President’s Message
 RPAC Call for Action - Housing
Opportunity Modernization Act
John Morris, NWAR
Well, summer is definitely
here - all I need to do is
look at the increased
vehicle traffic.
I hope
everyone has a super
summer selling season.
Big changes arrive July 1st
with the introduction of
the new WB-1 as a
mandatory form. On June
30th the old forms must be
used but on July 1st. There
is no overlap time to get
used to the new forms as
there has been in the past.
Important
changes
include new Disclosure to
Clients and Delivery of
D o cumen ts
se ctio ns.
Fixtures will now have
much better definitions,
earning a commission has
been expanded and a
Buyer’s Financial Capacity
has been added that does
not make the listing firm
responsible
for
this
function. The Protected
Buyer has also been
expanded, and the Sellers
Termination of a listing
now
includes
a
requirement of written
notice from the seller.
 New WB-1 & WB-42 forms -
This is the form we use
most often, so I urge each
of you to become more
familiar with the changes
by reading the June issue
of the WRA magazine.
You can view samples,
more articles and videos
about this change on the
web at www.wra.org
under Resources -> Top
Links -> Form Update
Resource.
Happy Sales to You!

Beware Cybercriminals!
At a recent meeting of association executives, NAR attorneys noted
that cybercrime targeting REALTORS and their customers and clients
is on the rise. Hackers have been using tools to capture REALTORS’
email passwords, which they then use to commit wire fraud by
using that agent’s email address to instruct buyers to wire money to an
account controlled by the hacker. Once the client sends the money,
it’s gone forever. To protect against this, we suggest the following:
1. Make sure you use a strong email password and use a different password for each of your
assorted online accounts. You can use a password manager to safely store all your
passwords so you only have to remember one master password (make it strong too!).
2. Use two-factor authentication where available (eg: Gmail, Facebook, Twitter) - this will
send you a text verification whenever your account is accessed from an unknown device.
3. Inform clients of your communication practices and advise them never to send money unless
you call them first. Consider calling or texting them a random “safe word” that you tell them
you will include in the email so they can confirm the email is indeed coming from you.
4. Avoid using public Wi-Fi without a firewall and up-to-date antivirus on your laptop/phone
and ideally, use a VPN service (that encrypts all traffic) when using public Wi-Fi.

President’s Message
Bonnie Byrnes, GNMLS
Even though I was promised one “Get out
of Jail Free” card in which my newsletter
would be magically written for me (by a
little elf named Lon or Matt), I was politely
encouraged a few days ago to pick a
different month! In other words, everyone
is just as busy as I am, which is a good
thing. It was suggested that I start by
finding an apt quotation pertaining to my
topic, and let those creative juices flow
from there.
The main item on our to-do list this month
is to properly appoint our next year’s MLS
Board of Directors, after the June 2nd
election resulted in a three-way tie of
willing candidates.
So after a quick
‘googling’
of
politically -themed
quotations, I’d like to reference Theodore
Roosevelt who said that “The most
practical kind of politics is the politics of
decency.” While I can’t do much to that
effect on a national level, within our board
we have determined the need for a run-off
election between the tying candidates, in
fairness as well as in accordance with our
by-laws.
Bottom line, it is extremely important that
all GNMLS Participants respond to the
email sent earlier this week and request a
ballot NO LATER THAN June 30th. That
ballot must be returned by mail or in
person to the MLS office by noon July 15th,
and results will be tallied at the July 21st
GNMLS board meeting. I don’t know if
this will be a comfort to those elected or
those who are not, but when looking for
funny quips I came across a Henry Cate
VII quote that said “The problem with
political
jokes
is
they
get
elected.” Should I be taking offense?? In
all seriousness though, your voice is
important on this matter and we want your
vote counted.
Lastly, I was also pleased to be part of the
Personnel Committee that meets annually
to review our two esteemed employees,
and I hope my participation helped to
cement our partnership with Matt and Lon
well into the future. In short, I believe
they are invaluable to us! Please let your
NWAR and GNMLS board representatives
know if you feel the same.
Enjoy the rest of the summer fellow
Realtors!
Bonnie
Drone Update - Good News for REALTORS!
Indep. Contractor Safe Harbor
Just this week, the FAA released new rules governing
drone usage that make real estate photography possible
without hiring a professional drone photographer! The
existing Section 333 waiver that required a licensed pilot
to operate drones for commercial use will soon become
obsolete. Starting in late August, operators will need to
meet these 5 criteria to fly drones for commercial use:
Wis. Stat. Ch. 452 now includes an independent contractor
safe harbor, but there are conditions a real estate licensee
must meet to be qualify as an independent contractor.
Licensees must have a written independent contractor
agreement specifically stating the licensee is not being
treated as an employee for state or federal tax purposes. If
you do not have a written independent contractor
agreement with each of your agents, please consult your
tax advisor or legal counsel about any tax and legal
ramifications.
WRA also recommends reviewing your office policy manual
and removing terminology referring to independent
contractor agents as “employees” or managing brokers as
“broker-employer.” The statute refers to the relationship
as “firm” (sole proprietor or licensed business entity) and
“licensees associated with the firm.”

5.
Keep it under 400 feet (or w/in 400 feet of a building)
Keep drone in line of sight & over the party using it
Can fly only during daylight
Must be 16 or older
Must pass a FAA-approved aeronautical test
More details about the testing requirements will be published in the coming months. To view details and a full

Thank You RPAC Investors!
By RPAC Chair Cheryl Eskridge
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the contributors for our very successful RPAC
fundraiser; it is with everyone’s help we make this event a success. Whether you give an
item for auction, purchased an auction item, participated in the 50/50 or the iPad drawing,
your contribution is most appreciated. Special thanks to Shelly Cole, Denise Goldsworthy
and Julie Winter-Paez for helping during the auction. Also thank you to Matt and Lon for all
they do during these busy events. It is all our Members together who make up a successful
event and we are off to a great start, but will still need your help when you pay dues in
September.
For those who did not attend the auction, you still have an opportunity to invest in RPAC
when you pay your dues in September. Also remember if you give $100.00 or more, you
can put it into Direct Giver and decide how your money is spent. We as an organization
need the political clout we have through WRA to ensure the best legislation for our buyers,
sellers, and agents. Every donation is appreciated no matter how much. Thank you all!
Lastly, RPAC has an important Call to Action open to get the Senate to pass HR 3700, the
“Housing Opportunities Through Modernization Act”, that was already passed by the
House with a vote of 427-0 with NO objections. Please use the link at right to join today!

MLS Memo

[email protected]
SentriLock Security: The security of
homeowners’ property is a mainstay
feature of electronic lockboxes. They
record the date and time of entry to the
property by any authorized person.
When you enter as an agent, you
assume responsibility for the party that
you are allowing to enter the home. It
is imperative to the integrity of the
system that you not share your
SentriCard with anyone else - not
another agent, assistant, spouse,
homeowner or vendor; there are
proper ways to give them access.
When your SentriCard is inserted in the
box OR when you generate an access
code with your SentriSmart app, then
you are being recorded as opening the
key compartment at that time. Never
give your personal codes or SentriCard
to another person to access a property.
If they need access, give them a oneday code and enter that person’s name
in the system as the assignee.
MLS Tip: Use the free SentriSmart app on
your smartphone to easily create a one-day
code and text or email it to the requester.

Emeritus Winner: Congrats to NWAR
Officer Patty Werner who just earned her
Emeritus pin for over 40 years as a
REALTOR! This was apparently her final
professional goal, as Patty received her
pin at this month’s meeting and promptly
resigned to ride off into the Arizona
sunset. Patty’s contributions to NWAR
have been immeasurable, and this
organization owes her a debt of gratitude
for her exceptional efforts. Please come
back to visit us when you can, as you will
be sorely missed by many including
yours truly. Best wishes to you and Bob
for a well-deserved permanent vacation!
Don’t Feed Pets! One of the issues
brought up recently was a seller
discovering that a REALTOR (or their
buyer) fed a seller’s pet during a
walkthrough. This is unwise given that
many pets have specific diets and/or
medication regiments, so feeding them
could upset the seller and cost you a
sale. Even worse, you could cause the
animal harm and open yourself up to far
worse consequences. Just don’t do it!
AE Tip: Lon just released a revised MLS
Policy & Procedure manual that settles
questions like Modular vs Manufactured.

Lunch and Learn is on break for the
summer, and we will soon schedule
the next season of classes starting in
October through next May. We
opened this poll in the newsletter
last month, but to date we have only
two responses.
ZipForm Plus & Digital Ink Resources
Please take the poll at goo.gl/tN9INB to let us know
which class ideas interest you. You may also add your
own ideas in the comments at the bottom of the poll. We
appreciate you taking the time to help us better serve
you!
On a side note, if you are an expert in a particular real
estate-related topic and would like to teach a Lunch &
Learn, please contact the board office to let us know.
Thank you!
It has been a busy month for your AE, as I have been all over the
NWAR area hosting ZipForm Plus & Digital Ink demos for
REALTORS after learning this was a hot topic. So far we have
reached more than 60 with another class coming up this week in
Phillips, and I was cut short at a class Monday in Manitowish
Waters. I therefore am planning to hold a mid-summer Lunch &
Learn on July 13th from 11am-1pm for those who haven’t yet
attended and for those who were cut short at Monday’s class.
Please register at goo.gl/CVpO7t to attend; those who cannot may

2016 NWAR/GNMLS Golf Outing & Election Dinner Recap
As promised, we hand-picked the one perfect day amid a wet couple of weeks for the 2016 NWAR/
GNMLS Golf Outing. With nearly 70 golfers, zero pesky bugs and over 125 dinner guests, we once
again had a whopping turnout for a wonderful day at Inshalla Country Club in Tomahawk. The
chicken was delicious even 2 hours later (when your AE finally ate), and the crowd had nothing but
compliments for the rest of the smorgasbord of vittles.
Our generous golf sponsors hosted fun mini-contests and collectively rewarded golfers with over
$800 in team and individual skills prizes. The Jim Tait Memorial Cup went to the team of REALTORS
Jon Long and John Osero with Affiliates Shelly Cole and Pat Hugunin. Our putting contest helped
Mike Meyers fill the cup with a payout of $275. The night however belonged to Lisa Fricke who not
only won one of the five $50 cash door prizes, but also snagged BOTH the iPad Air 2 AND the 50/50
drawing for RPAC. All told, Lisa absconded with over $300 cash and a new iPad! Thank you to
everyone who attended and contributed to the day’s events whether as donors, sponsors or bidders!
In addition to the above, we found time to install a fine group of new REALTORS, present anniversary
pins to several veterans and present NWAR Family Scholarship awards to Kali Boldebuck (daughter
of Charity) and Meg Nedden (daughter of John). Once again a huge “THANK YOU” to everyone who
helped make this event special! Special thanks to emcee John Morris, auction host Cheryl Eskridge,
scholarship presenter Marcia Pluess and putting contest host Jennifer Nerva as well as the folks who
helped count ballots and dole out the auction prizes. As noted below, GNMLS is currently holding a
run-off election to settle a 3-way tie. See the next page for more photos and a photo gallery link!
