Compliance

Every state file starts from that state's real estate licensing records, which say who is licensed, what kind of license they hold and which brokerage they work under. We add business contact details from brokerage and agent websites that allow it, from email addresses inferred from a brokerage's known address pattern, and from licensed data suppliers. Each email is checked by 2 independent verification services before an edition is published, and each row carries its source and the date it was last checked. We do not use consumer listing portals or any site that blocks or forbids collection. State-by-state detail is on our sources pages.

The CAN-SPAM Act applies to every commercial email, including email to businesses; there is no B2B exemption. It does not require prior consent, but it does require honest headers and subject lines, your physical postal address, a clear way to opt out, and that you honor opt-outs within 10 business days. Penalties are per email, so one careless campaign is expensive. Our guide to CAN-SPAM for B2B lists walks through each rule, and the free compliance checker checks a draft against the basics.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act limits autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to mobile numbers without prior consent, and allows damages per call or text. Many agents publish a mobile number as their business line, which makes it a business contact but does not remove TCPA limits on automated calling. Dial by hand, or get consent first. Texts count as calls.

Agents can register mobile numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry. Telemarketers must scrub against the registry at least every 31 days and keep an internal do-not-call list. Some sellers rely on an exemption for business-to-business calls, but it is narrow and does not cover every product, so scrub every list before you call.

Many states add their own telemarketing rules: registration for telemarketers, tighter calling hours, state do-not-call lists, and stricter consent for texts (Florida and Oklahoma have their own versions of the TCPA). Some states also limit what their licensing boards release or how it may be used. Where a state forbids using its licensee list for solicitation, we do not use that list as a marketing source.

California's privacy law gives residents the right to know, delete and opt out of the sale of their information, and its Delete Act requires data brokers to register and accept deletion requests through a state platform. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also require data broker registration. We register where required before selling data about that state's residents, and we honor deletion and opt-out requests from every state. Details are in our privacy policy.

Any agent can ask to be left out with our removal form. We confirm by email, add them to a suppression list, and every future edition is checked against it before release. Customers on monthly updates receive editions without them. Our terms also require every customer to keep their own suppression list.

We publish where every state's data comes from, we record a source on every row, we verify emails before release, we honor every opt-out on every build, and we do not sell to buyers who tell us they intend to break these rules.
