Requires text messages soliciting home owners to provide notice when individuals sending solicitations are not licensed by New Jersey Real Estate Commission.
This bill requires individuals who are not licensed by the New Jersey Real Estate Commission to send a specific text message before soliciting homeowners about selling a home. The message must state they are unlicensed, identify their employer, and clarify it is a solicitation. Homeowners receiving unsolicited real estate texts from unlicensed senders will see this mandatory disclosure. Violations carry fines up to $10,000, and the Consumer Affairs Division must create public education materials about licensed real estate professionals.
