Much of the general information on the WFP web site can be accessed without needing to register or log in, and we therefore collect no information about you whatsoever when you are accessing these generic areas of our web site. You may access our property search system providing access to many properties for sale in DC, MD and VA. No personal information is required to search for homes and view detailed information about those homes for sale.

When you create a WFP account, ONLY your name and e-mail address are required. Any additional information you provide is used solely to provide information or services directly to you and is not used by WFP for any other purpose.
When you create an account on wfp.com, you have the option to associate yourself with a licensed WFP sales associate. When you select an associate, that associate will be notified that you have done so, and will be provided with your contact information so that he/she may contact you for follow-up. The agent may also access details about your property search criteria and lists of specific properties you have viewed through the WFP web site. In selecting an associate you agree that your use of the WFP web site does not, in and of itself, create an agency relationship between you and the sales associate, or with Washington Fine Properties, LLC. However, further interactions between you and the sales associate (including contacts via e-mail, phone or in person) may result in establishing an agency relationship under the laws of your state, or the state where the agent is located.
