Connect that record to the named seller, authorized phone number, and approved call or text purpose. Have an attorney determine the consent required before a builder implements the form. The FCC's written-consent definition requires a signed agreement authorizing the seller's specified telemarketing technology at the designated number. It also requires clear disclosure that signing is not a purchase condition. [47 CFR § 64.1200(f)(9), eCFR text displayed through 2026.10.08; checked 2026.10.13](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-64/subpart-L/section-64.1200#p-64.1200(f)(9)). This article is general information, not legal advice. Applicability depends on the business and state. Confirm your obligations and form wording with an attorney. Scale With Search provides website work and does not give legal advice. The worksheet and acceptance checks below are recommendations. They describe evidence to arrange, not an approved legal form or findings about your website. ## Define the contact before choosing the form wording List the buyer and seller inquiry routes you use: a property question, showing request, buyer consultation, or seller valuation request. For each, describe the intended reply and any later marketing separately. Identify who contacts the visitor, on whose behalf, through which channel, and using which technology. Ask the calling or texting provider for the actual account configuration. Give that documentation and proposed message content to counsel. Under § 64.1200(a)(2), covered telemarketing calls using an automatic telephone dialing system or artificial or prerecorded voice generally require prior express written consent. Section (a)(3) addresses artificial or prerecorded telemarketing calls to residential lines. These written-consent amendments took effect 2013.10.16. [Current regulation, displayed through 2026.10.08](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-64/subpart-L/section-64.1200#p-64.1200(a)(2)); [FCC effective-date notice, published 2012.10.16](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-10-16/pdf/FR-2012-10-16.pdf). [FCC effective-date notice, published 2012.10.16, checked 2026.10.14](). [47 CFR 64.1200(a)(2)–(3), official 2025.10.01 edition](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CFR-2025-title47-vol3/pdf/CFR-2025-title47-vol3-sec64-1200.pdf), checked 2026.10.14. Do not classify the setup from a vendor's marketing label. Request technical details and a legal assessment for the intended calls or texts. Ask counsel to review do-not-call and state requirements separately. The FCC regulation contains separate telephone-solicitation rules in paragraphs (c) through (e). [47 CFR § 64.1200, displayed through 2026.10.08; checked 2026.10.13](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-64/subpart-L/section-64.1200#p-64.1200(c)). Use this proposed worksheet before drafting disclosures: | Website inquiry | Proposed contact to review | Evidence question | | --- | --- | --- | | Buyer asks about a listing | Reply concerning the identified property | What request and reply preference did the visitor submit? | | Buyer requests a showing | Contact to arrange the requested showing | Which person or business was presented as the contact? | | Seller requests a valuation conversation | Reply about that seller's request | What scope appeared beside the phone field and submission control? | | Either visitor chooses later marketing | The specific proposed marketing calls or texts | Which approved agreement and signature action authorize that separate use? | Keep the visitor's request attached to the record. Do not convert a reply preference into an unsupported marketing authorization. - [SMS marketing for realtors: connect each campaign to your website](/articles/sms-marketing-for-realtors) ## Specify the disclosure and signature together Give the builder counsel-approved wording for the named seller, authorized number, contact purpose, relevant technology, and purchase-condition disclosure. Require counsel to resolve whether the agent, team, brokerage, or another entity belongs in the agreement. The FCC's 2012.02.15 order explains that the seller bears the burden of demonstrating clear disclosure and unambiguous consent. It accepts consent obtained in accordance with the E-SIGN Act, including through website forms. [FCC 12-21, paragraphs 33–34; checked 2026.10.13](https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-12-21A1.txt). Ask counsel to approve the exact electronic signature process. Specify the control label, associated agreement, action recorded, and evidence connecting that action to the submission. Do not accept a database field labeled “consent” as the entire specification. As a design recommendation, present the approved disclosure beside the relevant control. Start an optional marketing choice unchecked. Keep a usable inquiry route for visitors who decline that choice. Have counsel approve the relationship between the request, agreement, and submission button. For template review, check the rule version. FCC order DA 25-621, released 2025.07.14, restored the earlier definition after the court vacated the revised one-to-one provision. The codified amendment took effect 2025.08.29. [FCC order, paragraph 2 and appendix](https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-25-621A1.txt); [Federal Register, 90 FR 42137–42138](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-08-29/pdf/FR-2025-08-29.pdf). [FCC order, paragraph 2 and appendix, checked 2026.10.14](). [Federal Register, 90 FR 42137–42138, checked 2026.10.14](). Still name the intended seller in your evidence specification. Have counsel evaluate your actual agreement rather than adopting an old template's legal conclusions. ## Preserve a packet for each submission Require the builder to show how a saved submission connects to the approved disclosure version. Use this proposed evidence specification. It is not a statutory list of required database fields. | Record | Material to preserve | | --- | --- | | Visitor request | Submitted question, relevant property or seller page, and chosen reply method | | Agreement identity | Exact disclosure text, version identifier, approval date, and named seller | | Displayed form | Archived page or form markup plus screenshots of the disclosure and controls | | Signature event | Agreed signature action, recorded control state, and linked agreement | | Authorized contact | Number as entered, separately stored normalized number, approved channel and purpose | | Event timing | Submission and signature timestamps with the time zone identified | | Source | Page URL, form identifier, and embedded provider where present | | Record history | Original record, subsequent changes, and the person or process responsible | | Delivery connection | Identifier linking the form record to the receiving inquiry record | Archive desktop and phone layouts for each approved version. Treat screenshots as supporting display evidence. Preserve the individual submission separately so the reviewer can inspect its recorded action. Ask counsel and the provider whether IP addresses or other technical identifiers are appropriate to collect. Specify privacy treatment, access, and retention before adding them. Do not collect extra identifying data merely to make the packet look stronger. ## Keep the evidence intact through IDX and CRM handoff If listing search uses an outside form, inventory its actual disclosure and submission destination. Request a sample export from that provider. Compare it with your approved specification before accepting the integration. Ask the receiver to retain the original permission fields and disclosure reference. Keep the form event time separate from the CRM import time. Require evidence of later edits rather than silently replacing the original agreement reference. As a worked design example, a buyer may ask a property question while declining optional marketing. Specify an expected result that delivers the question and records the declined choice. Require the receiving record to retain those separate facts. For a seller valuation form, specify the page, requested conversation, named contact, and approved agreement version. If a workflow cannot produce that packet, record the missing fields and responsible owner. Keep legal adequacy unresolved until counsel reviews the evidence. - [Data retention policy: set a schedule for your website inquiries](/articles/website-lead-retention-schedule-agent) ## Test evidence retrieval before accepting the website Use synthetic inquiries and contact details you control. Arrange the test with the intended recipient. These are future acceptance checks, not completed tests or permission to send a live campaign. | Check | Evidence to require | | --- | --- | | Marketing declined | Inquiry receipt and an unchanged declined marketing choice | | Approved signature action completed | Stored action, agreement version, number, purpose, and matching inquiry identifier | | Phone layout | Readable disclosure and usable controls in the tested layout | | Form wording revised | Earlier submissions retain the earlier text; new submissions reference the approved revision | | Outside form used | Provider export includes the agreed evidence or names each missing field | | CRM record exported | The packet can be retrieved without relying on a dashboard label | | Record amended | Original evidence remains available beside the dated change history | Save expected and observed results. Have someone retrieve a complete packet from the receiving system. Mark missing fields as unresolved. Require a correction and repeat the affected check. Ask counsel to set retention and preservation requirements for your business. Assign a record owner and document the export procedure. Do not adopt a universal retention period from a generic checklist. A successful export documents the tested record path. It does not prove that the agreement is enforceable or that future communications satisfy every applicable rule. A consent tool, certificate, or overlay does not establish website compliance. ## Bring the approved evidence specification into the website brief Supply your inquiry pages, intended contact purposes, provider documentation, counsel-approved agreement, signature process, and receiving destination. Name who owns the evidence export and who reviews unresolved legal questions.
