Who to call
Maryland homes are worth a lot. The median home value is $419,900 and 67.6% of homes are owned, so mortgage protection is a natural fit. Median household income is $103,678. Dial with care here: Maryland law stops sales calls at 8 PM, not 9 PM, and caps you at 3 calls to the same person in 24 hours.
