Recording broker phone calls

If it's a large enough brokerage with a good legal team, chances are that you'll be in more trouble for recording the call than they will be for whatever it is they did.

 

Just make the statement "This call is being recorded for quality and training purposes" before the call and you'll be good to go for the half dozen states or so that require 2 party notification.

 

If I feel I have to record a broker's calls, I'm not doing business with them.

 

I'm pretty sure it's ok as long as it's you recording a conversation you are having with someone else. Not every state, and I'm no lawyer!

You can't record a conversation that you aren't a part of unless everyone knows about it. That's why you hear the disclaimer on some calls warning you about the call bieng recorded. It's not the person you are calling directly that is recording it, it is someone else.

 

Exactly ...
If you can't trust them and they can't trust you, don't bother dealing with them.

 

Hey, you know what they say about locks... they keep honest people honest!! If you have a business line and a dial by directory, you could easily slide an “all calls will be recorded” in and man, might keep a few people straighter than normal. Funny how people switch up when they’re on camera or being recorded and have to be responsible for their actions.

 

Verbal doesn't replace/modify a written contract.

 

In Ohio one party needs to be notified. I have notified myself. I record all calls, you know they are recording you. And most time verbal agreement will change written contract. Check your state, or state your in laws however.
