Message from the President
Dear members,
My oh my. What a year! Successful professional boxers prepare for a fight and do their best to research and train for various scenarios; but it’s impossible to plan for everything, and eventually they’ll have to adapt to new challenges. Much like boxers, real estate professionals must decide if they are willing to adapt.
One thing I know for sure is that REALTORS® adapt for success. We’ve seen that repeatedly this year. Notably, real estate is facing the biggest shift in practice in decades (if not in history) due to the NAR settlement after the class action lawsuit loss in 2023 ($1.78B automatically tripled due to anti-trust laws).
The settlement requirements have resulted in all active practitioners assessing their business practices to continue serving their clients and customers to remain compliant, and continue to receive the covering of the settlement umbrella. While we can agree this wasn’t something we planned to do, I think we would also agree that honing our skills to have these new conversations has resulted in better communication between agents and customers alike. I am proud of your continued commitment to serving our community as the professionals I know you’re capable of being.
Also, this year the voice of our membership was heard when you voted to approve the unification of GTR and PRO/CPRO! We hosted a series of townhall style meetings and listened to your feedback and concerns; as well as maintaining a robust website with all the facts and details pertaining to the merger. This resulted in record voter turnout from both sides of the bay, overwhelmingly in favor of the merger!
I am proud to say that we are now one big happy real estate family! The day we received the official results that the merger had passed I experienced a range of emotions; varying from “WOO-HOO” to “OH…WOW… now the hard work begins”.
While the Board of Directors has had a lot to give input and guidance on during the process, the lion’s
share of the tasks fell on our combined staffs. It’s been a pleasure watching them navigate different cultures, philosophies, and leadership styles to continue progress on the unification process of the merger. While the process hasn’t always been easy, their dedication to serving our members has shined brightly. Please join me in thanking all our staff members as you see them at events or around the association offices. Not unlike the way members weren’t planning to reevaluate our business practices, our association staff members weren’t planning on having to completely shift their roles to adapt to our new merged association. The positive conversations happening amongst staff are resulting in a better product for our members.
Throughout the entire merger process we have kept a philosophy of “keep what is good from each association, leave what is not good, and create something new and better”. I truly believe that the best is yet to come!
It's been my incredible honor to represent you on the local, state, national and international levels. I will continue to strive for excellence with every opportunity I have to showcase our incredible members.
Let’s keep doing the next right thing and keep moving forward. That’s who we R!
ADAM GRENVILLE 2024/2025 Co-President
HURRICANE RELIEF EFFORTS
As of Oct. 23, the total estimated insured losses from Hurricane Milton are $2,799,386,318 with a total of 237,231 claims. Of those claims, 190,623 are for residential properties. The number of claims and estimated losses are expected to increase.
Homeowners and renters in 17 affected counties may be eligible for FEMA disaster assistance to cover uninsured losses. FEMA may be able to help with serious needs, displacement, temporary lodging, basic home repair costs, personal property losses or other disaster-caused needs.
• Claims under private flood insurance policies: 2,311 (most flood policies are through FEMA’s Flood Insurance Program, not private)
• Claims closed with payments to policyholders: 4,303
• Claims closed without payments to policyholders: 3,212
• Commercial property claims: 1,259
• Percent of claims closed: 9.5%
THANK YOU! To all the volunteers that made the time to come out and help our neighbors in Pinellas who were heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene — your dedication, compassion and hard work make a huge difference in the community. This is what makes the REALTOR® family strong! Florida State representative Lindsay Cross and Florida REALTORS® CEO Margy Grant came out to show their support and GTR + PRO/CPRO was also proud to contribute $50,000 to the Florida REALTORS® Disaster Relief Fund that helps members across Florida who were hit hard by the storm. We’re proud of our members!
CODE OF ETHICS
Dispute Between REALTORS® in Different Boards
Case #17 - 2
REALTOR® A cooperated in the sale of a commercial property with REALTOR® B, the listing broker. REALTOR® A is a member of the XYZ Board of REALTORS®, and his office is located in the XYZ Board. Both the property and REALTOR® B’s office are located within the jurisdiction of the ABC Board of REALTORS® where REALTOR® B is a member. A dispute arose between REALTORS® A and B over the division of the commission.
REALTOR® A filed a request for arbitration with the Professional Standards Committee of his Board. The President of the Board, when advised of the contractual dispute, subsequent to the Grievance Committee finding the matter arbitrable and of a mandatory nature, notified the President of REALTOR® B’s Board and requested interboard arbitration in accordance with Article 17 of the Code of Ethics. The arbitration request was brought before the Grievance Committee of REALTOR® B’s Board which also determined that the dispute was arbitrable and of a mandatory nature.
One week before being notified of his Grievance Committee’s decision, REALTOR® B filed suit against REALTOR® A. The Board of Directors of the ABC Board notified REALTOR® B to appear and answer to a charge of violation of Article 17 when REALTOR® B did not withdraw the suit subsequent to being informed that both Grievance
Committees had found the issue arbitrable and mandatory.
REALTOR® B described his contractual dispute to the Directors and stated that he knew REALTOR® A had requested arbitration because he had received a copy of the request. REALTOR® B maintained that he had filed suit because REALTOR® A was in another Board’s jurisdiction and he did not think anything would come of the request since he, REALTOR® B, was not a member of the XYZ Board.
REALTOR® B was advised that since both Grievance Committees had determined the matter was arbitrable and mandatory that interboard arbitration was being scheduled to hear the dispute. The Board of Directors concluded that his action in filing suit was not in itself in violation of Article 17 but advised REALTOR® B that if he failed to withdraw from the suit and participate in the interboard arbitration, he could be found in violation of Article 17.

Q: A buyer submitted an offer to purchase real property, which the seller signed and returned. A few days after this contract was formed, the buyer inspected the property and decided the price was too high. He crossed out the existing purchase price, inserted a lower price, initialed and dated the change, and sent this revised contract to the seller. The seller wants to reject this offer and walk away from the transaction. Can the seller do this?
A: No. The parties formed a contract, which still exists. The buyer proposed an amendment to reduce the price, but that was just a proposed amendment. The seller can accept, reject or counter that proposed amendment, but unless an amendment is eventually accepted, the existing contract continues to go forward on its original terms.
Q: Since the the MLS is removed the offer of compensation field, can I put the offer of compensation in the remarks?
A. No. Offers of compensation cannot bemade in the remarks section of the MLS or anywhere in the MLS. Bonuses and other forms of renumeration to a broker in the MLS may be viewed as compensation.

YPNDEN Breaking Through the Noise
Building a Powerful Brand as a REALTOR®
In today's competitive real estate market, how can you make your name the one clients remember? As a new REALTOR®, building a standout personal brand isn't just a luxury — it's a necessity. The good news is that with the right strategies, you can cut through the noise and become the go-to agent in your area.
First, focus your efforts on one primary platform—let's say Instagram—and make it your personal branding hub. Share engaging content that not only showcases your listings but also highlights how you can save clients time, reduce stress and help them achieve their real estate dreams. Remember, people don't buy features; they buy benefits. They want to feel confident, secure and valued. By tapping into these emotional drivers, you connect with clients on a deeper level.
Implement a full-funnel strategy that emphasizes the "know, like and trust" factor. Attract followers with informative posts about market trends or home-buying tips (top of funnel). Engage them through authentic interactions including responses to comments, answer questions and share behind-the-scenes glimpses of your work (middle of funnel). Convert leads by addressing their specific needs and offering exceptional services, such as personalized home searches or free market analyses (bottom of funnel).
Leverage principles from "The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing" by Al Ries and Jack Trout. Differentiate yourself by owning a unique niche—perhaps you're the expert in eco-friendly homes or luxury condos. Being first in the minds of your target audience (Law of Leadership) and focusing on a specific area (Law of Focus) makes you memorable.
Combine organic tactics like community networking with paid advertising to amplify your reach. Attend local events, join real estate groups and collaborate with other professionals to build genuine connections. Use targeted ads on your chosen platform to reach potential clients who are actively looking to buy or sell.
The crucial final step is follow-up. Generating buzz is fantastic, but if you're not tracking your interactions, you can't measure or optimize your efforts. Utilize Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools to monitor leads, schedule follow-ups and maintain relationships. Encourage satisfied clients to leave reviews, boosting your online presence and building trust with future clients. Remember, without a strong why, people don't buy. By addressing their needs and desires, you turn prospects into clients and clients into raving fans.
Steps to Implement:
1. Choose One Platform: Focus your efforts where your potential clients are most active.
2. Create Engaging Content: Highlight benefits that resonate emotionally with clients.
3. Implement a Full-Funnel Strategy: Guide followers from awareness to engagement to conversion.
4. Leverage Marketing Principles: Differentiate yourself by specializing in a unique niche.
5. Combine Organic and Paid Tactics: Network locally and use targeted ads to maximize visibility.
6. Utilize Systems for Follow-Up: Use CRM tools to track leads and optimize your efforts.
7. Encourage Reviews: Build credibility through client testimonials.
Building your brand is a journey that requires strategy, consistency and adaptability. By focusing on these steps and continuously refining your approach, you'll rise above the competition and create lasting relationships with clients. Remember, the ultimate goal is to meet your clients' needs and exceed their expectations, turning them into raving fans who help grow your business.

Cinderella and the Realities of Real Estate Partnerships
By Barbara M. Brown, Esquire, Managing Attorney with Brown & Associates Law & Title, P.A.
In the enchanting world of fairy tales, Cinderella’s story is one of dreams coming true, magical transformations, and happy endings. However, when it comes to business partnerships and real estate transactions, the reality is often far from a fairy tale. Just like Cinderella’s journey, navigating these partnerships requires careful planning, clear communication and a solid understanding of potential pitfalls.
No Fairy Tales in Business Partnerships
Entering a business partnership can be exciting, but it’s important to remember that there are no fairy tales here. To avoid turning your dream collaboration into a nightmare, consider these key steps:
1. Be Proactive: Before going into a partnership, outline the “deal” and the “exit plan.” This means clearly defining each partner’s roles, responsibilities and contributions. Discuss what will happen if the partnership doesn’t work out. Having a well-thoughtout exit strategy can save a lot of heartache in the future.
2. Clear Communication: Just as Cinderella needed to communicate with her fairy godmother, partners need to maintain open and honest communication. Regular check-ins and transparent discussions about goals, challenges and expectations can help prevent misunderstandings and conflicts.
Real Estate Transactions: Understanding Florida’s Partition Action
Buying property together can feel like a dream come true, but it’s essential to be aware of the legal aspects involved. In Florida, understanding the Partition action is crucial. This legal process allows co-owners to divide the property or force its sale if they can’t agree on its use or disposition. Here are some important points to consider:
1. Initial Deposits: When making an initial deposit on a property, be aware that it might be considered a gift to the transaction. This means that if the partnership
dissolves, you may not get your deposit back. It’s important to discuss and document how initial contributions will be handled in case of a split.
2. Legal Agreements: Just like Cinderella’s glass slipper was a perfect fit, your legal agreements should be tailored to fit your specific situation. Work with a legal professional to draft agreements that clearly outline each partner’s rights and responsibilities, as well as the process for resolving disputes.
The Perils of Joint Ownership for Unmarried Couples
Joint ownership of property can be particularly complex for unmarried couples. Without the legal protections that marriage provides, it’s crucial to take extra precautions:
1. Ownership Structure: Decide whether you will hold the property as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as tenants in common. Each structure has different implications for inheritance and ownership rights.
2. Co-Ownership Agreement: Draft a co-ownership agreement that outlines each person’s financial contributions, responsibilities and what happens if one partner wants to sell their share or if the relationship ends.
3. Estate Planning: Ensure that your estate planning documents, such as wills and powers of attorney, reflect your wishes regarding the property. This can help avoid legal complications if one partner passes away.
While Cinderella’s story may be a timeless fairy tale, business partnerships and real estate transactions require a more pragmatic approach. By being proactive, maintaining clear communication, and understanding the legal aspects involved, you can help ensure that your partnership doesn’t turn into a pumpkin at midnight. Remember, there are no fairy tales in business, but with careful planning and the right approach, you can create your own happy ending.

Deck the Halls, Not the Lines:
How to Keep Deals Merry and Legal!
As the holiday season approaches, REALTORS® are decking the halls with festive cheer while ensuring their professional boundaries remain intact. This time of year, it’s more important than ever for real estate professionals to focus on what they do best—facilitating smooth transactions—while relying on trusted affiliates for specialized advice. By respecting boundaries, REALTORS® can keep deals merry and legal, ensuring clients receive the best possible service.
The Importance of Trusted Affiliates
REALTORS® wear many hats, but it’s crucial to recognize when to pass the baton to experts in other fields. Here are some key areas where real estate professionals should rely on trusted affiliates:
1. Flood Insurance Needs: Instead of advising clients on flood insurance, REALTORS® should refer them to licensed insurance professionals. These experts can provide comprehensive information on available options, ensuring clients make informed decisions that best suit their needs.
2. Home Inspections: A thorough home inspection is vital for any real estate transaction. REALTORS® should recommend certified home inspectors who can identify potential issues and provide detailed reports. This ensures buyers are fully aware of the property’s condition before making a commitment.
3. Legal Work: Real estate transactions often involve complex legal documents. REALTOR® should always refer clients to qualified attorneys for legal advice and document review. This helps prevent any legal pitfalls and ensures all paperwork is in order.
4. Estate Planning: When dealing with properties that
AFFILIATE CORNER
are part of an estate, it’s essential to involve estate planning professionals. These experts can navigate the intricacies of estate laws and help clients manage their assets effectively.
Benefits of Relying on Experts
By focusing on their core competencies and leveraging the expertise of trusted affiliates, REALTORS® can:
• Enhance Client Trust: Clients appreciate it when REALTORS® acknowledge the limits of their expertise and refer them to specialists. This builds trust and demonstrates a commitment to providing the best possible service.
• Reduce Liability: Making independent judgments in areas outside their expertise can expose REALTORS® to legal risks. Referring clients to professionals helps mitigate this liability and ensures compliance with industry regulations.
• Improve Transaction Efficiency: Collaborating with experts streamlines the transaction process. Clients receive timely, accurate advice, which can expedite decision-making and lead to smoother closings.
This holiday season, REALTORS® can keep deals merry and legal by relying on trusted affiliates. Doing so will ensure clients receive expert advice on all aspects of the transaction, from flood insurance to legal work. This approach not only enhances client satisfaction but also protects them from potential liabilities. So, deck the halls with festive cheer and let the experts handle the rest!
Happy holidays and happy selling!
