Advanced Access Announces Recommendation & Distribution Agreement With Council of Residential Specialists

CRS Product Review Committee Awards “Quality-Tested Seal of Approval”

(Anaheim, CA – October 20th, 2004) – Advanced Access today announced the signing of a final Recommendation & Distribution Agreement with the Council of Residential Specialists (CRS). The agreement is the result of a stringent review process, and designates Advanced Access and its products, programs and services as an “approved” CRS Quality-Tested Product. By earning this designation and undergoing a rigorous review process by the Council’s Product Review Committee, Advanced Access is officially authorized to display the Council’s “Quality-Tested Seal.”

Due to CRS member’s and student’s increasing need for top quality educational materials, including software and computer based services, the Council conducts a thorough search of real estate related products, identifying, and in turn quality-testing for their students and members the best products available relating to residential sales.

All software and on-line platform applications are required to pass a rigorous three-part review conducted by an independent technical advisor, the Council’s Product Review Panel, and finally the Council’s select Product Review Committee. Once the application is determined to be at the highest level of accuracy and user-friendliness, utilizing the most current technology, and displaying a superior quality of output, completeness of documentation, and exemplary technical support, they are then awarded the Council’s Quality-Tested Seal. The programs are then reviewed on an annual basis to ensure strict maintenance of CRS standards.

"Advanced Access has a long and respected history of supporting CRS members and programs throughout the entire country. Our Senior Management Team is truly excited and honored to be approved by the CRS Product Review Committee and to be finally able to display their well-recognized seal of approval,” stated Kristina Davis, CEO of Advanced Access.

Richard W. Lawson, Director of Products for CRS in Chicago announced, “We are pleased to grant the 'Quality Tested Seal' to Advanced Access. We found this product to be first rate, and it met all the high standards set by the Council. We are certain that they will continue their fine tradition of excellence as they move forward.”
