This video is for PA real estate agents who prospect by phone or text and want a game plan that still works. Book a coaching call: calendly.com/billkellykw What you'll learn: The new PA Do Not Call rules for real estate agents: texts count as calls, 9am to 7pm only, no Sundays or legal holidays. Fines under the PA consumer protection law: up to $1,000 per call, $3,000 if the person is over 60. Why social media DMs don't fall under the Do Not Call rules, and how to post daily with a call to action. Why an open house sign-in isn't permission to call, and how to set the appointment in person. How dual-career agents can use Sundays now, plus the 555 and working your sphere. Real estate cold calling tips for expireds and FSBOs: scrub against the do not call registry first. Quick Answers: Q: Can realtors call numbers on the do not call list? A: Not for marketing unless an exception applies. Scrub every list against both the federal do not call registry and the PA list before cold calling real estate leads. Q: Can real estate agents text leads in Pennsylvania? A: Marketing texts now follow the same rules as calls: 9am to 7pm, never on Sundays or legal holidays. Q: Is cold calling real estate still legal in PA? A: Yes, but only inside the allowed hours, to numbers not on a Do Not Call list, and without autodialers or drip texts unless you have written consent. Q: Does an open house sign-in give me permission to call? A: No. A sign-in alone doesn't guarantee you're allowed to call, so set the appointment in person at the open house.
