What is the general rule regarding the Do-Not-Call List?

The general rule regarding the Do-Not-Call List is that real estate professionals can only make calls to individuals with whom they have an existing business relationship. This means that if a consumer has engaged in previous business dealings with a real estate agent, such as having received services or having expressed interest in their services, then the agent may contact them without violating Do-Not-Call regulations.

This provision is in place to respect consumers' preferences while still allowing real estate professionals to maintain communication with clients who have demonstrated a willingness to engage in business. It's important for agents to keep track of these relationships and ensure they are compliant with the regulations regarding telemarketing.

In contrast, cold calling individuals who have opted into the Do-Not-Call List or have not previously engaged in any business relationship could lead to legal repercussions. Understanding the regulations and adhering to them helps ensure respectful communication practices and compliance with the law.
