Agents must follow Florida law, brokerage policy, advertising rules, fair housing rules, and broker instructions. If you are unsure, ask before you act — guessing on contracts, disclosures, advertising, or client instructions can create risk for you, the client, and the brokerage.
Text messaging and CRM tools must be used in compliance with TCPA, 10DLC, carrier rules, and brokerage policies. Agents may not upload cold lists or send unsolicited text campaigns.
