If I keep getting cold calls regarding a house I previously owned and/or an adjacent house, should I just hang up or forward the call.

Regarding the first house: in the year 2020 I sold a house. It was my primary residence for years and my parent's house. When I sold the house it was in poor condition. The new owners have done substantial remodeling, and apparently are still doing work. It is probably now the best house in the neighborhood when it was previously not the worst but may be third or fourth worse.

Every two or three months now I have been getting cold calls from realtors asking me whether they want to sell the house, saying that they have a client that is moving into the area. or that they have a client that just drove by and loved the house. Is it best that I ignore these calls, or should I forward the contact information of the new owner? I don't want to be rude by annoying them or invading their privacy. Or even stirring up.a hornet's next by making them mad and ending up getting sued for some problem in the old house that they initially consider unimportant, but now decide to get back at me because of the forwarding of the information. Would trying to ask for a "finders fee" be inappropriate?

Regarding the second house, for some reason I also keep getting calls regarding a house I never owned that is in the same neighborhood. Should I return those calls? In this second case these two houses have an Assessor's Parcel Number differing in only one digit in which a 5 is replaced by a 6. [Shouldn't APN's have a check digit?]

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
