Special thanks to the affiliates below who have pledged their support for association events this year. We tend
to forget how important affiliates are to the association. We would have to increase dues $50 a year if we didn't have affiliate members. Try to imagine completing a real estate transaction without the help of our affiliate's
products and services. Yuck!
Please encourage the affiliates you do business with to support the association before the March 31st deadline. Twenty percent of the proceeds from sponsorships will go towards the FREE DUES DRAWING. We
currently have enough support for THREE FREE DUES DRAWINGS and the number will increase as support increases. The remainder of the sponsorships will defray the costs of the events.

REAL ESTATE INSTUSTRY PREDICTIONS FOR 2012
Real Estate Industry Predictions for 2012
On December 29, 2011, in Marketing & Prospecting, Selling, Social Media, Technology, by Todd Carpenter
Todd Carpenter is the Director of Digital Engagement for The
National Association of REALTORS®, overseeing the association’s communication strategy on its social media channels. He's been a real estate and mortgage professional since
1992 and created the first broker-focused mortgage blog in
2005. Todd is an industry pioneer in leveraging the social
web.
With nearly half of all REALTORS® using social media in
2011, it’s safe to say that it’s no fad. But will further adoption
of social media be a driving force of change for the real estate
industry in 2012, or will other trends prove more disruptive? I
asked several social-media-savvy real estate professionals,
“What new tools or trends will have the biggest impact on the
real estate industry in 2012?” Here’s what they had to say.
Search Becomes More Socialized
I think social search could have a significant impact on how
consumers connect with agents. I will even moderate a panel
about this it Inman Connect next month. Adding a social layer
to the way consumers search for an agent is a reality from general search sites like Google to Industry specific portals like
Zillow and Trulia. “We’ll continue to see advancements in social search.” says Ginger Wilcox, head of industry training
at Trulia. “In 2012, more consumers will want social proof that
their agent is an expert and trusted in their field. Having strong
online profiles with customer recommendations will be essential to gain the trust of connected consumers.”
The Rise of Mobile
Social Becomes Normal
Real estate has always been about location, location, location.
Mobile will make that mantra apply to the Web as well.
“In 2002, we stopped calling it ‘e-business.’ In 2012, ‘social
marketing’ meets a similar fate. Going forward, this is just
‘business,’” says Dan Green, loan officer with Waterstone
Mortgage in Cincinnati and author of The Mortgage Reports.
In some ways, social
media’s mass adoption
now makes it less disruptive. But as this form
of marketing hits critical mass with the agent
population, the companies they work for will
try to leverage it. Green
predicts that, “brands/
brokers will begin actively amplifying their individual agents’
marketing messages. Expect top-down ‘messaging’ within a
brokerage for agent Web sites, blogs, and social network presence.” Derek Overbey, senior social media manager at VerticalResponse, has a similar view, “In 2012, we will see deeper
social integration into every aspect of business, including email, promotions, advertising, and public relations.”
In 2011, smartphones made up the majority of all US cell
phone purchases. “We saw unprecedented growth in mobile in
2011 and will continue to see mobile explode in 2012, especially with smartphones being the norm and inexpensive tablet
options expanding and becoming mainstream.” Wilcox says.
“Mobile solutions for real estate pros will be essential to help
agents connect with mobile consumers.”
Ines Hegedus-Garcia, a Miami REALTOR® with Majestic
Properties, thinks competence in technology will need to become the norm for real estate professionals: “2012 will not be
about the best and newest shiny objects, but instead about
how we, in the industry, are able to stay atop technology and
able to integrate it into our daily business in a way that is useful. The consumer has learned to ask the right questions, and
agents will have to show proof of successful business practices which incorporate technology.
ValleyVoice March/April 2012
Bill Lublin, managing member for the Social Media Marketing
Institute, thinks the rise of mobile will change how consumers
use real estate Web sites and social media, “The increased use
of mobile by consumers will drive agents and companies to
create mobile Web sites (as opposed to mobile compliant), participate in local review sites (to demonstrate their connection to the local community), and provide consumer tips on
location-based services like Foursquare, Foodspotting, Yelp,
etc.”
The ‘Great Data Debate’ Heats Up
“In 2012, listing data and how it is shared across multiple platforms — from IDX to syndication to social media platforms —
will be a hot topic. It could fundamentally change how real
estate agents do business,” says Jay Thompson, broker/coowner Thompson’s Realty and a member of NAR’s MLS Committee. Jay lobbied for the creation of a special subcommittee
to help sort through these issues.

REAL ESTATE INSTUSTRY PREDICTIONS FOR 2012-CONTINUED
Continued from page 12
In 2011, Edina Realty made a decision to withhold their syndication feeds to third-party sites like REALTOR.com, Trulia, and Zillow. Lublin believes the rest of the industry is watching. “Large and small companies alike will be watching Edina to see
what happens as they leave aggregators’ sites in an attempt to drive consumers directly to their company site. If REALTORS® decide to disintermediate third-party sites, the impact on the industry could be immense.” Nobu Hata, 2012 YPN chair and Minneapolis
REALTOR® with Edina Realty, hopes all agents understand the stakes. “I can tell you first-hand that brokers waking up to listing
syndication issues will be heavily impacting us in 2012. It’s a numbers game, and a lead-gen and empowerment issue that all brokers — big, small, indie, franchise — will be gunning for. Here’s hoping that their agents realize this, and advise when necessary.”
A New Focus on Conversion
“Tools and trends will (finally) focus more on client conversion rather than lead generation … social and otherwise,” argues Jeff
Corbett, chief thinking officer for XVentures. I agree. Agents are beginning to understand that social networking is not a numbers
game. It’s more about who is in your sphere of influence than how many. The focus must be on networking and prospecting practices that can convert into real business. As Dan Green predicts, “In 2012, the agents with the best lead-generation tools plus leadmanagement tools win. It’s not just *how* you earn a lead, but what you do with it once the lead’s in your CRM.”
Now it’s your turn. What new tools or trends will have the biggest impact on the real estate industry in 2012?

CAPITOL CONNECTIONS
Below you’ll find the latest updates on VAR’s progress in the General Assembly. Look for Capitol Connections in your
in-box during the GA session, or subscribe to the RSS video update below. Read on to learn about the legislation VAR
will be working on in during this session.
http://www.realtorschoose.com/capitolconnections/
2012 VAR Legislative Agenda
VAR’s legislative package this year comes from three main sources:
♦
findings and work products of the Professionalism Workgroup,
♦
issues remaining from previous legislative sessions, and
♦
new issues brought to the attention of VAR by local Realtor associations.
VAR will sponsor eight bills in the 2012 Session – some of these may change, and some might be combined with others during the
process. We will use these broad topic headings for clarity.
Agency and Professionalism (HB 206). A “catch-all” bill drawn to Title 54.1 – our licensure statutes – that will accomplish several tasks, including any necessary “clean up” from our large Agency Bill from the 2011 Session, as well as implementing the
recommendations made by the Professionalism Work Group. There are other elements of “small fixes” that will be accomplished in this legislation.
Appraiser Management Companies (HB 210). The Federal Dodd-Frank Act requires states to bring Appraisal Management
Companies (AMCs) under the supervision and authority of their regulatory boards for Appraisers. In Virginia, that is the Real
Estate Appraiser Board. Understanding that creating a new regulatory program in Virginia is a slow process, we recommend
taking the lead and beginning it now.
Landlord and Tenant (HB 1110). A bill for Landlord Tenant Act modifications is recommended to handle a variety of smaller
issues that have arisen this year, including: which portions of the Virginia Landlord and Tenant Act are applicable to residential
dwelling units; how rents may be accepted with reservation, and more. While not always exciting, these annual revisions are
generally made with an eye to avoiding costly litigation.
Property Owner Associations and Condominium Act (HB 377). A broad bill for Property Owner Associations and Condominium Act issues is recommended to address issues that have arisen – or lingered – throughout the year. This year’s concerns
include delays in receiving vital information regarding owner occupancy and delinquency, as well as exempting auctioned
property from various provisions. If we are unable to build broad consensus around these issues, VAR likely will recommend
deferring this bill to 2013.
Fairfax Rental Inspection (HB 566). The City of Fairfax has persisted in stubbornly defying the General Assembly on the issue of
Rental Inspection Ordinances. Following our very clear victory in the General Assembly last year, Fairfax City revised its nonconforming ordinance in a different non-conforming way. While negotiations will occur between now and then, a bill to remedy the most recent insult will be introduced.
Virginia SAFE Act (HB 572). This consumer protection measure was required by federal law, but the current exemptions do not
expressly exempt owner financing from the burdensome requirements otherwise placed on mortgage lenders. Most states are
attempting to address this issue this year.
Tenant Utility Liens. In an issue on which much work has been done over the past year, liens placed on property as a result of
nonpayment of utility bills by tenants have caused many negative consequences for owners. A consensus of the affected parties
is near, and a bill to reflect that consensus will be introduced by VAR.
Alternative Onsite Sewage Systems (HB 567) (HB 942). At least one locality has exceeded its statutory authority in requiring
cash bonds to be posted before it will approve alternative onsite sewage systems – in violation of the Dillon Rule. This needs to
be addressed legislatively, while negotiations are conducted with the locality involved.
