Real Estate Professionals Face Legal Shifts

TCPA Compliance Shift – Florida real estate firms must navigate new uncertainty under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) for telemarketing calls, texts and robocalls. FCC regulations require businesses obtain prior written express consent for autodialed or prerecorded communications, immediately honor stop requests and scrub calling lists against the National and Florida Do-Not-Call registries as well as the Reassigned Numbers Database. Violations can carry fines of $500 to $1,500 per call or message, making careful compliance essential.
