Residents of one north Charlotte neighborhood are fighting a plan by a
developer to build up to 64 town homes off West Sugar Creek Road in north

American cemetery that dates back to the 1860s.

Update On The
National Do Not Call Registry's Impact On Realtors®
On June 27, 2003, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) officially launched its
National Do-Not-Call Registry, allowing consumers to limit the telemarketing
calls they receive at home. NAR offers a Field Guide to Anti-Solicitation
and Do-Not-Call Lists at REALTOR.org. The articles, links, and other
material in the guide provide more information on the federal and state laws
and their potential impacts on the real estate industry. Also listed in the
guide are states with Do-Not-Call Laws and Do-Not-Call Web Sites.

Fax Regulation
Starting August 25, new rules issued by the Federal Communications
Commission prohibit sending certain types of faxes to any person or entity
without first obtaining their written consent. These rules apply to any fax
that contains information advertising the commercial availability or quality
of any property, goods or services. The rules apply even if the fax is sent
by a real estate firm to an existing client or by an association to one of
its members, as the new rules eliminated the exemption for existing business
relationships. NCAR is in the process of addressing this issue and its
impact on members and local associations.

hit the highest level since the early 1990s, interest rates are still at a
low point and apartment rental costs are being driven down by high vacancy
rates. [More]
