Introduction

PolicyPage allows Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) and Associations to check members' web sites for compliance with listing display policies. PolicyPage allows you to use your rules in an automated fashion to scan member sites. It can therefore be seen as an automated rule enforcer for public websites.

In addition, PolicyPage is delivered with a (growing) subset of NAR model Internet display policies (rules) included. Rules can also be added or changed to meet your unique needs.

Sample PolicyPage rules include:

• Check for disclosure statement
• Check for required link
• Check for copyright statement
• Check for logo display
