ore than 25 years ago as the Internet was coming to life some predicted that real estate agents would go the way of the dinosaur.

Fast forward to 2017. Not only are agents still around, their necessity has intensified as the real estate transaction has grown more complex. In fact, while travel agents, stock traders, and taxi drivers have taken hits to the fees they charge, the traditional real estate commission remains mostly unchanged, according to a recent story by The Washington Post.

“The average commission paid to real estate agents has gone up slightly since 2005,” according to the Post, citing a Real Trends analysis. “In 2016, it stood at 5.12 percent.”

Last year, 88 percent of home buyers across the country used a real estate agent, according to the 2016 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers by the National Association of Realtors®. That same percentage said they would use their agent again or recommend their agent to others. Only 8 percent of recent home sales were “for sale by owner” or FSBO, the lowest share recorded since the report started in 1981.

The Human Element

The staying power of agents baffles critics, who can’t understand why home owners bother to hire someone to buy or sell a home.

What they don’t factor in is the human element. Realtors® are experts when it comes time to buying or selling a home, the largest financial transaction most people will make in their lifetime.

The Salt Lake REALTOR is the monthly magazine of the Salt Lake Board of REALTORS . Opinions expressed by writers and persons quoted in articles are their own and do not necessarily reflect positions of the Salt Lake Board of REALTORS®. ®

A Realtor’s® expertise involves communication, knowledge, guidance, and trust.

Those qualities can’t be replaced by a website, an app, or a robot. One national brokerage recently drove this message home in a TV commercial when it exclaimed, “They say robots will replace us, but when it comes to making dreams come true, humans win every time.”

The challenge of Realtors® is to make sure the human qualities shine through.

Professionalism, hustle, awareness, and insight are qualities home buyers and sellers value. Make sure you are that kind of Realtor®.

Listings at Four-Year Low New listings of single-family homes in Salt Lake County in the first quarter hit a four-year low and were 45 percent lower than the all-time peak record for a first quarter. In the first three months of this year there were 3,583 new listings, the lowest new number of listings for a first quarter since 2014. It was also the second lowest number of new listings for a first quarter in the past 10 years. New listings for a first quarter peaked in 2008, when 6,552 homes were listed for sale.

Brokers Meet at the Realtor® Campus Brad Bjelke, CEO of UtahRealEstate.com, recently addressed brokers at a special Town Hall at the Realtor® Campus. Bjelke talked about listing syndication and the policies surrounding syndication agreements. The MLS can send data to a syndication company when the syndicator agrees to an approved licensing agreement that protects the data. In addition, James Wood, Ivory-Boyer Senior Fellow at the Kem C. Gardner Institute, talked about Utah’s limited supply of housing inventory and the effect on home prices.

Article 2 of the Realtor® Code of Ethics was one of the most cited of the violated articles in the complaints that were filed with the Salt Lake Board of Realtors® last year. Rarely, from those complaints that were passed on to a hearing with the violation, did the Professional Standards hearing panel find the respondent(s) guilty. Below are a few helpful dos and don’ts to help clarify the meaning of Article 2.

Do: Act truthfully and honestly in communications with clients and/ or customers within your capacity as a Realtor®. Disclose “known” defects about a property that have been revealed by the client or customer.

Avoid using false information in any document to a real estate transaction.

Don’t: Advise on matters outside of your expertise as Realtors®.

Intentionally hide or misrepresent any relevant details that may affect the outcome of a property being brought or sold. Intentionally give advice that may mislead or deceive any party or institution throughout a real estate transaction.

Article 2 most follows alongside the Golden Rule “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” Remember they are relying on you for your knowledge, education, experience and professionalism when buying or selling their home.

Following the dos and don’ts as shown above will help lead to a successful closing and discourage the need to file an Ethics Complaint.

Holly Robbins, professional standards administrator, handles all ethics complaints and arbitration requests for the Salt Lake Board of Realtors®.

The Strongest Seller’s Market Ever It’s a brutal environment for potential home buyers. Trying to compete for a home without using a Realtor® puts them at a large disadvantage.

By Dave Anderton

T

ight inventories and multiple offers are making the Wasatch Front’s current real estate market the strongest seller’s market perhaps in the history of Utah.

Multiple offers on homes priced under $500,000 are routine. Fewer listings and a lag in new-home construction leaves few options for those looking to buy a home. The combination resulted in falling home sales across the Wasatch Front in the first three months of 2017 compared to the same period a year earlier, according to the Salt Lake Board of Realtors®. In the first quarter, sales of single-family homes along the Wasatch Front dropped 5 percent compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Troy Peterson, president of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors® and broker and owner of Equity Real Estate Solid, said sales would be climbing if there were more listings. New listings in the first quarter are down 6 percent from a year ago. That represents more than 500 fewer homes for sale along the Wasatch Front this year compared to last year.

12 | Salt Lake Realtor ® | May 2017

“This is the strongest seller’s market ever,” Peterson said. “To be a buyer right now is just brutal. Competition is fierce for homes priced under $500,000. Many sellers are making the sale of their home contingent on them finding another property.”

Scott Robbins, second vice president of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors® and an associate broker with Coldwell Banker Residential, agrees with Peterson. Robbins said potential home buyers that are trying to compete for a home without using a Realtor® are at a large disadvantage. For homes listed at $350,000 or less, Robbins recommends a full price offer or above. Agents should make sure their clients offer more in earnest money and are prepared for tight deadlines when it comes to home inspections and appraisals.

Robbins recalled a listing with multiple offers on it. The buyer decided he wanted to represent himself and wrote an offer using the REPC. However, the buyer didn’t know what dates to put down and even marked that he would pay for a home warranty himself instead of the seller.

“He wrote a full price offer but with only $1,000 earnest money when it should have been $2,500,” Robbins said. “He also wrote 21 days for due diligence which in this market should be 10 to 14 days. By not having a professional to advise him, he lost out on the deal. The seller went with another offer.”

Utah’s hot economy, strong net migration, and new household formations are making it difficult for first-time buyers to find homes.

Competition even exists for higher-priced homes, according to Peterson, who added he’s never seen anything like the current market in his 22 years of selling real estate. A recent $950,000 listing received three offers, each offer coming in at $1 million. The competition is especially hard for first-time buyers. Peterson recently represented one buyer who offered $215,000 on a $190,000 listing.

Vanessa Corbin, a Realtor® with Windermere Utah Real Estate, said she currently represents a young couple who are first-time buyers looking in the $250,000 range. So far, they have written five offers on homes within Salt Lake County.

“Every one of them was a multiple offer situation,” Corbin said. “We went above list price on every single one. We lost out on all five. It’s tough to compete when you’re an FHA buyer in this market. We are losing out to cash offers and conventional loans.”

Corbin, who started her real estate career 10

14 | Salt Lake Realtor ® | May 2017

years ago during the Great Recession, said the current market is harder than the recession years.

“In the recession we had inventory,” she added. “Today, home owners are nervous about listing their homes because they are afraid they can’t find another home.”

While sales of single-family homes are showing slight declines, condominium sales are on the rise. In Salt Lake County condo sales climbed 6 percent in the first quarter year-overyear. Typically, condos are less expensive than single-family homes, driving many first-time buyers to consider them.

The median price of a single-family home on the Wasatch Front increased to $280,000, up from $255,000 a year ago. Salt Lake County had the highest single-family home price of the five counties along the Wasatch Front at a median of $300,000 in the first quarter, up 10 percent from a year ago. Utah County home prices were the second highest at a median of $287,000, an 8 percent year-over-year rise. Homes in Weber County were the most affordable along the Wasatch Front at a median price of $205,000.

The average cumulative days homes and condos were on the market in the first quarter in Salt Lake County fell to 48 days, down from 59 days in the first quarter of 2016.

Commercial Alliance Committee Introduces the Certified Commercial Advisor Designation

T

he Commercial Alliance Committee of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors® has achieved some great successes over the past few years.

Many people don’t realize that almost half of all commercial transactions are done by members of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors®.

Two of the primary achievements of the Commercial Alliance Committee have been the introduction of new commercial input forms on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and the creation of a series of commercial real estate courses designed to educate Realtors® on how to broker commercial properties.

In 2015, the Commercial Alliance Committee asked Ken Holman, president of the National

16 | Salt Lake Realtor ® | May 2017

Association of Real Estate Advisors (NAREA), a licensed real estate instructor with the Utah Division of Real Estate and a member of the committee, to prepare a series of classes on commercial real estate brokerage. NAREA is an affiliate member of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors®.

Although challenging, in 2016, under the guidance of the Commercial Alliance Committee, NAREA created a new commercial real estate designation, Certified Commercial Advisor (CCA) and rolled out 12, three-hour continuing education courses all focused on commercial real estate brokerage.

To earn the designation requires that a Realtor®

take 12 required courses and participate in three commercial transactions within a 12-month period.

If a Realtor® does not have any commercial real estate experience, the experience requirement can be waived by taking an additional four elective courses all designed to give the Realtor® hands on experience in handling four types of commercial real estate transactions.

The response has been overwhelming with 115 members having taken one or more of the courses over the year. A total of nine members have completed all 12 required courses and will be earning their CCA designation.

The nine members who have completed all 12 Certified Commercial Advisor (CCA) courses are:

• Sheila Simpson, Principal Broker/Owner of Bridgeway Realty and 2017 Chairperson of the Commercial Alliance Committee of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors • Elena Cook, Realty Path, LLC • Nancy Franz, Bridgeway Realty, LLC • Mel Hill, Equity Real Estate - Advantage • Lila Jessop, Century 21 Everest Realty Group • Gregory Misener, Value Real Estate & Iuvo Law, Inc. • Frank Tuan Ngo, Realtypath Pro • Bryce Ross, Community Solutions & Sales • Edee Wilson, Serendipity Place

According to Sheila Simpson, 2017 Chairperson of the Commercial Alliance Committee, “I’ve practiced real estate for over 35 years now, and I’ve always been an avid proponent of education, but I’ve rarely seen any class—let alone a large set of classes like CCA— that had the excellent content and the wonderful reference materials…the other students who took these classes with me also had nothing but accolades…for the classes.”

The next series of CCA classes are scheduled for June 28-29 being taught in the auditorium at the Realtor® Campus in Sandy. Those interested can sign up for the classes on NAREA’s website at www.NAREAGroup.org.

Five Rules Every Realtor® Should Follow To avoid legal pitfalls follow these suggestions.

By Curtis A. Bullock CEO of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors®

Rule No. 1 – Disclose, Disclose, Disclose The Utah Supreme Court recently ruled on an interesting case involving a licensed agent who failed to disclose his personal interest in a complex real estate transaction.

Here is a quick synopsis of the case. The Agent introduced some Investors to a land Developer.

They signed a REPC that included a $705,000 deposit. The Developer was to develop a tract of land into separate lots and once completed the Investors would pay the final contract price.

The Agent received over $150,000 which went directly to the Agent and did not pass through his brokerage first. This was not a real estate commission. The Agent did not disclose to the Investors that he was going to receive money as part of the deal in exchange for bringing the Developer a buyer. The transaction failed and the Investors sought a return of their $705,000 only to find out it had been spent and that the Agent had received over $150,000 of the money.

Lower Court Ruling - The Investors obtained a judgment of over $1 million (representing the Investors $705,000 plus interest) against the Agent for “negligence” stating the Agent was liable for “failing to clarify his role in the transaction, and failing to disclose a personal interest in the

20 | Salt Lake Realtor ® | May 2017

transaction.” This ruling was later settled between the parties. The Supreme Court later ruled on a technical issue dealing with E&O Insurance.

Rule No. 2 – Deadlines Matter

I recently testified as a trial witness in District Court in a real estate case involving the REPC. Defense Counsel’s purpose in having me testify at trial was to help explain to the court the meaning and rationale behind section 7 of the REPC. More specifically section 7(e) that requires the seller to provide a copy of lease agreements to the buyer as part of the seller disclosures.

Here are the facts of the case - The Buyer and Seller go under contract on the purchase and sale of a duplex. Buyer is an investor who is interested in owning a rental property. The Seller Disclosure Deadline was July 7, the Due Diligence Deadline was July 15 and Settlement was July 31. Seller provides buyer with a copy of the Seller Property Condition Disclosure Form before the deadline but does not provide the two tenant leases for the duplex until July 24th (well after the contract deadlines). Buyer is uncomfortable with the leases, cash flow and other issues and decides to cancel on July 28th. Seller files a lawsuit against the Buyer for monetary damages as a result of Buyer’s failure to close. The Buyer argues that the

Exceeding ASHI Standards

Seller breached the contract by failing to provide the lease agreements in accordance with Section 7(e) of the REPC. The Seller argues the Buyer cancelled too late in the transaction.

Court Ruling - Buyer wins. The failure of Seller to provide the lease agreements in accordance with section 7(e) (among other reasons) was enough to allow Buyer to cancel the contract even late in the transaction.

Takeaway - Deadlines matter! Make sure your sellers provide all the disclosures noted in section 7 of the REPC prior to the Seller Disclosure Deadline (i.e., SPCD form, Title Commitment, leases, CC&R’s etc).

Rule No. 3 – Display Your Brokerage Name on All Advertising Whether you are on a real estate team or on your own, don’t forget to prominently display your brokerage name on all your real estate signs, flyers, business cards or any other advertising. A good rule of thumb is to clearly and conspicuously identify the brokerage name in the advertisement such that anyone looking at the advertisement would understand you or your Team are affiliated with a brokerage.

Rule No. 4 – Market All Residential Listings on the MLS (UtahRealEstate.com) As a member of Utahrealestate.com (URE), brokers agree to market all residential listings on the MLS. Exceptions include commercial properties, residential properties with more than five units and Exclusive Office Listings. Residential listings must be submitted to the MLS within five business days of the effective date of the listing agreement, or when the listing is first advertised on any website accessible to the general public, whichever occurs first. Exclusive Office Listing - if the seller decides not to market the property on the MLS, the seller and broker must sign the “MLS Listing Exclusion Form” and that form needs to be submitted to URE within five business days after signing of the listing agreement. If the property is “coming soon” and there is not a listing agreement signed, the MLS rules do not prevent pre-marketing (but there are state laws that require a listing agent to have a written agency agreement with the seller in order to represent the seller). If there is a valid listing agreement signed, then all the MLS rules including the timeframe for submitting a listing to the MLS, listing photo requirements, etc apply.

Coming Soon listings which are on the MLS, but not available for showings, should be placed in the “Off-Market” status so the “Days on Market” do not accumulate and the public is not led to believe that the property can be shown.

Rule No. 5 – Conversations in a Property May Be Recorded

In the latest Utah Division of Real Estate Newsletter, several agents were fined for not including their brokerage name in their advertising. So don’t get caught in this trap.

Do you have a reasonable expectation of privacy while touring a property for sale? Probably not.

It is not uncommon for a Seller to use a nanny camera or other recording device to record what buyers are saying and/or doing while touring their property. In Utah, a seller most likely has the right to do this since the property is privately owned. The buyer should not expect his/her conversations to remain private.

Across the country there are other states dealing with this issue as well as it relates specifically to team advertising. The California Real Estate Commission recently issued an alert to all agents and brokers urging real estate teams to make sure they include their brokerage name in any advertising so the public isn’t misled into

Housing Watch Tight Inventories, Falling Sales 2 - C OLOR

T

ight inventories resulted in falling home sales across the Wasatch Front in the first three months of 2017 compared to the same period a year earlier, according to the Salt Lake Board of RealtorsÂŽ. In the first quarter, sales of single-family homes along the Wasatch Front dropped 5 percent compared to the first quarter of 2016.

New listings across the Wasatch Front in the first quarter are down 6 percent from a year ago. That represents more than 500 fewer homes for sale along the Wasatch Front this year compared to last year.

In Salt Lake County, new listings are down 8 percent year-over-year.

Utah’s strong economy is making it difficult for first-time buyers to find homes. Multiple offers are now the routine, not the exception. Higher prices are pushing more people to buy condominiums. In Salt Lake County condo sales climbed 6 percent in the

first quarter year-over-year. Typically, condos are less expensive than single-family homes, driving many first-time buyers to consider them.

The median price of a single-family home on the Wasatch Front increased to $280,000, up from $255,000 a year ago. Salt Lake County had the highest singlefamily home price of the five counties along the Wasatch Front at a median of $300,000 in the first quarter, up 10 percent from a year ago. Utah County home prices were the second highest at a median of $287,000, an 8 percent year-over-year rise. Homes in Weber County were the most affordable along the Wasatch Front at a median price of $205,000.

The average cumulative days for homes (all housing types) on the market in the first quarter in Salt Lake County fell to 48 days, down from 59 days in the first quarter of 2016.
