According to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, how can a real estate licensee comply with the Do-Not-Call registry?

Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, the correct approach for a real estate licensee to comply with the Do-Not-Call registry is tied to the concept of "established business relationships." If a licensee has an established relationship with a person, they may legally contact that individual even if their name is listed on the Do-Not-Call registry. This means that if a real estate licensee has previously had a transaction with a person, or has engaged in discussions regarding services, they can reach out to them despite their registry status.

The concept of "established relationship" is crucial, as it allows for some exemptions where prior consent or interaction has made the communication acceptable. This emphasizes the importance of maintaining professional relationships and records of previous contacts.

The other options present misunderstandings of the regulations: identifying license status within a short time frame is not a requirement of compliance; calling FSBOs (For Sale By Owners) isn't an unrestricted practice since it still depends on their status in the registry; and contacting expired listings is also subject to similar regulations and cannot be done freely if those individuals have opted out. Understanding these nuances helps to ensure compliance with both the law and ethical standards in real estate practices.
