President’s Message
Beth Campbell
SPRING MARKET IS IN FULL SWING!
It’s been a whirlwind 1st quarter for 2016—
quite the difference from even last year in our
market, our Association activities, and real
estate in general! The Association committees are in full swing and busy filling up the
calendar with great education, seminars, activities and information for our members. Make
sure to mark your calendars for ALL upcoming
events in plenty of time. I’m pleased to report
that our 2nd quarterly membership meeting was very well-attended in April and we learned
some valuable information from our appraiser’s panel! Our 3rd membership meeting will be
taking place July 13th, so watch for information that will be coming. As always, we will have
free gifts for attendance, food, and door prizes!
I’d like to share with you some statistics I researched on our first quarter real estate performance. In our local Stark County market, the numbers are up from the first quarter of 2015.
Last year there were 784 single family residential sales in the first quarter and this year there
were 821 sales. The median-type home did not change at all, which gives us a great opportunity to compare “apples to apples.” The median type home both years was built in 1961 with
three bedrooms and two baths. The median days on the market
also did not change, staying steady at 50 days. However, the median square footage went from 1,573 square feet to 1,600 square
feet. And, according to NAR and OAR, “inventory volume is
slowly increasing, but demand is growing faster!”
Not only is the health of our market improving, but SCAR continues to grow! We went from 110 member offices to 115 since the
beginning of 2016, and we have 39 new members! My personal
goal this year is to encourage all new members to participate in
our association, so make sure you introduce yourself whenever
you have the opportunity.
In the meantime, ENJOY this market and let’s all hope it continues for the rest of 2016 and beyond!

Affiliate Committee
I’d like to start our committee update with a request for any affiliate who is interested in getting more involved with the association
to contact me directly! I will be happy to share our meeting dates with you and include you in our emails. (Christine Schell 330526-2017, [email protected]). The affiliates (Your Partners in Business), look for opportunities to partner with SCAR
members, and are always open to suggestions and requests. We recently supplied drinks and snacks at the Core Law program, and
are sponsoring boxed lunches for the upcoming Homebuilding from the Ground Up, which is a joint program with BIA. Our next
SHAKER is scheduled for May 17th, and we will supply and pass out door prizes at the upcoming Breakfast in the Park. We will
sponsor the upcoming Mayor’s Panel, RPAC and R-Day programs as well. We continue to look for more ways to interact with our
association and have new events on the horizon!
Communications/Technology Committee
In the Communications/Technology Committee, we are continuing to develop classes to educate our members on today’s technology
driven world. We are currently exploring a class on REO auction bidding sites like Auction.com and Hubzu.com. Feel free to contribute to this class or volunteer to help lead the discussion. We’ll be planning classes on NEOHREX in the future. The committee
is also working on a new website. We’re looking for technology-minded individuals to help with our committee. Do you or someone
you know have a social media mindset? What about an understanding of internet and technology? We’d love to have you in our
ranks! We meet once a month at SCAR headquarters. Email the committee at [email protected].
Tech Tip: The GPS app WAZE on your phone is a great way to get around. It’s an app that is continuously changed by it’s users.
It will inform you of construction zones, closed routes, accidents, and even speed traps in real time! You can even let others know
what is happening on the road with one button.
Consumer Outreach Comittee
The Consumer Outreach Committee discussed and approved participation in the upcoming Saturday May 7th Habitat for Humanity
dedication of one family. The Committee also approved future Habitat Basket participation and fundraising. Committee members
will be visible and ask for SCAR member’s financial support. We have the funding to purchase the May basket from past fundraising efforts. Following this, however, we will need to resume our efforts to raise money so we can continue this project (on behalf
of all of us at SCAR!) It was confirmed that there is a large upcoming group of new Habitat homeowners under construction at this
time. On May 7th at 10 a.m., our Committee and SCAR join in celebrating homeowner Charlotte’s hard work and determination
during a special home dedication celebration on site at 1920 Miami Court NE, Canton, Ohio 44714. Charlotte and her 4 year old son
Nathan will soon enjoy a decent, affordable home that was purchased/renovated through the Habitat for Humanity Preserve-A-Home
program. We invite all to attend as we present another “Welcome Home Basket.” Consumer Outreach also discussed future grant
writing so that we may consider a park bench(es) in a needed location, to be determined.
Legislative Affairs Committee
At the March Legislative Affairs meeting, the committee discussed the results of the recent survey sent out – they were grateful to
all who took the few moments to complete. We had a great response. Linda Bramer from Northwood Realty was chosen to receive
the $50 restaurant gift certificate. The details of the May 24 Mayor’s panel were put into place. This panel of five invited Mayors
will be at Stark Parks Exploration Gateway (same building as Perry Library) on 12th street beginning at 4:00 p.m. Details for our
upcoming RPAC event were also starting to take shape. An RPAC subcommittee meeting will be held soon to put everything into
place. The committee also talked about the Candidate breakfast in conjunction with the BIA in October. More details will be decided in the coming months.
Professional Services Committee
We have been very busy planning our CE classes for this year and, especially, Breakfast in the Park at Dogwood, North Canton which is coming
up May 18th at a new time, 9:00 a.m. We are hoping this later start time
will make it easier for more REALTORS® to attend. We are also teaming
up with the BIA on several events this year. On May 3, the BIA is hosting
a class “Home Building From the Ground Up” for 3 CE’s, and a “Dusty
Shoe” tour of new construction in Scotsbury, Jackson with lunch for all
agents.We are adding more classes for the rest of the year that are still in the
planning stages.

Case #12-11: Advertisements by Individuals other
than the Listing Broker
REALTOR A placed a full page ad in the Sunday
supplement of the local newspaper. In the body of the
ad were pictures of several homes and their addresses.
At the top of the page was the following: “We’ve sold
these – we can sell yours, too.”
The following week three complaints were received
from other Board Members alleging that REALTOR
A’s ad was in violation of Article 12. Each of the complaints noted that REALTOR A had participated in the
transaction as the successful cooperating broker who
had located the eventual purchasers, but the complaints
also claimed that REALTOR A’s claim to have “sold”
these properties was false and misleading since none
of the properties had been listed with him and, in one
instance, the sale had yet to close.
Since all the complaints involved the same advertisement, they were consolidated to be heard at the same
hearing before a Hearing Panel of the Professional
Standards Committee.
Reputation
and
Reliability
At the hearing,
REALTOR
A defended
his actions on
the basis that
although the
properties had
been listed with other brokers, he had been
the “selling” or “cooperating” broker and was
entitled to advertise his role in the transactions.
The Hearing Panel agreed with REALTOR
A’s reasoning in their decision, pointing out
that Article 12 as interpreted by Standard
of Practice 12-7, provides that cooperating
brokers (selling brokers) may claim to have
“sold” the property and that such claims may
be made by either the listing broker or the
cooperating broker or by both of them upon
acceptance of a purchase offer by the seller.
The panel also noted that REALTOR A could
have shown that he had “participated in” or
had “cooperated in” these transactions and
also met his ethical obligations.
You built and keep your reputation
by providing the very best service to
your clients. For Pillar To Post Home
Inspectors it is exactly the same.
You can rely on us to exceed your
expectations on every inspection, for
every client, every time.

Each office independently owned and operated.
The panel’s decision also indicated that
during the existence of any listing, the
cooperating broker’s rights to advertise
and market flow from the listing broker.
However, claims of this nature were
not advertisements of the properties but
rather were advertisements of the broker’s services. The only limitation on
the ability of a cooperating broker to
claim or to represent that a property had
been “sold” was that the listing broker’s
consent would be required before a
“sold” sign could physically be placed
on the seller’s property prior to closing.
News
OAR Spring/Legislative Conference in Columbus
Travel Dates: April 18-20
April 18 began the three-day OAR Spring/Legislative Conference
at the Marriott Renaissance in Downtown Columbus. Directors
from Stark County Association of REALTORS® traveled for an
informative and engaging time. The travelers included Beth Campbell, Debi Zeren, Dee Matthews, Lenny Lawrence, Joe Bridges,
Joey Marino, and Lisa Yelichek. In attendance were also Mike
Kozinski, chairman of Legislative Affairs, and Rich Cosgrove,
Chairman of RPAC.
During their stay, SCAR Directors met with Senator Scott
Oelslager and Senator Frank LaRose—they were able to have dinner with Senator Lou Gentile, who represents Carroll County. According to Lisa Yelichek, CEO, “It was great having
Senator Gentile all to ourselves to talk about areas of real estate that are affected by government voting. He also learned a
lot from us which was refreshing.” Both Yelichek and Beth Campbell, President of SCAR, found this opportunity to be a
great chance to talk about relevant issues such as the Ohio housing market, oil, and gas drilling.
Another highlight of the trip was the session with Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, who is passionate about states being transparent in regard to financials. As a transparent state, Ohio financials are available to all on www.ohiocheckbook.com.
‘Choosing REALTOR® Champions’ was another well received session dealing with how to successfully interview candidates for state and local offices. According to Lisa Yelichek, this session enabled SCAR Directors to bring the ideas back
to the Legislative Affairs Committee for the upcoming candidate
interviews next month.
As always, networking was one of the leading aspects which made
for a successful conference. Lenny Lawrence, who is running as
District 3 Vice President, was able to speak at the conference. Beth
Campbell states, “We were proud to hear Lenny give his introductory speech for his run and we hope with our support and the support of other boards, he can be successful in September!” We wish
our own Lenny Lawrence the best.

A “Buyer Beware” Message for your Clients and Customers
by Lisa Yelichek, RCE
Chief Executive Officer
In this age of technology that we
live in, it is important for you as
REALTORS® to educate your
clients and customers on how
and when they should say certain
things. We are hearing of houses being bugged and conversations – whether not complimentary regarding aspects about the
home or the owner(s) or while
speaking to an agent about pricing and what they can and cannot do with regard to purchasing
a home – are being heard and
used against the potential buyers.
Please, as badly as this sounds,
assume the worst. Instruct
your clients and customers to
not say anything whatsoever
about the home or what their
intentions are with regard to
any sort of possible purchase
until they are safely out of the
home. This could be a
possibly money saving piece
of advice.
Education/Event Flyers
“Understand that networking is an
ongoing process, not a discrete event.
Success comes from consistently
making new contacts, following up,
and keeping in touch.”
