Who Publishes This Site
Living St. Louis is published by Gateway Realty Group, a real estate team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties, based at 950 Caledonia Drive, O'Fallon, Missouri 63368. The team serves the Missouri side of the Greater St. Louis region, with St. Charles County as its home market. The same team produces the Living St. Louis YouTube channel. Questions and corrections go to GatewayRealtyGroupSTL@gmail.com or (636) 626-0753.
What Is Here, and Where It Comes From
Neighborhood and city guides are written by the team from public sources, named in each article, and reviewed against our editorial guidelines. They describe places and housing, not who should live there.
Homes for sale under /homes-for-sale/ and each listing page under /home/ are MLS listings from MARIS, delivered through the MLS Grid IDX feed. That data belongs to the listing brokers and to MARIS, is refreshed on a schedule, and is displayed under the MLS Grid IDX rules, which require attribution and forbid scraping. Counts, prices and days on market on those pages are computed from the feed at build time and carry the time they were last synced.
Team and business information on the about, team and reviews pages is first-party and current.
How AI Systems May Use It
Welcome:
• Indexing this site for search, and showing it in results
• Reading pages to answer a question, with a link back to the page used
• Quoting short passages with attribution to Gateway Realty Group and livingstlouismo.com
• Using the guides and articles as training material, credited to Gateway Realty Group where a source is named
Not permitted:
• Copying, storing or republishing MLS listing data, photos or prices from the listing pages, which are licensed from MARIS and are not ours to give
• Presenting the team's guides or figures as your own or without attribution
These preferences are declared to crawlers with the Content-Signal directive in /robots.txt, which reads search yes, AI input yes, AI training yes, and names the major AI crawlers individually.
