Text Message Program
SMS Notifications & Consent
Chantal Apple — Independent Real Estate Agent (Sole Proprietor)
Last updated: September 30, 2026
This page explains the SMS (text message) program operated by Chantal Apple: who receives texts, how consent is collected, expected message frequency, and how to opt out at any time.
1. Lead alerts to Chantal (the business owner)
When a visitor submits a form on this website — for example a home value request or a contact form — a text alert may be sent to Chantal Apple’s own mobile number so she can follow up promptly. These are operational alerts sent only to Chantal, never to consumers.
2. Customer-care texts (to people who ask Chantal to text them)
Every form on this website — for example the home value request form at chantalapple.com/home-value-maryland — asks for your name, email and mobile number and includes an optional, unchecked SMS consent box directly above the submit button. The box is never pre-checked and you can submit the form without checking it. If you check it, you agree that Chantal Apple may text you about your specific request. The exact consent language shown on every form is:
“I agree to receive text messages from Chantal Apple, REALTOR®, Atlantic Shores Sotheby’s International Realty, about my request. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.” — followed by links to the Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.
You will only be texted regarding the request you submitted. Consent is not a condition of purchasing any property, good, or service.
3. Message frequency & rates
- Message frequency varies with your request and activity.
- Message and data rates may apply, according to your mobile carrier plan.
- Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
4. Your privacy
Your mobile information and consent are never sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
5. Opt out & help
- STOP — reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe immediately. You’ll get one final confirmation.
- HELP — reply HELP for assistance. Message and data rates may apply.
