Florida Lawsuit Filed Over ‘Thousands’ of Text Messages Promoting Listings

Two South Florida brokerages firms are being sued for using an automated text service to market their properties. The lawsuits state that the practice is a violation of the US federal anti-spamming laws.

Steve Grossberg filed a lawsuit in West Palm Beach District Court against a Coldwell Banker brokerage in South Florida. On the same day, Christian Larosa filed a lawsuit against Marzucco Real Estate in Naples Florida.

Both lawsuits are seeking class action status. If granted, the proposed allegations could then potentially cover anyone in the U.S. who has received an automatic text message from the brokerages in the last four years.
