The "Find Your Place" Service
Hoodle provides a lifestyle-centric marketplace and is not a real estate brokerage, builder, or lender.
Our platform connects home buyers with builders, communities, agents, lenders, and suppliers in a transparent, buyer-first environment.
By using Hoodle, you acknowledge that all transactions are between you and the respective service providers — Hoodle acts solely as a facilitating platform.
The Zero Referral Fee Policy
Agents: Zero referral fees; leads belong 100% to the agent. Hoodle does not charge agents a percentage of any commission earned.
Buyers: Free platform access; no finder's fees. Buyers pay nothing to use Hoodle's search, discovery, or communication tools.
This policy reflects our commitment to keeping the marketplace fair and agent-friendly at every level.
The Hoodle Elite™ Program & "Verified & Trusted" Status
Hoodle grants and may revoke access to the Hoodle Elite™ program at its discretion.
"Verified & Trusted" badges are awarded based on performance metrics, user reviews, and compliance with Hoodle's standards. They do not constitute endorsement.
Elite status is subject to annual review. Hoodle reserves the right to update program criteria without prior notice.
Realtor-First Advocacy Model
Ambassador Lock: Recognizes the Realtor as the buyer's advocate. Once a buyer connects with a Realtor on Hoodle, that relationship is protected.
Direct Messaging: Messaging is monitored; bypassing the Realtor is prohibited. Any attempt to circumvent the designated Realtor relationship may result in account suspension.
This model ensures buyers receive professional representation throughout their home-buying journey.
