A 489 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Includes certain canvassing and solicitation activities as violation of consumer fraud act.

This bill (A489) makes it illegal for unlicensed individuals to conduct door-to-door or digital outreach about buying or selling real estate, classifying such activities as consumer fraud under New Jersey's law. It directly affects unlicensed solicitors (e.g., non-brokers, non-salespeople) who approach homeowners to offer real estate services or transactions. The law requires anyone engaging in these activities to hold a valid New Jersey real estate license, with violations punishable by fines up to $20,000 per offense and potential court orders. Local governments retain authority to impose stricter rules on canvassing or solicitation through their own ordinances.
