6. Email, Calls, and Text Messages
If you provide your contact information, YourPhillyAgent may contact you by email, phone, or text message regarding your inquiry, requested services, listings, market updates, and promotional content, to the extent permitted by law.

You may opt out of marketing emails by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email. You may opt out of marketing text messages by replying with any applicable stop instruction provided in the text.
