NYSAR Real Estate Services Partners With PossibleNOW To Assist Members With
Do-Not-Call Compliance

ATLANTA, GA – February 25, 2004 – PossibleNOW, the trusted source for comprehensive web-based do-not-call protection solutions, and NYSAR Real Estate Services, Inc. announce their partnership to assist members of the New York State Association of REALTORS® (NYSAR) with Do Not Call Regulation compliance.

PossibleNOW’s DNCQuickcheck™, a web-based service, provides a complete set of tools that will help NYSAR members comply with all aspects of federal and state Do-Not-Call laws. DNCQuickcheck is specifically designed to provide easy-to-use regulatory compliance tools to individual real estate agents. DNCQuickcheck lets real estate agents easily and quickly identify consumers who don’t want to be contacted. Verifying phone numbers prior to placing calls saves time, helps with marketing efforts, and helps ensure compliance.

Through this program, NYSAR members receive significant savings on PossibleNOW’s online compliance services.

“Federal law now requires direct marketers, including real estate professionals, to have policies and procedures in place to avoid placing prohibited calls,” states Scott Frey, CEO of PossibleNOW. “New York’s REALTORS® who are using this system will now be able to check the phone number against the Do Not Call Registry before they pick up the telephone to call a referral, a for sale by owner, or an expired listing. Fortunately, our DNCQuickcheck service makes it easy to include these marketing activities in their calling campaigns.”

Frey continues, “Do-Not-Call compliance goes well beyond just checking phone numbers. Agents need to ensure complete compliance including, for example, handling do-not-call requests and creating documentation that can be audited to assist with an affirmative defense against unwarranted claims. That’s exactly what DNCQuickcheck offers.”

“We know that our members want to comply with the Do Not Call regulations,” said Charles M. Staro, CEO of NYSAR Real Estate Services, Inc. “This partnership with PossibleNOW gives our members access to an affordable and easy-to-use compliance tool.”

In addition to verifying phone numbers and providing compliance reporting, DNCQuickcheck helps real estate professionals ensure compliance with federal and state regulations by offering the following:

• Online training for staff members to meet the federal requirement for Do-Not-Call training.
• A “Policy Wizard” to create and fulfill a company’s Do-Not-Call policy to consumers upon request.
• Identification of pertinent “Established Business Relationship” rules associated with Do-Not-Call numbers to find consumers who can be contacted.
• Notification about changes to Do-Not-Call Regulations.
• Management of internal Do-Not-Call lists.
