Terms of Service
The short version: this site is informational, its guidance is general, and your specific situation deserves a real conversation.
Effective date: July 2026 · Contact: george@theoperativegroup.com · 541-870-8378
Acceptance of these terms
By using this website, you agree to these terms. The site is operated by George Winters, a real estate licensee with The Operative Group, brokered by Real Broker, LLC (Oregon Lic# 201251081). If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the site.
Informational purpose — not professional advice
Everything on this site — area guides, field guides, FAQs, and commentary — is general information about the McKenzie River Valley and rural real estate practices. It is not legal, financial, tax, insurance, engineering, or survey advice, and it is not advice about any specific property or transaction.
Regulations, programs, market conditions, and property facts change. Content is written in good faith and may become outdated; always verify current details with the relevant authority (county planning, FEMA, lenders, the State of Oregon) and consult qualified professionals for your situation. Nothing here creates an agency relationship — that is formed only through a written agreement.
No guarantees
Real estate outcomes depend on facts we cannot know from a website: your property, your finances, the market on the day. No content here promises results, values, appreciation, program eligibility, or transaction outcomes.
Intellectual property
Site text and design are the property of the site operator. Landscape photography is used under Creative Commons and public-domain licenses with attribution on the photo credits page; those images remain subject to their original licenses. You may link to and quote briefly from this site with attribution; wholesale reproduction requires permission.
Third-party links
The site links to outside resources (booking, government references, and others). Those sites have their own terms and policies, and no endorsement of their content is implied.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site operator is not liable for damages arising from use of this site or reliance on its general information. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the site is to stop using it — though we would rather you just call and tell us what is wrong.
Changes
These terms may be updated from time to time; the effective date above reflects the current version. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
