Presorted Standard U.S. Postage PAID Austin, Texas Paid Permit #715

n 2016, RealtorMag, the official publication of the National Association of REALTORS (NAR), reported that real estate was ranked the number two “happiest industry.” Some of the benefits of the job include making your own hours and the ease at which you can create the professional culture you desire. There is one dirty secret, though. The majority of individuals who become real estate agents never even make it to their fifth work anniversary. There has always been an impression that

REALTORS swim in money. Reality TV shows about beautiful brokers getting filthy rich off of an inventory of stunning NYC condos and Malibu mansions make it difficult to understand how the median annual income for agents in the U.S. was less than $45,000 in 2016. That means that half of all REALTORS take home even less. We wanted to know what separates successful brokers and agents from the sea of those who struggle or don’t make it at all. To that end, we spoke with several REALTORS who have survived the half-decade mark and created a list of habits and tips that got them where they are today.

A lot of professionals start each workday looking at a to-do list. But according to many of the busiest agents, the only way to start your day is to work the phones. Dyron Taylor, a broker/owner at The Dyron Taylor Group, suggests spending two hours per day on the phone generating leads. “I’m a huge believer that a closed mouth doesn’t get fed,” says Taylor, who is certified in short sales and foreclosures. Most agents don’t like this part of the job because we’ve become conditioned to communicating with friends and colleagues through email, text and social media. Cold calling strangers can make even the most confident person quiver with discomfort.

Featured Event July 23rd, 11 a.m. — 2 p.m. Austin Board of REALTORS

TREPAC Water Fest

TIP: Keep it simple. Taylor recommends introducing yourself and asking the potential client if she is looking to buy or sell. If you get a no, ask if she knows someone who is. “If you can’t do this simple task, no one is going know you’re in the business of helping them find a home or sell a home,” says Taylor, a Platinum Top 50 finalist. Gregory Tran, owner of the Gregory Group, recommends making no fewer than 100 calls every day. That comes out to about four hours of phone time. One way to find your legs in this exercise, says Tran, is to start by calling people you know. By the time you make your first call to someone officially outside of your circle, you should already have worked out many of your jitters and kinks. When you look at the numbers, it’s easy to see that there’s a lot business to go around in Travis, Hays and Williamson Counties. The Austin Board of REALTORS (ABoR) published results of a survey indicating that in the first half of 2017, there were more than 4,000 new homes on the market here, which is about 15 percent higher than 2016. Of those 4,000 homes on the

block, only 450 were for sale by someone other than a real estate professional. According to a report by NAR – also from 2016 – “Eighty-nine percent of home sellers were assisted by a real estate agent.” So don’t look at it as cold-calling 100 strangers a day, but instead, it’s like a scavenger hunt for clients with the end goal of building your referral business. In that same survey, NAR found that 64 percent of sellers who worked with an agent found that agent through a referral by friends or family.

#2 Always Follow Up It’s not enough to simply introduce yourself to as many potential clients as you can. The brokers we talked to also stayed in touch with every buyer or seller they worked with, and those who only presented an opening to follow up later. It’s understandable why someone would be hesitant to make a call out of the blue to someone he or she just sold a home to or found a home for in the last year. But here’s why you should: According to NAR, 25 percent of surveyed homebuyers went back to the agent they

Williamson County Assoc. of REALTORS®

Putting a Face on Real Estate since 1995

President’s Column By Suzanne Gantner • 2017 President

Are you involved?

oday, I want to talk to you about breaking the idea that 20 percent of our members do 80 percent of the work at the association level. Between serving on a committee, teaching a class, serving on the board of directors, writing an editorial for the local paper or just making an investment in TREPAC, we have a way for each of our 1,700 members to get involved in the industry and make a difference. No matter your “Why”, we have the “How.” At WCREALTORS, we have 13 different committees for you to serve on; each of these committees is overseen by our Board of Directors and makes a difference not only in the Association, but in the community as well. First we have our Governmental Affairs and Affordable Housing Committees. The Governmental Affairs Committee oversees the actions proposed by the city councils and planning and zoning of the nine communities in Williamson County as well as the actions coming from the county com-

missioners. This committee also interviews potential candidates for each of the elected officials and supports candidates who have in mind the best interests of homeowners and the real estate community. You will see many of our committee members advocating on sign ordinances, streets/roads, trees, business development, park locations and economic development possibilities. Our Affordable Housing Committee is dedicated to bringing affordable housing to Williamson County and educating both REALTORS and the public on these issues! Want to have some fun with our Events Committee? This is the committee that is responsible for the Annual Super Bowl of Builders, East/West Side Bus Tours, The WC Wild Rive Scavenger Hunt (coming this October). This committee also works with the Golf Committee to put together our Annual Tournament. Our Community Service Committee is responsible for the Annual Williamson County food drive every July. In addition, the Community Service Com-

www.myRealtyLine.com mittee works closely with the Williamson County Habitat for Humanity. Are you all about professional development? Education, education, education. In order to survive in this business, it requires education of many kinds. This committee focuses on classes, speakers, designations and certifications that our members need to be successful. This committee is responsible for the creation of the award-winning Williamson County Specialist Certification. We have classes ranging from Septic courses to Technology training and everything in between for development and advancement of your real estate career. It is a very important resource for our members. The TREPAC committee is another political-based committee. Its focus is to create a TREPAC Culture within the committee and help our members make investments in their business! These funds help support the Governmental Affairs initiatives of financially supporting candidates who are REALTOR friendly! TREPAC backs local, state, and national candidates and elected officials who have a proven track record of protecting private-property rights, preserving the dream of home ownership and supporting the vitality of the real estate industry. Have you made your TREPAC Investment for 2017? Ask us how a $45 investment in your business can save you over $10,000 annually! Our Membership Committee is vital to the efforts of the Association. They welcome new members, invite new members to our events and help retain our members by planning mixers, events, luncheons and more. We also have a Marketing Task Force

July 2017

that is vital in supporting the Association’s marketing efforts to “get the word out” and bringing new ideas to the WCREALTORS and WCLife websites and social media. Now that WCREALTORS has an ownership in CTXMLS, we also have an MLS committee which meets monthly to make sure that our members are getting the most from their CTXMLS subscription! Have you been involved in a committee before? Are you looking to shape the future of the Association and serve on the board? We are accepting applications to serve on the WC Board of Directors through September 8th – visit our website and learn more about becoming a WC Director. If none of this is of interest you, you can always help the Association with articles, website blogs and ideas! The Association has a standing publication in both the Round Rock Leader, and the Williamson County Sun, as well as opportunities for quotes and snippets in other various news stories. We are a busy crew of professionals and members who strive and thrive in this wonderful county. If you want to be more involved, join us, come let us entertain you, educate you and better your life and career. Join a committee, get involved, attend classes, come hear from our elected officials about our cities, the future of our economy, or come eat breakfast with a bunch of brokers; we want to hear your input and suggestions. See you around soon. RL

President’s Column

he HBA just wrapped up a successful 2017 Parade of Homes in The Peninsula at Rough Hollow — welcoming more than 8,000 attendees to the event. Yet, it’s already time to start preparing for the 2018 Parade of Homes where Travisso in Leander has been selected as the site for the premier custom home tour. Travisso is a true master-planned community located near northwest Austin’s high-tech employment center within the acclaimed Leander school district. Presented by the development team behind Austin’s renowned Steiner Ranch, Travisso offers an exceptional family lifestyle for homeowners looking for a one-of-a-kind custom home. Travisso is now offering lots in Mirabella at Travisso — the community's most coveted lot positions. This section is the home of the HBA of Greater Austin's 2018 Parade of Homes which is slated to open to the public on Labor Day weekend and run through September 16 next year. With 180 custom home sites planned, Parade builders can leverage this opportunity to establish a longstanding presence in this high-growth area. Travisso’s homes are nestled in dramatic hill-

sides yet are a short commute to both downtown Austin and major employers in Austin’s tech corridor. The community is surrounded by hiking trails, parks and more than 350 acres of open Hill Country. The HBA is currently seeking builders to take part in the 2018 Parade of Homes. The deadline to sign up is July 31st. Builders who sign up benefit from real-deal prospects, special lot discounts and other incentives as custom build customers await to live in this prestigious community with proven growth. The HBA’s Parade of Homes offers custom builders an opportunity for unmatched visibility in the local market. Past Parade builders boast of dozens of qualified leads that help sustain their business annually, the opportunity to showcase their work to the general public where they wouldn’t have the opportunity to do otherwise and raise brand awareness to make a name for themselves in the market. If you are a custom builder or know of a one who would be a good fit for the 2018 Parade of Homes, contact Kathy Mayer at 512-243-8583 or kmayer@taylormorrison.com. RL

You head to the bank with confidence. And you send all your funds to an account belonging to a cyber-criminal who has been monitoring your email exchanges for weeks, waiting for the right moment to step in and hijack your money. Your funds are gone, you can’t buy the house (which has to go back on the market), and everything you have left is in a moving truck. Don’t underestimate how common this scenario has become. Title companies in our market area alone are seeing dozens of wire fraud attempts each month. When funds are misdirected, victims have to act fast.

You’ve worked through the logistics of planning a move involving kids, pets, and a lifetime accumulation of stuff. Your closing is a few days away. Then, you get an email from your REALTOR, title company, or loan officer (with standard logo and signature) that says the following: “Congratulations, you’re almost there!

Here are two suggestions: • The best protection at this time is to bring funds to closing via cashier’s check. Online security systems currently lag behind cyber fraud schemes, and the old-school paper cashier’s check is one way to keep your money safe as you complete your purchase. • If a wire is the only option, follow strict protocols about verifying wiring instructions exactly. Do not ever confirm an instruction from a phone number given in an e-mail, regardless of how bona-fide the email appears to be.

July 2017 Women's Council of REALTORS

President’s Column By Becky DeButts • 2017 President

What makes you stand out?

eing a REALTOR today we are in competition with more than the REALTOR next door. We have the all mighty internet. How do we compete? I believe that it must do with you! There is a saying “Just be You.” And, this is true. There is only one you. Even so, there is a purpose for a specialty. No matter what you choose to be your difference, your specialty, your expertise, it’s yours. We make this happen by being knowledgeable not only with the ins and outs of our industry, but by also having community, political and social skills. We need to have a good wardrobe of hats to change into when we are with different clients. How do we become knowledgeable? It’s not just taking the required classes we need to keep our licenses up to date. It must be about being on the forefront by attending broker forums, economic updates, city updates, city council meetings, HOA meetings and looking for new and innovative classes and joining networking groups. Another thing that makes you memorable

www.myRealtyLine.com

is remembering others, preferring them, listening to them, making them feel like they have your full attention. Past clients need to have that kind of touch, I believe six to 12 times per year, to keep you in their minds. I believe the top thing that makes us stand out is our branding. And we at Women’s Council of REALTORS take this very seriously. It is why at our August 17, 2017 Luncheon, we will be hosting Grace Lanni. Her topic will be “What Does Personal Branding Have to do with Your Yearly Business Plan?” Any successful REALTOR builds a business plan each year to provide focus and clarity to his or her day. We're familiar with the power of 'The One Thing' used throughout many industries. If your one thing is 'lead gen' or 'marketing' or 'networking' - creating a personal branding strategy that dances alongside your business plan allows: • an individual REALTOR to stand out with his or her ideal audience • consistent and tool-driven communication to reduce time • compelling content which your target

Putting a Face on Real Estate since 1995

audience will share with others and magnify your lead gen marketing (they are promoting you!) All attendees will be able to sign up for Grace's "All About That Brand" eBook & free master class online seminar to get started on designing 2018's personal branding plan. Grace is amazing and is the owner of RSE Consulting Business, a growth consultant and she writes a blog called the Branding Glass. This is basically our mission statement at Women’s Council of REALTORS: Profession-

als advancing others as professionals and leaders in business, industry and the communities they serve. We are also looking for others who have these values and are looking for a place to be encouraged and equipped and to do the same for others. Women’s Council of REALTORS’ August 17, 2017 luncheon starts at 11 a.m. and goes until 1:30 p.m. We will meet at Dave & Buster’s, 9333 Research Blvd. #A600, Austin, Texas. If you would like to be on our mailing list you can contact me at bdebutts@att.net. RL

By offering the latest design trends and features, Scott Felder Homes strives to meet the unique needs of each home buyer. “We build in the most desirable locations in over 18 communities in the Austin area alone,” says John Jones, vice president of operations for Scott Felder Homes. “We look to continue to expand our reach through self-development or acquisition of finished lots as new master planned communities become available with amenities that are unmatched.” When it comes to helping their clients build the home of their dreams, Scott Felder Homes offers an array of options, all while maintaining green floor plans and energy efficient designs. Home types include oneand two-story options in a variety of different elevations and styles, including Traditional, Craftsmen, Cottage, Farmhouse, and Tuscan. “We can accommodate any buyers’ need, from a move-in-ready home or a ground-up build that captures all the wants and desires they could wish for in their home,” Jones says. Additionally, Scott Felder Homes has

allowed clients to make custom changes to their plans. “We are probably the closest to a custom builder that you will find in residential construction,” Jones says. “We have allowed everything from custom secondfloor master suites to redrawing bedroom and bathroom counts. Although we continue to create options as buyers needs and markets change, some of our design options were created by our customers, and we make those options available for future buyers who may have similar interests.” Because of the vast number of options and customization opportunities, some clients may find the home building process to be overwhelming. At Scott Felder Homes, we have a professional sales staff to help guide clients through the contract pro-

www.myRealtyLine.com cess and really see what works best for the buyer at hand,” Jones says. “Also, we have an award-winning design studio where buyers get to visit with professional designers to tailor the perfect selections and finishes for their individual taste. This is truly one of the areas where we excel.” Through a customer-centric approach focused on customer service and customer appreciation, Scott Felder Homes is involved in every stage of the process, from setting expectations during the contract to onsite meetings during construction to a final walkthrough. “Without our valued customers, we would not exist and we recognize this,” Jones says. “We have many steps in the process that ensure a buyer understands what is going on and sets expectations for both sides including buyer and seller. It is our policy that we want to close homes that have zero outstanding items and are 100 percent ready for a buyer.” Ultimately, it’s Scott Felder Homes’ commitment to quality that has enabled more than three decades of success. “We have a true partnership with our trade partners who provide high-quality construction.

Rough Hollow Lakeway A S S O C I AT E S I N P R O G R E S S - A d v e r t i s e r P r o f i l e b y K a t i e A g n e s s

panning across 1,887 acres in the scenic Hill Country, Rough Hollow Lakeway is a master-planned community that overlooks Lake Travis. While there are 21 diverse neighborhoods within Rough Hollow, the community still maintains a strong close-knit neighborhood feel. “At Rough Hollow, it’s all about the lifestyle and being a part of the community, which we refer to as the Rough Life,’” says Staci Wimbush, vice president of marketing for Legacy International and Rough Hollow.

The ‘Rough Life’ is a term used to describe the lifestyle at Rough Hollow, which incorporates high-end amenities, endless activities and an active community. Throughout the year, residents enjoy access to unparalleled features and services, such as lake access with a Yacht Club and Marina, a water-themed community center with multiple pools, an event pavilion with kitchen, and scheduled activities and concierge services. “Rough Hollow is a ‘Lakestyle’ community that sits along three miles of shoreline with

www.myRealtyLine.com Austin’s most prestigious yacht club and marina,” Wimbush says. “All residents can enjoy lake amenities with complimentary kayaks and paddle boards, or they can partake in our full calendar of year-round activities that accommodate a vast array of interests.” At Rough Hollow, residents range from young professionals and families to empty nesters and buyers of secondary lake homes. “Our custom and semi-custom builder partners provide a diverse range of home offerings, styles and price ranges for families of all sizes and stages of life,” Wimbush says. Ranging from $300,000 to more than $3 million, Rough Hollow has 14 semi-custom builders and a few select, Peninsula Preferred custom builders. “The community has a wide variety of home styles and home site sizes, including twin villas, single-family homes and lakefront custom homes,” Wimbush says. “Rough Hollow offers three options for homebuyers to choose from: move-in ready homes, speculatory homes in various stages offering customization opportunities, and complete custom homes.” In addition to the quality homes and unparalleled amenities within the development, Rough Hollow is located within in a soughtafter school district and in close proximity to shopping and other extracurricular activities. “Known for exemplary academic and athletic standing, Rough Hollow residents have

access to coveted Lake Travis ISD schools, including Lake Travis Middle School and Lake Travis High School,” Wimbush says. “We are also nestled in between world-class golf and tennis with a longstanding partnership with ClubCorp, and only a few minutes away from shopping and dining at the Hill Country Galleria and Oaks of Lakeway. Developed by Lakeway-based Legend Communities in partnership with Crescent Communities, Rough Hollow Lakeway received eight 2017 Home Builders Association of Greater Austin MAX Awards, including Master-Planned Community of the Year for two years in a row. And with new neighborhoods opening and builders breaking ground, more and more Austinites are learning what it’s like to live the ‘Rough Life.’ RL

previously worked with to buy or sell a home. Further, 70 percent of sellers said they would “definitely work with the same agent again.” Tip: When making follow up phone calls, it can still be difficult to break the ice. Taylor suggests asking, “How is that property that I helped you get in to?”

#3 Don’t Have Free Time Wendi Slaton Anderson, a broker with Roots Real Estate, has been in the business for 15 years. She gets new clients almost entirely by referral now. But even she has a few down days a month. “If I’m not busy doing deals,” says Anderson, “I’m training. I’m always in the middle of an online class. There are so many different designations out there. I take everything I can.” Tip: You don’t have to have money in the bank or a steady stream of income to take classes. Title companies offer free courses all the time, or for a small $10 to $20 fee. Even after a morning of lead-gen phone calls and then a 60-minute online course, oftentimes an agent in his or her first year or two will still have a sparse to-do list starting after lunchtime. Anderson says this is when you should be taking property and neighborhood tours to learn everything you can about the area and work on developing a specialty. By going to websites like www.myrealtyline.com and www.abor.com, you can find a neighborhood or home tour most days of the week.

#4 Work Weekends You may be wondering what you could possibly do on a Saturday or Sunday since you can barely keep yourself busy Monday through Fri-

day. The weekends are a perfect time for holding an open house. According to Tran, named a Top Rookie by Keller Williams, and this year a Platinum Top 50 REALTOR, “If you’re working full time as an agent and don’t have any business, you should be doing an open house every single Saturday and Sunday.”

#5 Work with a Mentor At some point during your early years in the real estate industry you will likely find yourself applying for a part-time job to bring in a steady stream of income. That’s actually one point of no return for many agents, according to the experts we spoke with. Rather than signing up to deliver meals for UberEats or work in an Amazon warehouse around the holidays, agents should use their networking skills to get a job in the industry. Tip: Anderson, also a Platinum Top 50 broker and a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), says, “Assisting a busy broker is an excellent option for new agents because there’s so much to learn.” She suggests finding an agent that can help expedite the learning curve with you. A lot of people still believe that selling houses is a fast track to financial rewards. And while this is true for a small percentage of REALTORS, most have to work really hard to make it to five years. When Tran got started in real estate, he worked an hour or two a day, but still had the mindset that he was going to make a lot of money. It’s only when he shifted his thinking did things change. “I came around to believing that if I wanted to be successful, then I needed to treat this like a career,” he said. Making the decision that real estate will be your livelihood is only half of the formula for success. The other half is honest, hard work. RL

sionals looking for a family-oriented development where they can set down roots. George ers to stake their claim in the Liberty Hill enclave this year. The Liberty Hill High School sweethearts were drawn to Santa Rita Ranch’s north village, Tierra Rosa, with its many amenities, parks and trails. “It’s a very quaint neighborhood for singles and young families — very family oriented, very safe,” Natasha said. “We loved the location, and the amenity center is great. There are three pools, a kiddie park and two huge water slides — which I don’t think anyone else has.” More importantly, Santa Rita Ranch seemed like a close-knit community, something high on the young couple’s list.

“We wanted to live where we have neighbors who will look out for us and that we look out for,” George said. “Here you see people

walking their dogs, their are kids playing — you can just do more here than in other communities.” Austin-area natives, George and Natasha both attended Concordia University. The couple wanted to stay close to where they grew up, and to their family and friends. To help them find the right home, they turned to another Liberty Hill High graduate and close friend, Austin Davis — now a REALTOR for RE/MAX. “I’ve known Natasha and George for 12 years,” Davis said. “George and I used to do a lot of hunting together in the area near Santa Rita Ranch. We all love it up here.” “Austin is a wonderful REALTOR,” Natasha said. “He works hard for all of his clients and he listened and really searched for what we were looking for.” Out of the 20 homes Davis showed them, they kept coming back to 604 Inspiration Drive in Santa Rita Ranch — something that didn’t surprise him. “It’s a fantastic neighborhood, one of my favorite areas to show houses,” Davis said. “The amenities are a huge attraction.” Their new home checks all of the boxes. It has the kitchen Natasha wanted, which was one of the first things that excited her about the home. They both liked that it was open to the family room, creating a large living area. George loves the spacious covered patio and is looking forward to entertaining. RL

“is that reaching agents using a tool like this is far more cost-effective for a builder because the agents are ready with a pre-qualified client. “Our key partnerships to this point have

membership,” added Gaul. “This partnership with RPR expands our reach to agents, and that should be exciting for all parties – agents, brokers and builders.” RL

HBA of Greater Austin: City of Austin’s new code needs innovation, simplicity to succeed

BuildersUpdate.com has reached an exclusive agreement with REALTORS Property Resource (RPR) to provide RPR with new home construction data for REALTORS to access nationwide. “RPR is very excited about this new partnership,” said RPR CEO Dale Ross. “Our goal is to provide REALTORS with the latest in high value property information to assist their clients and customers at all levels of the real estate transaction. By adding new home construction data through Builders Update, agents will have access to an important resource in today’s rapidly changing market, while being protected in the sales process.” According to Bill Gaul, CEO of Builders Update, new home data availability for agents is often spotty and difficult to acquire. The agreement will initially make about 100,000 new home listings available to agents through RPR. “We are extremely pleased to announce

that we have worked out an agreement with RPR, a system that is both technically advanced and highly regarded in the country as the ‘go-to’ resource for licensed agents,” said Gaul. “I was immediately impressed after receiving a presentation about RPR capabilities and functionality, however, a depth of new home construction data was missing.” Bob Seeman, VP of business development for Builders Update added, “Agents want to sell homes, brokers want to make money, and once agents realize how easy it is to use this data provided to RPR in their presentations, they will have the potential to increase their earnings. Agents will now have 24/7 access to thousands of new home listings and builders will be able to make their homes available to hundreds of thousands licensed REALTORS working with pre-qualified buyers who would consider a new home.” Builders typically spend a great deal of money and time trying to woo consumers di-

The City of Austin released its first draft of CodeNEXT, the City’s first stab at its effort to rewrite its land development code. The HBA, in its effort to lend industry expertise to City staff, has reviewed in detail the nuances of the first draft language and offered feedback to improve the code for the benefit of the entire Austin community. “It is our hope that the final version of CodeNEXT will improve the city in which we live and work, and that the HBA of Greater Austin can be an ally and a resource to ensure that everyone can afford to live, grow, and thrive in our community”, says Emily Blair, CEO of the HBA of Greater Austin. “We looked at this draft with the lens of the Imagine Austin comprehensive plan,” says Blair. In 2012, the City of Austin adopted the Imagine Austin Plan to memorialize the vision for the future of our city. In this plan, the City outlined six core principles for action that the City should take to enact our shared vision. The HBA task force identified several major

opportunities for improvement with the 2017 draft, and the HBA of Greater Austin is committed to following the entire editing process to assist throughout the code’s evolution. The items identified by the task force are significant and several of the themes that rose to the top during the review process include: • Complexity continues • Restrictions abound • ”Missing middle” is still missing • Need more “small” housing solutions • More innovation needed As builders, we believe that CodeNEXT, in its final form, can provide the tools to meet our city’s goals as outlined in Imagine Austin. This requires innovation, a shift from what was to what can be. By focusing on building a compact and connected city and simplifying the new code, our collaborative efforts can resolve many of the issues found in this first draft to create a new code that we can all be proud of: one that provides housing opportunities for everyone.
