Property Management Is A Specialized Discipline

Contrary to popular opinion, property management is not a “piece of cake”
job. Not only is Property Management a
well recognized discipline, it is definitely
a practice that requires an additional, separate body of knowledge, over and above
what was learned to be proficient in residential real estate brokerage and it is not
for the faint of heart! It is, however, all
too easy for REALTORS® to find themselves “helping out” a relocating friend
by agreeing to take on the care of their
property by renting it out for them while
they are gone, and then there is another
friend and then another, etc. These are
just the first steps on the way to potential
problems since your friends may have
different expectations concerning the way
you are taking care of their properties.
Article 11 of our REALTOR®
Code of Ethics is clear that, “The services
which REALTORS® provide to their
clients and customers shall conform to the
standards of practice and competence
which are reasonably expected in the specific real estate disciplines in which they
engage; specifically, residential real
estate brokerage, real property management, commercial and industrial real
estate brokerage, land brokerage, real
estate appraisal, real estate counseling,
real estate syndication, real estate auction,
and international real estate. Realtors®
shall not undertake to provide specialized
professional services concerning a type of
property or service that is outside their
field of competence unless they engage
the assistance of one who is competent on
such types of property or service, or
unless the facts are fully disclosed to the
client. Any persons engaged to provide
such assistance shall be so identified to
the client and their contribution to the
assignment should be set forth.”
It has been recognized that a relatively large number of salespeople, many
who know nothing about section 92 of the
Texas Property Code or Texas Real Estate
Commission (TREC) rules that address
Property Rentals, are managing properties for others, either without their broker’s knowledge or, if their broker is
aware of their agent’s activities, he or she
may not appreciate how they too could be
affected if something goes awry. Both the
Texas Association of REALTORS®
(TAR) and TREC note that the vast
majority of complaints they receive are
property management related.
So, to practice in the property management field education is critical and the
activities in this field are very different
from listing, selling, financing and closing real estate. There are courses directly
related to property management that are
offered through real estate schools in the
San Antonio area and there are written
materials available where you could learn
the ins and outs of managing properties
for other owners. It is, for example,
important to be proficient in things like
collecting and returning security deposits,
maintaining the property, the process for
eviction or ending leases, disbursing
rental proceeds to the owner and the liability you and your owners may face, to
name just a few.
Property Managers, as well as the
owners they serve, need to be aware of
the rules and regulations of the Home
Owners Associations (HOA) regarding
rentals in the communities where they
manage properties, and frequently those
rules can present major problems.
For example, privacy issues have
been questioned by owners, manager and
renters as more than one local HOA has
been requiring that their board must
approve any prospective tenant for a
rental property in the community.
Fortunately this issue has been recently
resolved when newly enacted legislation
in Texas prohibits HOAs from enforcing
that requirement. One issue has been
taken care of but there are a number of
drawbacks that still exist in dealing with
HOAs especially when inexperienced
HOA boards insert requirements whose
legalities may be subject to review.
On the subject of education for
those who wish to take on property management as a specialty there are basic
courses such as Property Management
0811 that provides a perspective of major
functions of property managers and CE
courses like Property Management – The
Property Code that addresses key elements in the Code relevant to property
management and Property Management
Policy and Procedure Manual which outlines what should be included and will
serve as a guideline and model when you
establish your business.
There are also two certification
courses, Texas Residential Leasing
Specialist (TRLS) and Texas Residential
Property Manger (TRPM). Requirements
for TRLS are that you be a member of
TAR and complete four three-hour leasing courses that include: Essentials of
Residential Leasing, TAR Residential
Lease Agreement, Agency Issues
Impacting Property Managers and
Leasing Agents, and Marketing and
Leasing Residential Properties. The
TRPM also requires that you be a member
of TAR and you must complete six threehour courses including: TAR Residential
and Leasing Property Management
Agreement, Residential Evictions, Tenant
and Owners Relations, Maintenance and
Habitability of Residential Rentals,
Statutory Acts and Contingency Planning,
and Property Management Business
Issues. While you may work on the
TRPM courses before completing the
TRLS you must have completed it before
you will be awarded the TRPM. Probably
the most important requirement for this
Certification is that your application
includes certification that you have completed 500 unit-years of experience
acquired cumulatively over a minimum of
five consecutive years (one unit-year
equals management of one residential
unit for one year).
While the aforementioned education and subsequent certifications will
certainly help, many local property managers will agree that membership in the
National Association of Property
Management (NARPM®) is what offers
them the greatest help. If an issue with
2
REAL ESTATE NEWS SOURCE
which you are not familiar presents itself
there are other experienced members of
NARPM® who are willing to share their
knowledge and experience with you and
will offer their help in order for you to
succeed. The local Chapter of NARPM®
is known as the San Antonio Metro Area
Chapter (SAMAC) which holds their educational meetings at the Norris Center 618 NW Loop 410 Suite 103 San
Antonio, TX 78216. For meeting, contact
or just more information visit the website
at

In reality, a brokerage that combines residential real estate sales and real
property management can be a very good
business model since it addresses a fact
that all REALTORS® recognize –real
estate business is cyclical. When the market for property sales is down it seems the
leasing business is riding high and provides the brokerage with a steady source
of income from rentals, and in reverse,
when property sales are hot, the rental
market slows down. In today’s markets
for San Antonio and its surrounding
areas, where sales are running high the
housing inventories are so low, having a
large number of rental properties on hand
have the potential to provide an additional source for properties available for sale.
On a closing note, if you would
care to share your experiences with
HOAs please send them to me at
[email protected]. I am sure others
may have had similar problems and could
benefit from what you have to say. No
names will be used!

President, Women’s Council of REALTORS
No surrender… How to win in
that multiple-offer situation!
The extreme lack of inventory
in the San Antonio area often means
the best properties receive multiple
offers. I am sure many of you have
experienced the frustration of losing
out on the perfect home. As we all
know, properties newest to the market
are the likeliest to get multiple offers
so when showing properties you need
to be prepared to act fast. You also
need to prepare your buyer to pay list
price or even more. The days of seller’s concession are quickly becoming
a thing of the past. Also remember not
only does the listing agent need to
find someone ready to buy the seller’s
house but they also have to make sure
the deal sticks. You must do everything possible to give the impression
that if the offer is accepted you will
soon be sitting at the closing table.
Consider putting more money down
as earnest money or better yet,
increase your amount of the option
fee.
As luck would have it, we have
experts in our industry who will be
part of a Panel Discussion at the
Women’s
Council
of
Realtors
Business Resource Luncheon on
August 5th. The panel will touch on
the items above and provide additional insight on how to better position
your buyer in this environment.
We are currently seeking nominations for the 2016 Women’s Council
of Realtors Line Officers. If you have
ever considered getting involved, this
is the perfect opportunity. You may
access the nomination form on our
website www.WCRSanAntonio.org.
We are excited about a couple
of upcoming events taking place in
October. First we have the Movie
Night which is a fantastic event where
WCR, CRS, GRI and YPN will partner together to host a movie night.
Tickets will be available exclusively

I would like to personally invite
you to attend our Business Resource
Luncheon, August 5th at The Club at

Have a safe summer and I look

Industry Sound Off
By Justin Landon,
Governmental Affairs Director
What Proposition 1 Means
to Texas REALTORS®
The 84th Legislative Session of the
Texas Legislature was a landmark for
property owners and REALTORS®.
While many positive changes were made
to state law, perhaps the most important
will be up to Texas voters this November.
Passed as part of SJR 1, the Texas legislature approved Proposition 1 for the
November ballot. If passed, Proposition 1
will
increase
the
homestead
exemption and constitutionally ban real
estate transfer taxes.
In real terms, Proposition 1 boosts
the homestead exemption from $15,000 to
$25,000, the first increase in two decades.
The increase will provide meaningful
property tax relief immediately to Texas
homeowners. Increasing the homestead
exemption was a hotly contested item
throughout the session. Some advocated
only for business tax relief while others
felt reducing property tax revenue would
harm schools. Ultimately, the legislature
agreed that increasing the exemption
would make homes more affordable.
Additionally, Proposition 1 was crafted to
keep school districts whole. No cuts to
education funding will come about as a
result of Proposition 1.
Proposition 1 also includes landmark language that would constitutionally
protect the transfer of real estate from taxation. Many states and local jurisdictions
tax a percentage of the home sale. Called
a “transfer tax,” this fee is paid to a government entity and can reach as high as
two percent of the sales price. Banning
“transfer taxes” has been a top priority of
REALTORS® for years. With Proposition
1, Texas voters have the opportunity to
cement their state as the most attractive
place in America to buy and sell property.
Over the next few months there will
be a lot written about Proposition 1, both
positive and negative. There are some out
there who believe that the homestead
exemption is fine where it is. There are
some who believe taxing real estate is a
great idea. The best way to counter that
argument is to educate about the importance of a healthy real estate market to the
Texas economy. The Texas Association of
REALTORS® and the San Antonio Board
of REALTORS® will do their part to get
that message out.
7
But Texas REALTORS® have to do
their part too. On Tuesday, November 3,
Proposition 1 will go before the Texas voters for approval. Cast your vote to make
sure the voice of Texas REALTORS® are
heard loud and clear in favor of
Proposition 1.

What is it that sets Stewart
Title Company apart from other title
companies in San Antonio and why is
that important to REALTORS®? It
might begin with the company's
longevity in the real estate industry
but it is most likely perpetuated by
the fact that all those affiliated with
the company consistently operate
with common goals that result in a
more than satisfactory outcome for
the buyers, sellers and REALTORS®
they serve.
Stewart Title has been serving
its customers now for more than 120
years (100 plus have been in San
Antonio) and during that time, the
company has successfully weathered
the ups and downs of a cyclical real
estate market. Continuing to be an
industry leader, however, usually
requires serious introspection to
learn what factors are trending
toward positive outcomes and what
practices need to be tweaked to
ensure more successes. All their
associates understand that everyone
in the company is in customer care
and sales, including executives, business office staff, closers, or business
marketers. For 2014 all worked
together to set their plan, determined
how to work it and then measure the
outcome as the year progressed.
According to Debbie Keeland,
EVP,
Director
of
Business
Development for the San Antonio
Division of Stewart Title, when people know what's important, when
they really “get it”, everything they
do is focused and strengthened by the
unity of their efforts. They become
aware that working in harmony is
critical if they expect to attain their
goals, and that the general attitude
needs to be "How can I help?" and
not "What's in it for me?" Stewart
recognizes that everyone wants to
feel good about their company, who
they work with and what they accomplish together as a team. Stewart’s
associates know they have to be
aware of and accountable for their
own behaviors and that they have to
do the absolute best for customers all
the time.
Stewart also recognizes that
they have to be exceptionally visible
in the community, need to encourage
their associates' growth and development, and must be sure to recognize
their achievements. It's the little
things done consistently that make
the difference and knowing that it’s
important not to become complacent.
The San Antonio Business Journal
recently honored Stewart Title by
naming them one of San Antonio’s
Best Places to Work. This honor is
telling as it results entirely from
employee feedback on factors such as
working with people they like and
respect, work that challenges them to
stretch and grow, having a strong
positive culture that supports meaningful work and their access to learning and development opportunities.
According to Debbie, employee
attitude has to be set on positive so
they are geared for positive outcomes. They need to make proper use
of the many products, services and
resources they have, stay engaged
and have fun while they are at it! To
prove that this attitude works, the
15
outcome for 2014 showed that they
were able to not only attain their
goals, but to exceed them, and most
important to Stewart, maintain a high
customer satisfaction index. The philosophy of Division President Eddie
Gammill is that he wants Stewart
associates to truly enjoy what they do
every day.
Now, well into 2015, Stewart
Title is off and running again and is
fortunate to be in a position to grow.
In the past year they successfully
expanded into the Alamo Heights
market area and moved the existing
office in Canyon Lake to larger facilities. For next year they are on track
to add two more offices in viable
areas. Armed with their success in
2014 and determined to continue the
pace by setting new goals, while continuing to provide the services their
customers require, Stewart aims to be
recognized as the ultimate resource
for information. For example, the
upcoming CFPB TILA-RESPA integrated disclosure will bring about
many changes and Stewart Title is
well prepared and positioned to serve
their customers. Stewart has been
providing training on this subject for
more than a year now and when you
visit
http://www.stewart.com/en/cfpb.html
you will find a wealth of educational
materials which they have developed.
The theme going forward continues
to be "A Team Above All - Above All
A Team."

Real Estate NewsSource’s Top Ten Tips
for Press Release Submissions
• Remember the classics: who, what, when, where, how
and why. If your press release covers all those bases,
chances are you’ll get it published.
• Verify all facts & figures. Names and titles should be
spelled correctly and double check phone
numbers
and e-mail addresses.
• Be concise. Editors look for press releases that can be
published without too much editing. Stick to the basic
facts and never submit more than 200 words
• Do not include too many different topics. Stay on point.
The shorter, the better.
• Have someone review the copy for typos, errors or
repetition before you submit it.
• Remember, we do not say where people use to work in
our press releases.
• Remember, the editor reserves the right to edit copy for
style and space available. If total control of the content is
required, it’s best to purchase an ad.
• Add your contact information (name & phone number)
at the top of the page in case the editor needs to call to
clarify any details.
• E-mail submissions are preferred. Send your release to
[email protected]
• Please remember, all approved press releases will be
published on a space-available basis. If your press
release is time sensitive, be sure to send it in on time so
every effort can be made to publish it. Please note time
sensitivity at the top of any submission.
