Can Realtors call FSBO owners on the Florida Do Not Call List to solicit a listing if they are not on the Federal Do Not Call List?

• A. Yes, as long as they are not on the Federal Do Not Call List
• B. No, never
• C. Yes, regardless of federal list
• D. Only if the FSBO owner requests a call

Answer: (A)

Do Not Call rules create two layers: the federal registry and a state list. The item tests how those layers interact for real estate outreach. The idea is that a Realtor may contact a FSBO owner about a listing when the recipient isn’t on the Federal Do Not Call List, because there’s no federal prohibition blocking that call in that scenario. If the number were on the federal list, the federal rule would block the call, regardless of state status. This is why the stated answer emphasizes the federal list as the deciding factor.

So, the call would be permissible under this framing if the FSBO owner isn’t on the Federal Do Not Call List, whereas it would be barred if they are on that federal list. The other options fail to align with that federal-versus-state interaction and the idea that federal status, not state status alone, governs the permissibility.
