if a realtor came to know that property at address 'x' may come in market from some casual gossip/talk, the realtor search on google and find the name and contact number of owner and then texts to owner that I am a real estate agent if you want to sell your house then I can help you in selling your house.

and he got reply back, how you got my name and number , I will sue you for breaching my privacy.

Did anyone directly or indirectly faced or heard such type of situation...Thanks

@Raj G.

I believe legally if somebody in on the FTC D Not Call list there are greater penalties for a Realtor to make that cold call. I stay away from practice so I don’t remember the rules exactly.

But I think as other have alluded, actually being prosecuted for it is pretty unlikely....

Good luck
