Editorial Policy

Last Updated: 7 September 2026

Homes Archives has published celebrity house tours since August 2024. Every article on this site is researched from public information and published under one of two consistent bylines.

This page explains where our information comes from, how we check it, what we will not publish, and how we use technology in our work. If you think we have got something wrong, our corrections process explains how to tell us.

1. Who Writes for Homes Archives

Homes Archives is written and edited by two people, publishing under the bylines Daniel Harper and Michael Carter. Both are pen names, used because the people who run the site prefer not to publish under their own names.

There is no larger editorial team.

The sourcing rules in section 2, the verification in section 3, and the corrections process in section 8 are what keep the work accurate. You can read more about the publication on our About Us page.

2. Where Our Information Comes From

We write about properties using information that is already public. Our sources include:

  • Public property and county records
  • Real estate listings, both current and archived
  • Published reporting in established media outlets
  • Architectural and design publications
  • Official press materials and media kits

We do not conduct interviews, and we do not publish claims drawn from anonymous tips, private information, or unverified social media rumor.

3. How We Verify

No article is published until a writer has checked every factual claim in it against its original source. That includes sale prices, purchase dates, ownership, location, square footage, and architectural details.

Where reputable sources disagree — which happens often with property values — we say so in the article rather than choosing the most striking figure.

Where a claim cannot be verified against a source, it does not go in the article.

4. What We Do Not Publish

Our subjects are real people, and the properties we write about are their homes. We do not publish:

  • Exact street addresses
  • Gate codes, alarm details, or any description of security arrangements
  • Names or details of household staff
  • Photographs obtained by trespass, by drone flights over private property, or by long-lens surveillance
  • Claims about a person’s private life that have no bearing on the property

We describe where a home is at the level of street, neighbourhood or city, and no closer.

There is one exception, and it is narrow: a property the public is invited to visit. Museums, presidential libraries, preserved historic sites and working guest ranches are listed with their full address, because the address is how a reader gets there. A private residence is never identified that way, whether or not it is currently for sale.

This is set out in full in our Disclaimer.

5. Images

Images on Homes Archives come from real estate listings, official press materials, publicly shared photographs, and licensed stock providers.

We use AI tools to improve the technical quality of photographs — sharpening, upscaling, and reducing noise. We do not use these tools to change what a property actually looks like. We do not add, remove, or alter architectural features, rooms, landscaping, or furnishings.

If you hold the copyright to an image on this site and believe it has been used without authorization, contact us at info@homesarchives.com. We respond within 5 business days.

6. How We Use AI

We use AI tools to help gather and organize research, so that an article covers its subject more completely than a single search would allow.

AI does not decide what we publish. Every factual claim produced during research is checked by a writer against its original source before publication, and every article is written and edited by one of the two people who publish this site.

7. Advertising and Independence

Homes Archives is funded by advertising and affiliate links.

  • Advertisers have no involvement in what we cover or in what we say about it.
  • Sponsored and guest-contributed articles are labeled as such, and commercial links within them carry the rel="sponsored" attribute.
  • Affiliate relationships never affect whether a property is covered or how it is described.

8. Updating and Correcting Published Work

Property information changes. Houses are sold again, renovated, or taken off the market. When that happens we add the new information to the article with the date it was added, and leave the original reporting in place.

When an article is wrong, we correct it and we say that we corrected it. Our Corrections Policy explains how we handle corrections and how to report an error to us.
