La Rosa Realty, LLC is facing a proposed class action alleging the company unlawfully placed automated telemarketing calls to consumers’ cell phones without first obtaining prior express consent. The plaintiff says that he listed his apartment for sale through a Re/Max real estate agency sometime in 2017 and removed the listing – which contained only his agent’s phone number – later that year. Soon after the listing was removed, the complaint continues, the plaintiff supposedly received no fewer than seven automated telemarketing calls from the defendant offering to provide real estate services.

The man claims the calls – which allegedly “began with a noticeable pause, indicating that an autodialer was used” – occurred during a two-day period in early January and were placed to his two cell phone numbers despite both being listed in the National Do Not Call Registry. According to the lawsuit, the man never provided the defendant with his prior consent to receive the calls, which he claims were an “annoyance, nuisance, and invasion of privacy.”
