I have no problem leaving my personal information with the Realtor when I purchase a home. I only ask to be notified with the same information anytime anyone accesses this personal information. I would want the equal opportunity in my democratic country, to be able to be more informed about those who wish to be more informed about me. If this is not possible, I would think my rights to privacy are being violated. I know, it is shocking to think. Should be a simple request if no less is being requested from me.
