PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
2018 PRESIDENT DANNY HERNANDEZ On August 8 and 9, the Florida Realtors® Convention and Expo will be opening to agents all over the state. Have you bought your tickets yet? If not, consider why you should. The Florida Realtors® convention brings experts from across the country to impart their wisdom to REALTORS® like yourself who are looking to develop their skills and build a successful future in real estate. Whether you are new to the field, or just looking to take your business to the next level, the Florida Realtors® convention is your ticket to advancing your career. Each year this convention offers attendees a chance to build professional skills through offered designation courses and special sessions that will introduce them to industry experts and help them grow their network. REBar Camp starts the day before on August 7. This camp allows those attending to share helpful tips, tools, and strategies with one another, so that attendees can glean from each other what works and what does not. This event can be attended for free with the purchase of a $20 t-shirt or you can attend by making a donation to the Florida Realtors PAC. If you would like to register, do so at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rebarcamp-orlando-at-the2018-florida-realtors-convention-trade-expo-tickets-44191 356537 or sign up onsite at 11am. In addition to the many headlining events, like “America’s Got Magic”, and band favorite Party on the Moon, there are a number of less known attractions you might be interested in looking in to. For instance, you can get free professional headshots taken at the Panzacola Foyer from 9am-6pm on Wednesday, August 8.
You can meet attorneys from Florida Realtors® who can answer your legal questions from 9-5 in the Sebastian Foyer on the 8th as well. And Florida Realtors® is also making their tech team available with the Tech Helpline Internet Café & Form Simplicity Booth, also in the Sebastian Foyer, on Thursday, August 9 from 8-5. If you need tech assistance, stop by and speak to one of these professionals. And don’t forget to swing by the Expo. There is no cost to attend, and you will be introduced to wide array of products and services that will help you in your business. See what new technology is coming down the pipe, enter to win for fabulous prizes, and take home all kinds of free goodies at the expo. And while you’re there, be sure to look for our Global Alliance Committee booth and say hi to our committee members. Visit convention.floridarealtors.org to view the schedule of events and speakers to get a full picture of the many opportunities that are available to you. Be sure to download the mobile app to help you navigate the convention and organize your events. And, if you haven’t already purchased your tickets, online registration has closed, but you can still register at the Florida Realtors® Registration Desk on site at the Rosen Shingle Creek hotel. Attending the Florida Realtors® convention and Expo is a valuable tool to developing your professional skills and network. I hope to see many of you there!
FLORIDA PAC ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL CANDIDATE ENDORSEMENTS
Florida Realtors® PAC candidates for the Florida Senate:
On July 19, Florida Realtors® PAC announced additional candidate endorsements for the 2018 election cycle.
Candidates were evaluated on numerous factors, including their voting record on issues that are relevant to the real estate profession.
RAMCO SOFTWARE TRANSITION COMING SOON Get ready, members! On August 30-31, we will begin transitioning from our member service platform Avectra to RAMCO’s Association Management System. This new platform is designed to create a more facile environment to view and register for classes, review dues invoices, and perform other common tasks. We’ve been preparing for the better part of a year to make sure this transition goes seamlessly so that there is no disruption to our operations, and we feel confident you will approve of this new and improved software solution. At the end of the month you will notice a new interface when you log in through our member portal. We will be sending communications in the lead-up to the switch to remind you of the coming transition and to give you a preview of the new layout so you are better prepared for the changes. Any questions you have about this new platform can be directed to our member services team. Give us a call at 407-846-0117 or email membership@osceola-realtors.com. We’re here for you.

The Global Alliance Committee would like to extend an invitation to their next must-attend event for anyone looking to specialize in the international real estate market representing a healthy segment of Central Florida buyers.

It’s just $25 to attend if you purchase your tickets by August 10, and $30 at the door on the day of the event. The Global Alliance Committee is pleased to offer this informational luncheon session in conjunction with the Women’s Council of REALTORS® of Osceola County. The event, held at Falcon’s Fire Country Club, will begin at 11:30am and carry through until 2:00pm.

THANK YOU, MEMBERS! Thank you to all who participated in our school supply drive in July! Because of your generosity, we have been able to help ensure that students across the county have the supplies they need to start their school year off right.
CLOSING FOR RENOVATION SEPTEMBER 4, 2018 Please excuse our temporary office closure on Tuesday, September 4 while we renovate our space to enhance your experience with us. We want to make sure our office meet your expectations, so we will be shutting our facility down on this one day to bring you a setting that is pleasing to the eye and functional. Thank you for taking note of this closing, and we will re-open first thing the following day to share our improvements with you!
NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM EXTENDED After a sustained campaign on the part of the National Association of REALTORS® congress has agreed to extend the National Flood Insurance Program through the end of November, giving legislators more time to work on a comprehensive, long-term package. Thank you to the many REALTORS® who participated in our Call to Action, letting legislators know the importance of this program. Nearly 125,000 agents took part in this crucial Call to Action – about 15% of NAR’s total membership.
NAR President, Elizabeth Mendenhall expressed her gratitude for the extension, saying “We applaud lawmakers for taking this needed action to prevent disruptions to closings in thousands of communities across the country. Although the program is now extended through Nov. 30, the NFIP is in desperate need of reforms that will make the program solvent and sustainable for the long term. The National Association of Realtors will continue fighting for these reforms.”
EARN THE ABR DESIGNATION! MONA SOMERS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR On August 16 and 17 OSCAR is bringing members the opportunity to enhance their business credentials with an ABR designation. The ABR designation, or Associated Buyers Representative, is a designation that shows buyers that you have the skills needed to represent them expertly. Attendees wishing to earn the ABR designation need only take this two-day course, take one ABR elective – such as At Home with Diversity or ePro, among many others, and have 5 sales in which they served solely as the buyer’s agent. And, of course they must be in good standing with NAR and REBAC. By gaining an ABR designation, members will have access to networking and referrals to further their business prospects in the buyer market. They will receive access to members-only publications and marketing tools and resources. And they will
receive access to ongoing specialized information, programs, and updates to keep them up-to-speed on important industry issues that impact home buyers. If you’re thinking about getting your ABR designation in 2018, start by signing up for our ABR class on August 16 and 17. We have two classes in the coming year that count as electives: The Home Sweet Second Home: Resort and Second Home (RSPS) class on December 3 and the Military Relocation Professional Certification Course (MRP) on November 16. Cost to attend this course is $275 for members. To qualify for the designation, designees must also pay REBAC dues, which are waived the first year. The second year and each consecutive year is $110. If you have questions about the ABR course or the ABR designation and how it could benefit you, contact me at msomers@osceola-realtors.com.
