Q: I’m negotiating the terms of a listing, and the seller asked that I get a flat-fee commission, as opposed to a commission based on percentage of sales price. Assuming my broker approves the amount and structure of the commission the brokerage firm will receive, is this acceptable?

REALTOR® B called REALTOR® A and told him of his interest in purchasing the home for himself. REALTOR® A suggested a meeting to discuss the matter. The two agreed upon terms and conditions and the property was sold by REALTOR® A to REALTOR® B. A few months later, during hard rains, leakage of the roof occurred with resultant water damage to the interior ceilings and side walls.

hearing, REALTOR® B outlined his complaint and told the Hearing Panel that at no time during the inspection of the property, or during the negotiations which followed, did REALTOR® A disclose any defect in the roof. REALTOR® B acknowledged that he had walked around the property and had looked at the roof. He had commented to REALTOR® A that the roof looked reasonably good, and REALTOR® A had made no comment. The roofing contractor REALTOR® B had employed after the leak occurred told him that there was a basic defect in the way the shingles were laid in the cap of the roof and in the manner in which the metal flashing on the roof had been installed. It was the roofing contractor’s opinion that the home’s former occupant could not have been unaware of the defective roof or the leakage that would occur during hard REALTOR®rains.A told the panel that he was participating only to prove that he was not subject to the Code of Ethics while acting as a principal as compared with his acts as an agent on behalf of others. He pointed out that he owned the property and was a principal, and that REALTOR® B had purchased the property for himself as a principal. The panel concluded that the facts showed clearly that REALTOR® A, the seller, did have knowledge that the roof was defective, and had not disclosed it to REALTOR® B, the buyer. Even though a REALTOR® is the owner of a property, when he undertakes to sell that property he accepts the same obligation to properly represent its condition to members of the public, including REALTOR® who are purchasers in their own name, as he would have if he were acting as the agent of a seller. The panel concluded that REALTOR® A was in violation of Articles 1 and 2 of the Code.

REALTOR® B had a roofing contractor inspect the roof. The roofing contractor advised REALTOR® B that the roof was defective and advised that only a new roof would prevent future water damage.

A: No. Section 83.67(3), Florida Statutes makes it illegal to discriminate against servicemembers in how property is offered for rent, or in the terms of a lease offered to a servicemember. If landlords or property managers violate this law, they could face stiff penalties.

REALTOR® A owned a home which he listed through his own brokerage firm. The property listing was filed with the Multiple Listing Service of the Board.

Nearly 70% of Canadian buyers made allcash purchases “Foreign buyers, however, are likely to step up purchases, as those making allcash offers will be immune from changes in interest rates. In addition, international flights have increased in recent months with the lifting of pandemic-related travel restrictions,” NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun notes.

•2001

Long before I was negotiating home sales and calling Florida home, I was a spunky 20-something living in bustling New York. After starting college, I left working at my family’s diner to cut my teeth on Wall Street. Later, I fine-tuned my service and sales skills in the casino industry as a Player Development Executive Host for over 13 years before entering Residential Real Estate in the Tampa Bay market. Over the course of my 26-year colorful career, I’ve gained high-end, VIP-level customer service skills that set the precedent for how I deliver client service in real estate. There are events that mark pivotal points on life’s path. Marrying my husband, moving our lives to Florida in 2004, and milestones with our boys are joyous moments. Other significant life moments, however, may be marked with emotions other than elation. But there is one place we all go to either celebrate life or find peace— home.

She is a horse lover and has worked with disabled children's therapeutic horseback riding. She is the person that will walk the elderly across the street to safety and bring the abandoned dog to the vet and sit and read a book for an individual stuck in a hospital bed. She needs no praise or recognition because her self-worth is seeing the week protected and making people's lives more bearable. If you want someone who has integrity when nobody is looking, you have found her. She will right a wrong and seek justice and see each issue as important as the last. No task is too small or too large for Margot as well as no person is more important than any other.

As the Director, Margot will diligently hold herself to a higher standard of practice with all integrity of the expectations for the office. She will also avail herself of scheduled meetings and trainings that further protect the integrity of our real estate profession.

BRUNO FERNANDEZ Bruno Fernandez, the Founder/Broker of Imagine Realty, was born and raised in Lugo, Spain! Upon graduating from Law School, he moved to the United States in 1996 and has taken the world by storm ever since. His work experience ranges widely from teaching to becoming an assistant principal and dean, to banking, to creating non-profit organizations, to where he truly found his life work’s passion: real estate. Bruno formally earned his US Citizenship in 2008, and he created his first real estate investment company shortly after. It is here that he discovered his love for helping families purchase the homes that he had poured his blood, sweat, and tears into creating for them. He knew from then on that real estate was his passion and his calling. The name “Imagine” to Bruno represents all of the amazing possibilities and doors that were opened for him upon moving to the United States. He always imagined a life where anything was possible, regardless of one’s background, education, ethnicity, or social status- none of it matters here in the Land of Opportunity, and he will never stop carrying out his passion through the motivation he and his wife have ignited inside themselves together with their creation of Imagine Realty. By electing Bruno Fernandez, you are choosing a highlyeducated problem solver who is energetic, positive, and an out-of-the-box thinker who gets things done! Above all, you are choosing an honest person who will work hard to uphold the duties of your board's Director.

BRANDON GREEN Brandon Green is a real estate entrepreneur on a mission to provide the most exceptional service and lifestyle to all clients, agents, and communities he serves. As a Florida Native, and a seasoned real estate professional, he recognizes and values the trust his clients and agents place in him and strive every day to exceed their expectations. Prior to real estate, Brandon completed a B.A. from Florida State University and worked in the educational field. He was inspired to enter the world of real estate by his mother, a longtime broker who is now proudly one of his mentors. These experiences instilled in him the patience and discipline it takes to build a steadily growing real estate company. Outside of real estate, he takes pride in giving back to the community and ending homelessness by helping families living in poverty reconnect to society and become successful individuals.

RICK FIFER Originally from the Philadelphia suburbs where he earned his BA, Rick came to Tampa following a semester in Tuscaloosa at the University of Alabama in the fall of 1983. For the next 20 years he worked in social services with the elderly, mental ill, delinquency and child protection from case management to supervision to program and contract administration. Rick finally pursued his interest in real estate following a 2-year return to Pennsylvania due to the needs of aging parents. As someone who grew up with the challenges of foster care and family poverty, Rick understands the transformative power of the stability provided by private homeownership without forgetting where he came from and his own challenges. Rick obtained his real estate license in 2005 as the market was nearing its peak and while he was the newest agent in the small firm, he was the only one in the office to survive in Real Estate these past 17 years. He moved on to Florida Executive Realty where he stayed for 8 years growing and learning from a broker that he admired and respected. Then in 2017 Rick earned his Florida Real Estate broker’s license and opened a small boutique real estate company in Seminole Heights which has been such a part of his community involvement for 30 years. In fact, it was community concerns that spurred his interest and involvement in the government affairs committee. He has participated on GA committee since 2019. In 2021 he was Vice-Chair and in 2022 he has served as chair of the Committee. Rick’s commitment over these past 4 years has been to encourage greater participation and involvement. GTR has 17,000 members yet it seems the Association keeps fishing in a very small pond for the same volunteers. Yes, that is comfortable and easy and happens in every organization. However, Rick isn’t sure that really reflects a membership that has grown dramatically over the past 10 years and believes we can do better across the diverse demographics that constitute our 17,000 members.

My diverse background in business, commercial and investmet real estate, property management and military service provide for a well rounded experience in working with diverse groups of professionals.

As a single father, Patrick found a balance between work and raising his three children, while taking time to volunteer as their soccer coach for 6 years, from 2011 to 2016. In 2016, Patrick saw the opportunity that the real estate market in Florida had to offer, and when he had a chance to make the move, he jumped on it, and relocated to Florida, so that he could provide a better quality of life for his teenage children. When he obtained his Florida Broker’s License in 2017, he created a team and has grown his business each year since. Soon enough, it was time to expand the team, and Patrick realized that he would be able to help more people grow their real estate businesses by being their broker, rather than a team leader. That is how he came to open his own brokerage in 2021.

LEADERSHIP

I was in Germany, our mission was to protect the border between the East and the West. The Soviet Union was the enemy. A lot of what finally broke the Soviet Union was cable TV. The citizens could only be lied to so much when technology started feeding them more and more information. This was really the start of our world shrinking and this global economy that we live in now. Advancements in technology, travel, and most importantly, communications have given us access to market the world. We can literally speak into our phones with any question and get an immediate answer. Once a seemingly large world, now everyone is our neighbor. My kids would play video games in their rooms after homework. I could hear them talking to other players from all over the world. We have the same global reach in business. We all complain about our phones “listening” to us. If I speak to my wife about our daughter's upcoming wedding, I get advertisements about weddings. If my wife searches for BBQ grills online, I get Facebook advertisements for grills. We can also take advantage of the same technology as small businesses. The world wants to come to Florida. It is a great place to work, retire, vacation and make investments. We can directly market our Florida services to anyone in the world affordably. My business has Google ads that only run on devices that have researched specific keywords. I have commercials that run on TVs in homes that have only talked about our research of certain keywords. This allows me to target the world at little cost. I now have clients investing in Florida from Europe, the Middle East, South America and Canada. Technology makes the global market work smoothly and efficiently. A global market gives us all more customers and provides great opportunities. I really hope you all have taken advantage of the shrinking world and embrace all the changes that are coming down the road.

One of my first assignments in the Army was in Germany. I really had no clue what I was about to experience. This was before cell phones, the internet and home computers. We didn’t even have cable TVs. My introduction to the culture and expectations came from library research and a mandatory Army class. I learned over the assignment that Europe was amazing and was able to visit so many great places and see so much history. I just didn’t have the foresight going into it. I bought my first computer in Germany, the Commodore 64, which I later upgraded to the Commodore 128. 128 megabytes, who needed that much space? Still no internet, so it was basically a gaming computer for one player. Fast forward to my first deployment to the middle east after 911. Most people had cell phones, but they were truly just phones. I was in Kuwait when I saw my first cell phone with a camera on it. I thought it was a stupid idea and people didn’t need cameras on a phone. I guess I never did have much foresight. I never imagined that phones would become minicomputers. My cell phone is a thousand times more capable than that first Commodore When64.
