Advertising & Sponsorship Disclosure

1. The featured service businesses

The four principal service businesses featured throughout this guide are:

• Peters Custom Homes — Custom builder & historic renovation.
• Peters & Associates — Real estate advisory.
• Emerald & Oak — Interior design.
• Peters Audio Video — Smart home & AV integration.

2. Disclosing the relationship

The Federal Trade Commission requires clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections between a publisher and businesses it features. In line with that guidance:

• Featured business sections identify the publishers' family of businesses.
• Commercial business links use sponsorship link attributes to distinguish them from public-agency references.
• This disclosure page is linked from the footer of every page on the site.

3. How the businesses appear

• Editorial profiles and service descriptions with direct website links.
• Inclusion on our Trusted Local Resources page.
• Direct contact through the businesses' own websites. This guide has no contact form.

4. What a mention does not establish

• A guarantee of project outcomes, prices, availability or suitability.
• Official authority over zoning, historic district rules, school assignment or parcel data.
• A substitute for checking licenses, insurance, references and contracts directly.
• Affiliation with the restaurants or public agencies described elsewhere in this guide.

5. Neighborhood information

The overwhelming majority of this site — history, architecture, neighborhood comparisons, schools, restaurants, things to do — is general editorial information from a commercially connected publisher, not an official agency publication. See our How We Research page for our full editorial standards.

6. Questions or concerns

If you believe a page on this site blurs the line between sponsored content and editorial coverage, tell us through our Contact page and we'll review it.
