| 'Safe-Calling(TM) Compliance Kit for Real Estate Professionals' to Help REALTORS(R) Comply With Federal Do-Not-Call Regulations |
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Association of
REALTORS(R) (C.A.R.) today announced the launch of its Safe-Calling(TM)
Compliance Kit for Real Estate Professionals. The kit is designed to help
brokers and real estate office managers train their personnel to comply with
the safe-harbor provision of federal do-not-call regulations. The safe harbor
provision can help protect a business from lawsuits seeking to enforce
violations for phone calls made to numbers listed in the national Do-Not-Call
Registry.
The kit contains national Do-Not-Call Registry instructions, Federal Trade
Commission Q&A information, complete legal references on federal do-not-call
rules, Consent for Communications (CFC) forms via C.A.R.'s WINForms(TM)
electronic forms software and related download instructions, sample
do-not-call tracking logs, a training log, and a Safe-Calling Quick Reference
Guide.
"Not only does the Safe-Calling(TM) Compliance Kit spell out, in
user-friendly language, the recommended polices to comply with federal
regulations, but it also includes hands-on training tools to implement those
policies and training procedures," said C.A.R. President Ann Pettijohn. "The
Safe-Calling(TM) Compliance Kit is right on target, packaged to provide an
all-in-one solution for brokers."
The Safe-Calling(TM) Compliance Kit for Real Estate Professionals was
developed by C.A.R.'s legal staff and is being marketed by Real Estate
Business Services Inc. (REBS) as a risk management training tool in the
SureTrac(R) family of products. REBS, a subsidiary of the California
Association of REALTORS(R), is the leading provider of real estate products
and services to practitioners in California and is the exclusive official
supplier of premium incentive items for the National Association of
REALTORS(R).
In addition to the California-specific kit, a national version of the
Safe-Calling(TM) Compliance Kit also will be available due to the widespread
impact of the new federal do-not-call requirements. The national product will
be marketed and sold primarily through RE FormsNet, a REBS subsidiary, with
its core product value being the new Consent for Communication form provided
through a ZipForm add-on library of electronic forms. The national version of
the Safe-Calling(TM) Compliance Kit marks the first time a SureTrac(R) product
will be offered nationwide.
The Safe-Calling(TM) Compliance Kit for Real Estate Professionals will
retail for $99 for C.A.R. members.
The California Association of REALTORS(R) ( http://www.car.org ) is one of
the largest state trade organizations in the United States, with more than
135,000 members dedicated to the advancement of professionalism in real
estate. C.A.R. is headquartered in Los Angeles.
