OC Real Estate LLC Messaging and Texting Policy

1. Introduction

OC Real Estate LLC is committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical and legal conduct in all of our messaging and texting practices. As part of our commitment to compliance, we have established this Messaging and Texting Policy to ensure that our messaging campaigns adhere to the A2P 10DLC (Application-to-Person 10 Digit Long Code) guidelines and regulations.

A2P 10DLC is a regulatory framework established to govern commercial messaging in the United States. It places specific requirements on the consent, content, and registration of messaging campaigns to protect consumers and promote responsible messaging practices. OC Real Estate LLC is dedicated to upholding these standards and ensuring that our messaging activities are fully compliant with A2P 10DLC enforcement.

2. Consent

2.1. Consent Documentation

At OC Real Estate LLC, we understand the critical importance of obtaining documented prior express written consent for all our messaging campaigns. To ensure compliance with A2P 10DLC, we follow these consent documentation procedures:

  • Consent records are obtained from message recipients before any communication is initiated.
  • Consent records include the full name, phone number, date/time stamp, campaign name, and description, as required by A2P 10DLC.
  • A prominent affirmation checkbox is displayed to ensure that recipients explicitly agree and provide their express written consent to receive real estate marketing and services messages.

The affirmation checkbox is clearly labeled and paired with the following notice:

[ ] I agree to receive marketing and services messages related to selling my real estate asset via the phone number provided. I understand these messages may include setting appointments, receiving valuations, offers, and other content related to real estate services from OC Real Estate LLC.

  • The recipient must affirmatively check the box indicating their consent before they can proceed with providing their phone number. The affirmation checkbox ensures the recipient acknowledges their agreement to be contacted for real estate services and marketing messages.
  • The checked affirmation box is documented along with the rest of the written consent records containing name, number, date/time, campaign description, and staff obtaining consent. Consent records are retained for a minimum of 4 years.
