Agents calling me to list my house!!!

First let me say I am on the "Do Not Call List". Today I am working on research and the phone rings. Lo and behold it is an agent, rom a well know company, letting me know that a house in my neighborhood sold. So I listened to her spiel. Finally she asked me if I had thought of listing my house?

Now am I correct? Is that a sales call? So I told her who I am and I am on the "Do Not Call List". She stammered around and I ended the call. No way am I going to turn her in. Mistakes happen.

However, not 30 minutes later I answer my cell and it is a pre-recorded message of two homes for sale. I cut the call. I really am not happy when they call my cell phone.

I have been getting more calls as of late and I know my 5 years are not up. Are agents getting so desperate that they would cross the line and risk suit?

Why waste your time and the callers listening to their spiel? Didn't it take all of 3 seconds to figure out what the call was about? October 30, 2007 1:23 PM

Yes on the 13th Nov I did it only one other time and there were people holding up signs against building an automotive repair center! The outcome was ! it got passed and built and now there are major car dealerships and a whole slew of business there.... October 31, 2007 4:21 AM

Remember the agent that called you, technically wasnt selling anything and the DNC list is very specific that we must be selling something to get nailed. Anyway,,, you would be amazed at how many appointments and eventual listings I have taken by calling around homes that just sold.
