerage services.
• Peters Custom Homes — custom home building and renovation.
• Emerald & Oak — interior design.
• Peters Audio Video — smart home and audio/video integration.

These firms are affiliated with or compensate the publisher of this Site. If you contact one of these firms — including by using an inquiry link on this Site — that firm may pay the publisher a referral fee, commission, or other form of compensation if you become their client. See our full list of related sites on the Our Network page.

3. How outbound links are marked

Outbound links to the firms listed above carry the HTML attribute rel="sponsored nofollow", which tells search engines that the link reflects a compensated or affiliate relationship rather than an ordinary editorial citation.

4. What compensation does not buy

Compensation from an affiliated firm never buys a place in our editorial rankings, "best of" lists, or recommendations, and it never buys the removal, softening, or suppression of accurate information — including information that reflects unfavorably on an affiliated firm. If we would not make a recommendation to a friend, we do not make it here for a fee.

5. How recommendations are chosen

Recommendations and mentions on this Site are based on our own editorial judgment, drawing on publicly available information, direct knowledge of the local market, and reader feedback. Affiliated firms are named where relevant to a topic (for example, custom home building in an article about renovation) because of their genuine relevance to Elizabeth, not merely because of the compensation relationship — but the relationship exists, and this page tells you about it.

6. What happens when you submit an inquiry

If you use a link or button on this Site to request an introduction to one of the firms named above, the information you submit is sent directly to that firm so they can follow up with you. Any relationship that results — brokerage, construction contract, design engagement, or otherwise — is between you and that firm under its own separate agreement; Discover Elizabeth is not a party to it. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle information you submit.

7. Other advertising

This Site may in the future display third-party display advertising or additional affiliate links (for example, to booksellers or local vendors unrelated to real estate). Where that occurs, the same principle applies: compensation does not influence editorial judgment or the accuracy of published information, and any such relationship will be disclosed here or adjacent to the specific placement.
