Identify the applicable telemarketing regulation

Determine the allowed contact duration for inquiries

For a simple inquiry or application, a real estate professional or business may continue to call the consumer for up to 3 months from the date of the inquiry, even if the consumer's number is on the National Do Not Call Registry.
