THE PILOT — SOUTHERN PINES, N.C.

When you need to know... talk to Mickey DeBernard

Dear Community,

What Is a REALTOR®

www.NewHeritageRealty.com E-mail: Mickey@NewHeritageRealty.com

that is made available to all of its members. In Moore County this service is known as the Pinehurst-Southern Pines Area MLS, Inc. Through the MLS your house is shown on the Internet at www.realtor.com - the largest internet-based website of homes for sale. REALTORS® have access to educational opportunities and professional training in real estate specialties. In these courses, REALTORS® learn to develop skills in guiding clients through the real estate transaction process. NAR offers advanced educational opportunities to its members that allow REALTORS® to offer a more diverse array of services with such accredited sub-specialties as buyer’s representation (ABR®), residential real estate expertise (CRS®), Internet readiness (e-PRO), and senior housing issues (SRES). NAR’s legislative advocacy on the national level supports interest rate deduction and other federal policies that help keep housing more affordable and makes housing a great investment. In Moore County, REALTORS® participate in housing programs that provide tools and resources for promoting affordable housing at local, state and national levels. Sound national housing policies empower home seekers to be part of the American Dream of home ownership. I hope that I’ve provided you with an answer to the question, “What is a REALTOR®?” while at the same time illustrated what a member of the Pinehurst-Southern Pines Area Association of REALTORS® can do to assist you in buying or selling your next home.

What is a Realtor®? First, let me tell you what a REALTOR® is NOT. A REALTOR® is not the same as a “real estate agent.” The term Realtor® is not a generic term; it is a registered collective membership mark that identifies a licensed real estate professional who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). Let me explain, there are approximately 3.2 million licensed real estate sales agents in the United States, and 2.0 million of them are considered “active licensees,” but only 1.3 million have chosen to become members of NAR by joining a local Association or board of REALTORS® like the PinehurstSouthern Pines Area Association of REALTORS®. Only REALTORS®, as members of NAR, subscribe to a comprehensive Code of Ethics that complements our North Carolina licensing requirements for real estate salespersons. The REALTOR® Code of Ethics establishes standards of practices and obligation of REALTORS® to their clients, the general public and other REALTORS®. Real estate professionals who are not REALTORS® do not subscribe to this Code of Ethics. Also, REALTORS® must take a refresher training course on the Code of Ethics every four years. New members of NAR are required to take orientation classes on the Code of Ethics. A REALTOR® has access to a wide range of marketing tools to use to promote your house to the home-buying public. The most important of these is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), a listing of homes for sale in a designated area

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2011 By John Pandich Moore County Home Builders Association President

Green Your Home with a Certified Green Professional

More and more, home owners that are looking for ways to save energy and be kind to the environment when they build, remodel or renovate a home are seeking help from a Certified Green Professional (CGP). Home builders, remodelers, designers, and contractors with the CGP educational designation understand green building.

Today, there are more than 5,000 CGPs in the business of helping consumers build a new home or remodel their existing one. These professionals know how to combine good, cost-effective building science with an ever-expanding selection of products and materials to build or remodel a home with sustainability in mind. They are trained to incorporate

energy, water and resource efficiency, improved indoor environmental quality and sustainable and locally sourced products into their projects – and to teach you how to best take advantage of these features. Trying to build or renovate a home to be green can be a complex, confusing process without some professional guidance. Terminology such as low-E windows, dual-flush toilets, tankless water heaters and ENERGY STAR ratings doesn’t make a lot of sense without some explanation, and with the ever-growing number of products on the market today promoted as “green,” it’s hard to know which ones will actually achieve your goals. A CGP uses the National Green Building Standard, the nationally approved benchmark for the design,

construction and operation of green homes, to help you understand all the factors that should be considered when building green and work with you to decide what is appropriate for your project. They will help you choose the right products and advise you on how to ensure everything works the way it is designed to and operates at maximum efficiency. You can be certain a member of the building industry with a CGP designation is a trained professional. CGPs must complete three days of classroom instruction and have at least two years’ building industry experience before they earn the designation. They also are required to adhere to the CGP Code of Ethics and complete

12 hours of building industry and greenrelated continuing education every

three years. If you are building a new home, a CGP understands how to best take maximum advantage of the natural contours of the land and how to preserve water quality on site. For example, they will design a home’s window placements to either promote the sun’s heating effects in the home in colder climates, or offset it in warmer regions. They’ll recommend trim, cabinets and flooring that don’t use harmful solvents and sealers, and they’ll show you how you can save water inside and outside your home. Many CGP remodelers and builders en-

courage home owners to have their new homes, additions, or renovations certified under the National Green Building Standard, which involves two independent, third-party inspections by trained verifiers to ensure compliance. Some CGPs take their education further by seeking the Master Certified Professional designation, introduced just this year for builders and remodelers with longstanding green building education and experience. As green building practices expand over the next few years the number of Master CGPs is expected to grow as well. To find a CGP in the our area, contact the Moore County Home Builders Association at (910)944-2992 or go to the MCHBA designation directory under the Moore Green Council tab at www.mchba.com.

Acquisition creates global residential real estate and employee relocation services leader

(Southern Pines, NC) December 7, 2011 – Brookfield Residential Property Services (“Brookfield”), a Brookfield Asset Management Inc. affiliate, announced that it has purchased Prudential Real Estate and Relocation Services (“PRERS”), a recognized leader in employee relocation and real estate franchising from Prudential Financial, Inc. Prudential Relocation Services operates as Pricoa Relocation in Asia and Europe. William P. Saunders, Jr., owner of Prudential Gouger O’Neal & Saunders Real Estate said, “I am pleased with this announcement and the combination of the two forward thinking real estate groups.” He continued saying, “Prudential Real Estate has given us the opportunity to reach out to the nation for our clients, now we have been given an even larger worldwide audience.”

Kay Beran, president of Prudential Gouger O’Neal & Saunders Real Estate, stated that she is looking forward to working with a larger network for relocation and referrals. “It will be business as usual but on a larger scale. We are excited by the opportunities this merger brings to the table.” The addition of PRERS to Brookfield’s existing residential real estate franchising and employee relocation services businesses establishes Brookfield as the world’s second largest employee relocation services provider and the third largest residential real estate franchising business. Under a licensing agreement, Prudential Real Estate brokerage affiliates will be able to continue to use the Prudential brand based on the terms of their franchise agreements. “This transaction creates a global em-

ployee relocation services and real estate franchising leader,” explained Graham Badun, CEO, Brookfield Residential Property Services. “We have now increased the breadth and depth of our service offering, keeping pace with the evolving needs of our clients around the world.” A NORTH AMERICAN & GLOBAL LEADER Through its various brands, Brookfield’s residential real estate franchisees are now present in all 50 U.S. states, 10 Canadian provinces, Mexico and Portugal, with a network of approximately 80,000 real estate agents, 2,800 real estate brokerage locations and more than $150 billion in annual residential real estate transactions. U.S.-based Brookfield Global Relocation Services moves nearly 85,000 families in and out of over 125 countries around the world each year. With the acquisition, more

than one-third of Fortune 100 companies are its clients. In addition, Brookfield is now the largest provider of relocation services to government, with long term relationships with the U.S. and Canadian governments. The acquisition greatly strengthens Brookfield’s existing U.S. business and results in the expansion of its operations in nine countries, with a rapidly growing presence in China, Brazil and India. “Today, Prudential’s Real Estate and Relocation Services businesses join a global company with a track record of over 100 years of success,” said Earl Lee, President of Prudential Real Estate and Relocation Services. “We’re excited to become part of a company that is focused on and deeply immersed in the real estate sector and is in the business for the long-term.” Earl Lee will con-

tinue to lead the U.S. real estate business, and Rick Schwartz, President, Brookfield Global Relocation Services, will assume responsibility for the combined global relocation services business. Brookfield’s parent company, Brookfield Asset Management, is a global asset manager with approximately $150 billion in assets under management. Brookfield is co-listed on the New York and Toronto Stock Exchanges under the symbol BAM and on NYSE Euronext under the symbol BAMA. ABOUT BROOKFIELD RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY SERVICES Brookfield Residential Property Services is a leading global provider of real estate and relocation services, analytics and knowledge.
