I guess I was just surprised how quickly the calls began--only a few days after closing and only one day after we received our new number from Comcast the barrage began. I'm still curious as to how these little mom and pop businesses in the area get our information so quickly. With so many home sales in TV it is interesting to ponder how these little businesses get such quick access to our info. I'm not one of those conspiracy theorists, but I would be very surprised if TV wasn't selling/providing this info to area businesses--otherwise it seems like a very labor intensive endeavor for these small businesses to be researching and calling so quickly.
