This is Part II (kind of) of Don’t make me call you…

ok, I admit it is just because the titles work well together… Don’t make me call you… but I can.  Anyway, here is the actual content.

If you list your home for sale, and it expires without selling or is withdrawn, you have consented to allow other agents to call you.  Even if you are on the “Do Not Call” list.  Here is the contract language:

Seller acknowledges that by virtue of listing the Property in MLS(s), all MLS(s) members and their affiliated licensees, will have access to Seller’s listing information for the purpose of assisting Seller in the sale of the Property. If Seller is on a “Do Not Call List,” Seller expressly consents to any of the above parties calling Seller for any purpose related to the sale of the Property. Seller further acknowledges and agrees that no MLS(s) member or any affiliated licensee of the MLS(s) member shall have any liability for calling the Seller after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Such calls are hereby expressly consented to by Seller. This paragraph shall survive past the term of this Agreement.

And don’t think you can strike that language from your listing agreement… if you do, your property can’t be listed on the MLS.

Don’t freak out yet.  Most agents have no idea what is in the contract.  They are scared to death to call people because of the do not call list.  I know that I can… I just don’t like it.

Final thought… there is a way to avoid the calls after the listing expires… it’s really easy, too.  Get it sold.  If the property sells, you won’t get calls for 1,483 agents looking to list it for you.  Give me a few days, and I’ll show you a seriously cool website for a property.
