Had a realtor tell me I couldn't legally ask....

[David T.]

I got response the other day from a letter sent out through my direct marketing campaign. The caller calls and explains he received one of my letters and wanted to know what I could offer him for his property. I was not at my office so I didn't have his property information handy. I explained this to him and pulled my ipad out to take information from him to so I can call him back with a price follow up. I get his address, name, and number and ask what he would like to sell it for? I then ask if he owes anything on it and if so is he current with payments. He goes onto tell me he is a licensed realtor and I cannot legally ask these kind of questions. Then went onto say he has my letter and is going to report me.

I just thought it was weird. He called me asking me what he could get for his property. He obiously wasn't a motivated seller. I just wanted to share. I am not under the impressions its illegal in Texas to ask questions from someone that calls you.

I don't think he knows what he's talking about, as long as you are the buyer of course you're allowed to ask what he is willing to sell it for.
