3 Ways to Opt-Out from Unsolicited Calls

 

2023 housing market has been challenging to say the least with shortage of home supply and growing buyers demands while interest rates are staying higher. This makes it difficult for home buyers for the home they desire and compete in the market with cash investors.

 

Moreover, we have noticed increasing unethical marketing practices and that has been a problem for many of us who value our privacy. Did you know that your private information can be sold to lenders without your knowledge? It’s called a trigger lead. So, who is selling your information? Believe it or not, it comes directly from the major credit bureaus. Since they monitor your credit report, if you have a credit inquiry, they sell your information for a couple of dollars to anyone willing to pay for it. Trigger leads can even be purchased based solely on your credit profile, so a credit inquiry is not always needed.

 

Here are three ways to stop your information to be sold to the third party.

 

  1. Sign up for Do Not Call Registry donotcall.gov (National Do Not Call Registry)
