OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES ARE EXTENDED TO THE FAMILY OF:

Becky Aiduck (Vaccer Properties LLC) age 76, who passed away on July 1, in Hudson, FL. She was a real estate broker and over her life managed Carl’s construction company, multiple real estate firms, property management, and other real estate ventures.

Message from the President

Dear members,

As the summer sun blazes on, I reflect on the dynamic nature of our industry and our members' extraordinary resilience and adaptability. Being the president of this association is a bit like being a real estate agent during a property boom: exhilarating, challenging and always unpredictable.

When I took on this role, I thought it might be like a calm, serene lake—a place to reflect and occasionally toss a pebble to see the ripples. Instead, it’s more like a whitewater rafting expedition with no clear end. But isn’t that what we love about real estate? The thrill of the chase, the excitement of new opportunities, and the occasional panic when you realize the paperwork is due yesterday.

This year has been full of twists and turns, but despite the chaos, we’ve achieved remarkable achievements. We’ve launched new training programs, hosted successful events, and seen our community come together in ways that make me proud to be part of this association. We’re all part of one big, loving family.

As we look ahead, there’s plenty to be excited about. We’ve got new initiatives on the horizon that promise to make our work easier and more efficient. We’re embracing technology in ways that would make even the savviest millennial proud.

And we’re continuing to foster a sense of community and support that is truly second to none.

But let’s not forget to have some fun along the way. After all, all work and no play makes Jack a very dull real estate agent. So, whether it’s through our networking events, social gatherings, or the occasional karaoke sing-off (you know who you are), let’s keep the spirit of camaraderie and humor alive.

In closing, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you for your hard work, dedication, and, most importantly, your trust. It’s what keeps us going, even on the toughest days. Your trust and dedication are the pillars of our association, and we are truly grateful for your contributions. Together, we’ve navigated the rapids, climbed the hills, and come out stronger on the other side. Here’s to more success, laughter, and maybe, just maybe, a little bit of calm amidst the chaos.

ADAM GRENVILLE

2024 President

CODE OF ETHICS

REALTOR®’s Obligation to Disclose Interest

Case #11-10

Client A, an owner, needed to sell a property. She approached REALTOR® B to list the property. They agreed to the terms of the listing and the property was listed.

An offer was made and was accepted by Client A. After the prospective purchaser completed the loan application, REALTOR® B was contacted to appraise the property. When the lender was preparing the closing statement, the lender became aware that the listing broker was also the appraiser and filed a complaint with the Board of REALTORS® alleging that REALTOR® B had failed to disclose in the appraisal that he had an interest in the property, specifically seeing that the sale closed. The complaint was referred by the Grievance Committee for hearing before a panel of the Association’s Professional Standards Committee.

At the hearing, REALTOR® B protested that the lender was misreading Article 11, as interpreted by Standard of Practice 11-1, claiming that “disclosure of whether the REALTOR® has any conflicts of interest” referred only to an ownership interest. REALTOR® B concluded that the listing commission had been earned when a ready, willing, and able purchaser contracted to purchase the property and that the appraisal process was separate and distinct from the brokerage process.

The Hearing Panel concluded that REALTOR® B’s defense was specious and because he was the listing agent REALTOR® B was biased in favor of Client A since a successful transaction would benefit REALTOR® B in the form of a commission.

REALTOR® B was found in violation of Article 11.

The Legal Hotline attorneys answer questions about real estate license law and offer legal interpretations of standard business forms and contracts.

Q: Wait, doesn’t Standard of Practice 16-16 prohibit me from negotiating my commission after showing, during the purchase offer phase, or after we have an accepted offer?

A: Absolutely not! Except for the fact that you cannot make an offer to purchase contingent upon an increase in compensation paid to you by the listing broker, you can negotiate your commission with the listing broker at any time during the transaction. Standard of Practice 16-16 is designed to protect sellers and listing brokers from having purchase offers “held hostage” by cooperating brokers demanding a higher commission to be paid by the listing broker.

This Standard of Practice never prohibits negotiations between the listing broker and a cooperating broker at any time during the transaction. In fact, Standard of Practice 3-3 expressly authorizes the listing broker and cooperating broker to come to an agreement to change cooperative compensation, and that can happen before a property is shown, after showing, or even after an offer is accepted.

YPNDEN Navigating VA Loan Commission Changes

A Temporary Shift with Lasting Impact

As we navigate through an evolving landscape in real estate, a significant temporary adjustment to VA loan policies stands out, particularly affecting how commissions are managed. The VA has temporarily lifted the rule that typically restricts veterans from paying real estate commissions directly. This pivotal change is part of broader, ongoing discussions about the future of commission structures in real estate transactions involving VA loans.

This development reflects a broader trend influenced by recent industry-wide adjustments, including the landmark real estate commission lawsuit settlement scheduled to take effect this August. The settlement mandates a more transparent approach to agent compensation, aligning closely with the VA's temporary policy change. These adjustments are designed to enhance fairness in real estate transactions, providing veterans with more control and options in their home buying processes.

For real estate professionals, this shift necessitates a nuanced understanding of new policies and an ability to clearly communicate these changes to clients, especially those using VA loans. It's crucial to articulate the value we provide to our clients and adapt our business practices to comply with these updated standards.

While this is a significant change, it's important to remember that commission structures have always been negotiable. The recent changes should be seen as an opportunity to reaffirm the value of the services real estate professionals provide.

As we look forward to these changes taking full effect, it's essential for all involved—veterans, agents and industry observers—to stay informed and engaged. By embracing these changes and continuing to provide outstanding service, we ensure that the real estate profession remains robust and equitable.

Let's continue to support one another through these transitions, ensuring that all members of our community are equipped to succeed in a dynamically changing environment.

10 Safety Tips for REALTORS®

1. Be cautious what you post on social media. Carefully consider what you share and remember some posts may be copied or saved, even if they were deleted.

2. Distracted driving can place your safety and the safety of others at risk. Save serious conversations for when you are not driving.

3. Be sure your phone is fully charged prior to meeting clients or showing a home.

4. When showing a home, do not wear expensive jewelry.

5. Park your car in front of the property you are showing versus the driveway so there is no chance of being blocked in.

6. During an open house, keep the garage or back door closed to prevent people entering through multiple entrances.

7. When showing a home always allow the prospect to walk in front of you.

8. Be on alert at the end of an open house. Make sure all windows and doors are secured.

9. Share the location of your showing with colleagues and friends.

10. Try not to advertise a listing as vacant. This may encourage intruders to break into the home.

Why Building Relationships Matter: An Affiliate’s Perspective

AFFILIATE CORNER

As an affiliate in the real estate industry, your role extends beyond transactions. You’re an essential part of the ecosystem that supports REALTORS® and homebuyers. Here’s why getting involved and fostering relationships is crucial:

1. Trust and Credibility

Building relationships with REALTORS® establishes trust and credibility. When REALTORS® know you personally, they will likely recommend your services to their clients. Attend networking events, participate in association activities and engage in meaningful conversations to create lasting connections.

2. Referral Opportunities

REALTORS® often refer clients to affiliates they trust. You position yourself as a reliable resource by actively participating in industry events. When REALTORS® have clients with specific needs (such as title services, home inspections or mortgage financing), they’ll think of you first.

3. Collaborative Marketing

Partner with REALTORS® on marketing initiatives. Co-host workshops, webinars or community events. Collaborate on social media campaigns or co-branded materials. Working together expands your reach and enhances your visibility within the real estate community.

4. Education and Training

Stay informed about industry trends and changes. Attend REALTOR® training sessions or offer educational content.

When REALTORS® see you as a knowledgeable partner, they’ll seek your expertise and refer clients to you.

5. Advocacy and Support

Advocate for real estate interests. Understand challenges and support causes. Active involvement at the association allows you to contribute to policy discussions and advocate for positive changes in the industry.

6. Networking Beyond REALTORS®

While REALTORS® are essential, don’t overlook other affiliates. Network with mortgage brokers, home inspectors, appraisers and insurance agents. These connections can lead to cross-referrals and collaborative opportunities.

7. Community Engagement

Participate in community service projects alongside REALTORS®. Volunteering together strengthens bonds and showcases your commitment to the community. REALTORS® appreciate affiliates who share their values.

Remember, relationships are the foundation of success in real estate. As an affiliate, invest time in building meaningful connections. Your involvement and dedication will pay dividends, benefiting both your business and the entire real estate community.
