II. Additional LR Services for Real Estate Professionals
As a Real Estate Professional, you’ll have access to industry leading LR Services and the opportunity to develop relationships among other Real Estate Professionals on the LR Platform.
We hope you create one of these Paired relationships, but it is entirely up to you. If you do so, keep in mind that: (a) no Member is required to Pair with you; (b) you and the Member with whom you are Paired are free to exit any time; (c) Once a Pairing is canceled, that Member is free to create a new Pairing with a different Member; and (d) your use of our Services is in no way contingent on any one Member providing a service, payment, or benefit to you.
You agree to never give or receive anything of value in exchange for the referral of business while using the LR Services in violation of RESPA or Reg X. You agree to be in compliance with all applicable laws and license requirements.
- Paired Relationships
- Pairing & RESPA Compliance. As a Real Estate Professional, when you connect with another Real Estate Professional (“REP,” for short) on the LR Platform, we call this a “Pairing.” REPs are free to initiate or accept an invitation to Pair with another REP, at their own discretion. ListReports does not endorse any particular REP, Pairing, or settlement services provider. REPs are not required to endorse, refer, or recommend any REP or settlement services provider in order to utilize the LR Platform. ListReports does not direct or require any REP to pair with any particular REP or to form any sort of relationship between REPs; it is up to the REPs, at their own discretion, to establish such a relationship which must be limited to REPs promoting their own products and services. REPs should exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to Pair and with whom to Pair. As a REP, you represent and warrant that you will not use the LR Services in a manner that conditions any other REP, or third party, to give or receive any thing of value in exchange for the referral of real estate settlement services, nor will you be a party to a real or implied agreement to do so. You further represent and warrant that any consideration you provide to access and use the LR Platform, including your membership to and use of the LR Platform, is made by you, and no other Member, directly to ListReports. REPs remain solely responsible and liable for their conduct on or through our LR Platform, and for their conduct offline.
- Activity. When Paired, you acknowledge and agree that certain activities on the LR Platform will be shared with your Paired Members (for example, when an Agent utilizes our Shareables product, their paired Lender may be notified of that activity).
- Cancelling the Pairing. Once a Pairing has been established, the REP is free to Unpair at any time. Likewise, once Un-Paired, a REP is free to Pair with another REP at any time. The ability to freely enter into and exit from a Pairing is an essential component of our LR Platform. As a REP, you acknowledge and agree that your access and use of our LR Platform is in no way contingent on any one REP (1) Pairing with you, (2) remaining Paired with you, or (3) providing a service, payment or benefit to you. As a REP, when your LR Account is canceled or otherwise terminated, all Pairings will also be canceled. You agree that ListReports may facilitate the termination and/or creation of Paired relationships between its REPs at its sole and absolute discretion.
- Marketing Collateral. ListReports provides REPs high quality, automated, Marketing Collateral to deploy before, during, and after the home buying process. ListReports’ Marketing Collateral is provided free of charge, unless specifically identified on the LR Platform.
- New & Edited Real Estate Listing Marketing Collateral. Agents have the ability to either (a) automate the creation of certain real estate listing Marketing Collateral by identifying the MLS Listing Number, or (b) create and/or edit Marketing Collateral by manually inputting property listing information. In addition, ListReports may automatically create new Marketing Collateral when we identify that you have listed a new property. In all cases, as an Agent, you represent and warrant that you (i) are the listing agent affiliated with that property or have been granted permission by the listing agent to share and market this property and (ii) have the consent of all applicable parties to access and use the listing details, including listing details and photos, in order to share and market the property, including the applicable MLS and home seller.
- Branding on Marketing Collateral. As part of the LR Services, ListReports allows Members the opportunity to brand ListReports Marketing Collateral with their Public Profile information. By utilizing these LR Services, you acknowledge and agree that ListReports may also include Public Profile information of other REPs, with whom you have Paired, in close proximity to or in tandem with your Public Profile information on our Marketing Collateral.
- Robin. As a collaborative suite of products and services, in most cases, REPs must Pair with one another to access Robin. In addition, in order to access and use Robin, REPs must (1) accept the Robin Acceptable Use Policy; (2) upload and agree to share their consumer lead information with ListReports and their Paired REP; (3) agree to co-branded Marketing Collateral; (4) diligently and professionally respond to Consumer inquiries; and (5) refrain from sharing Consumer loan-related information through the LR Platform.
- Compliance
- No Referrals Permitted. You represent and warrant that you shall not use the LR Platform in order to engage in any activity that would constitute an unlawful “referral of business” as defined by the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (“RESPA”) and Regulation X, and that your use of the LR Platform shall not cause you to either give or receive anything of value in exchange for the referral of business opportunities. Further, you acknowledge and agree that any fee you pay to ListReports (for example, for a paid subscription for the LR Services identified in Section II.1), is limited to the fair market value of the LR Services provided to you and does not represent any payment of a fee, kickback, or other thing of value for the referral of settlement services.

When accessing or using the LR Platform, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing residential real estate sales and financing, including, but not limited to, the Truth in Lending Act, RESPA, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and applicable laws regarding fair lending and equal housing opportunity.

Further, if required by applicable law to be licensed as a “mortgage originator,” or real estate agent or broker, or title/escrow agent or broker, then you represent and warrant that you have such valid licensure and that you will maintain your license(s) and otherwise be in good standing during the Term of this Agreement. In addition, you agree that ListReports may, at its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by law, access, preserve, and disclose your Member Content, Public Profile, usage history, and the use of our Marketing Collateral in order to (a) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or government request; (b) respond to claims that any such usage violates applicable legal guidelines or the rights of third parties; and (c) enforce this Agreement.
