Terms of Use
Last updated: August 2026
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of andrewstorms.com (the “Site”) and any content, consultations, connections, communications, or services offered through it. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. Our Disclaimer and Privacy Policy are incorporated into these Terms by reference.
1. Who We Are
The Site is operated by Andrew Storms, together with his affiliated entities and brands (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”). Andrew Storms is a private lifestyle real estate advisor, author, commentator, and connector. For purposes of these Terms, “Andrew Storms Parties” means Andrew Storms together with his affiliated entities, contractors, licensors, and agents, and every disclaimer, release, limitation, and indemnity in these Terms applies for the benefit of each of them.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and able to enter into a binding contract to use the Site. By using the Site, you represent that you meet these requirements.
3. Nature of the Site: Information and Advisory Only
The Site provides general information, guidance, and the personal experience and opinions of Andrew Storms regarding lifestyle real estate, relocation, and second-home ownership. All content is provided strictly for general educational and informational purposes and does not constitute, and must not be relied upon as, real estate brokerage services, legal advice, financial or investment advice, tax advice, an appraisal or valuation, or a substitute for the services of a licensed professional.
4. No Professional Advice
Nothing on the Site constitutes real estate, legal, financial, tax, or investment advice, and we are not acting in any licensed or professional capacity through the Site. Any examples, figures, market references, or frameworks are illustrative only and may not apply to your market, property, or situation.
5. Advisory Role; No Agency, Brokerage, or Fiduciary Relationship
Your use of the Site, and any consultation, questionnaire, or connection provided, does not create any agency, brokerage, fiduciary, or attorney-client relationship between you and any of the Andrew Storms Parties. We are not acting as your real estate agent, broker, attorney, or financial advisor, and we do not provide brokerage services to you. Any real estate transaction is conducted solely between you and the licensed professionals and parties you choose to engage.
6. Consult Licensed Professionals
Before acting on any information, strategy, or connection from the Site, you must consult qualified, licensed professionals in the applicable jurisdiction, including a licensed real estate agent or broker, a licensed attorney, and a licensed financial or tax professional. Real estate laws, practices, and market conditions vary by jurisdiction and change over time.
7. Referral Connections and Compensation
We may introduce or connect you with third-party real estate professionals, advisors, or service providers. These connections are offered on an independent and objective basis, but you should be aware that we may receive a referral fee or other compensation when a connection results in a transaction or engagement. Any such compensation does not increase the price, fee, or cost you pay to the professional. You are under no obligation to work with anyone we suggest, and you remain solely responsible for conducting your own due diligence and vetting before engaging any professional. We do not guarantee the performance, conduct, licensing status, availability, or results of any third party, and we are not a party to, and bear no responsibility for, any relationship or transaction between you and a third-party professional.
8. Independence and Objectivity
While we strive to provide independent and objective guidance free from the pressures of any single brokerage, we are not a neutral or disinterested party where a referral fee may apply. Statements of independence describe our editorial and advisory intent and should be read together with the compensation disclosure in Section 7.
9. Professional Designations and Credentials
Any professional designations referenced in connection with Andrew Storms, including ABR (Accredited Buyer’s Representative), CIPS (Certified International Property Specialist), and RSPS (Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist), reflect education completed in the past. Andrew Storms is no longer a member of the National Association of REALTORS® and does not represent or claim current active membership, certification, or standing in ABR, CIPS, RSPS, or any REALTOR® organization. REALTOR® and all designation names are trademarks of their respective owners.

10. Media, Names, and Third-Party References
Names of media outlets, networks, programs, publications, brokerages, organizations, and brands that appear on the Site are used for identification and descriptive purposes only. Their use does not imply any current partnership, sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or ongoing relationship unless expressly stated.
