πŸ”§ Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that masks user phone numbers with temporary VoIP numbers for real estate inquiries.
  2. A Zillow feature update allowing users to set 'Do Not Disturb' hours for agent contact requests.
  3. A community-maintained blacklist database of real estate agents who violate contact time norms for automated blocking.
