Terms, Privacy & SMS Policy
Our policies — written plainly. Last updated January 1, 2025.
Terms of Service
Effective Date: January 1, 2025These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Odyssey RE website located at odysseyre.com (the “Site”) and any related communications, services, or interactions with Odyssey RE (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By accessing or using the Site, or by contacting us through any channel, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Nature of Services
Odyssey RE is a private real estate investment company. We purchase residential real property directly from owners across the United States. The Site is intended to provide information about our company and to facilitate contact between interested property owners and our team.
Nothing on this Site constitutes a binding offer to purchase any specific property. Any offer to purchase will be made separately, in writing, and is subject to standard due diligence and title review.
2. No Real Estate Brokerage
Odyssey RE is not a licensed real estate brokerage and does not represent buyers or sellers in an agency capacity. We act as a principal buyer — we purchase properties for our own account. If you require licensed real estate representation, we encourage you to consult a licensed real estate agent or attorney in your state.
3. No Guarantee of Purchase
Submitting information through this Site or contacting us does not obligate Odyssey RE to make an offer or purchase any property. We evaluate each property individually and may decline to make an offer for any reason.
4. Accuracy of Information
You agree to provide accurate, truthful information about yourself and any property you describe to us. Providing materially false or misleading information may disqualify a transaction and could have legal consequences.
5. Intellectual Property
All content on this Site — including text, design, graphics, and branding — is the property of Odyssey RE and is protected by applicable copyright and trademark law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from Site content without our written permission.
6. Limitation of Liability
The Site is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Odyssey RE shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site or reliance on information presented here.
7. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which the relevant property is located, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction agreed upon by both parties, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
8. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Effective Date” above. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
