Overview
This bill requires anyone using text messages to solicit home sales to inform homeowners if they are not licensed by the New Jersey Real Estate Commission. Specifically, individuals sending these texts must include a notice stating they are not a licensee, the employer they work for, and that the message is a solicitation. Violators could face penalties of up to $10,000. The bill also directs the Division of Consumer Affairs to create public awareness campaigns to educate both licensed agents and homeowners about these new requirements.
