SEVRAR MEMBERS HONORED WITH REALTOR ® EMERITUS
Any person who has held membership in the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) as a REALTOR®,
REALTOR-ASSOCIATE®, or a combination of both, for a cumulative period of forty years in one or more associations
of REALTORS® is eligible for REALTOR® Emeritus status. Upon the approval of the Board of Directors of NAR, no further
payment of dues is necessary to NAR by the member association of which the REALTOR® Emeritus is a member.
By Barney Thornton, SEVRAR Administrative Assistant / Rental Coordinator
EVRAR is pleased to present four honorees that have received the distinguished REALTOR® Emeritus status; Frances Rang Chenoweth, Virginia
Reichard, Harold Lindell, and Doice Shults.
Frances Rang Chenoweth truly exemplifies having “done it all” within the Real
Estate profession. She was first licensed in 1961 and joined the Yuma Board of
REALTORS®. In 1971 she relocated to the valley and became a member of The
SouthEast Valley Regional Association of REALTORS® (SEVRAR). Mrs.
Chenoweth served on the Board of Directors as a Director from 1978 through
1979, continued as Vice President during 1980 to 1981, and was voted on by
her peers to take the role as Board President in 1982.
The years during 1981 to 1983 proved to be extremely busy for Mrs.
Chenoweth. She was a Director for the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service
(ARMLS), served on the Executive Committee for the Arizona Association of
REALTORS® (AAR) and was a committee member for the National Association
of REALTORS® (NAR).
In addition, SEVRAR members awarded her REALTOR® of the Year in 1981 as
well as the REALTOR® Appreciation Award in 1982. Mrs. Chenoweth’s dedication to her profession clearly makes her a worthy recipient for the Emeritus
Award.
Virginia Reichard was first licensed in 1960 while residing in Pocatello, Idaho.
Just a few years later she moved to Tucson, Arizona and joined the Tucson
Association of REALTORS®. It was during 1968 that Mrs. Reichard made yet
another move—to the valley of the sun at which time she joined the SEVRAR.
Mrs. Reichard held the distinct honor of Sales Woman of the Year for the association in 1969, 1970, 1971, and 1972.
It was in 1985 she served as President of the ARMLS. Throughout her membership with SEVRAR she has participated in and chaired several committees at
the association. Remaining active in the real estate community, she was a Designated REALTOR for thirty-eight years and still works as an active REALTOR®.
2 ι SEVRAR News Magazine December 2005
On February 6, 2005 she celebrated with her husband Rod, their 50th wedding
anniversary. They have had the fortune to work together over the years while
passing on their dedication and love of real estate onto their three daughters.
It brings them great pride to see their daughters working in the real estate
industry today.
Harold Lindell was first licensed in Willmar, Minnesota. He was a member of the
West Central Board of REALTORS® from 1960 to 1965. After moving to Colorado he joined the Fort Collins Board of REALTORS® and was an active member
for thirty years. During his term as Chairman of Fort Collins Multiple Listing
Service, his influence afforded all REALTORS® the ability to fully utilize the
multiple listing service. It was during 1981 that Mr. Lindell served as President
of the state association, the Colorado Association of REALTORS®.
In addition, he served as a Director for the National Association of REALTORS®.
During his term Mr. Lindell took a special interest with NAR’s voting policies. His
work was instrumental in making changes. Today these changes have given all
REALTORS®, not just Designated REALTORS® the right to vote. Today, Mr.
Lindell is still an active member of the SEVRAR since joining the in 1987.
Doice Shults was first licensed and joined the Mesa, Chandler, Tempe Board of
REALTORS® in 1954. As a developer he was responsible for building one of the
first “strip” shopping centers in the downtown Phoenix area. The project was
located on 16th Street and Osborn. At that time the shopping center filled to
capacity with a total of nine businesses. Today, he still owns commercial buildings and remains busy managing a variety of properties in his own portfolio.
Mr. Shults would like to recognize to his most valued secretary, Sue Stead. She
has been a loyal and trusted employee for forty years.
We recognize your dedication—a dedication that has brought each of you distinguishing careers. Congratulations to each of the honorees for your Emeritus
Award.

PERSPECTIVE
As I write this article I find it amazing that the year has already
passed with Christmas just around the corner. This has been a banner
year for Real Estate across the country, as well as for our members.
The Changing Market
Duane
Washkowiak,
2005
SEVRAR President
By Duane Washkowiak,By2005
SEVRAR
Board
President
s we review the events of this year I would like to ask each of you to consider what you will do to become involved with the association or community organizations during 2006. REALTORS® have a
vested joint interest in each of the communities we serve. It is apparent that no one cares more about
these communities than the professionals I have had the honor of working with over the years.
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) will continue to focus their efforts in this direction as well.
Their public awareness campaign features the positive impacts REALTORS® have each day. I encourage
you to share the story of the contributions, involvement, and support you’ve given to the communities
across the valley. (Simply e-mail Wyndi Ballard at SEVRAR, [email protected].)
In coming months, I suspect that we will be reading in the newspapers that real estate is changing and the
sky is falling. Let me remind you that we are merely returning to a normal market after explosive increases
in price. If you review history, it would show that we typically carry over 20,000 listings to as many as
28,000 listings at any point in time dating back to the early 1990’s. The market for 2006 is still strong (per
most experts) and it needs to slow down as those rates could not be sustained.
I would recommend that each of you to refer to recently published reports from NAR. Including over 130
markets—the Anti-Bubble Report provides a picture of specific areas for the future. As you meet people
during the Holiday season, share the details that point to the fact that real estate is still a great which will
continue to be for a significant period of time. These reports can be viewed at the NAR website
www.REALTOR.org.
SEVRAR recently held the annual Board elections with more candidates on the ballot than any time in the
recent future. Having just attended the recent NAR Conference & Expo in San Francisco, I am encouraged
that we are closer to solving the Health Insurance issue and Group coverage for our members. We are
stronger as an association than ever before, but we need to be more vocal individually. When we ask for
you to write your elected officials we need to have more response through the NAR Action Center to move
these issues forward. I know that the e-mails you receive are many, but in order to be successful you must
respond to these requests to make a difference.
In reviewing the year I would like to point out some recent accomplishments:

• Completion of an agreement with Tech Hotline. Tech Hotline provides complete FREE technical support for all members (call 888-618-3400). I encourage you to take full advantage of this service—
some members have reported that this service has saved them hundreds of dollars.
• Renovation and modernization of the front lobby to assist members more efficiently.
• Relocated and expanded the SEVRAR RealMart Store (remains on site near the conference center).
• Updated the technology equipment used in the Conference Center.
• Worked with the Arizona Association of REALTORS® (AAR) in rolling out the Homewards Program.
This program will be an opportunity for you to be a speaker to train at local schools.
• Completed the Habitat for Humanity Home in Chandler with the SEVRAR Affordable Housing Committee. Also obtained approval to build the next home in Tempe.
• Partnership with ASU for free client ticket packages.
• Focus on serving members from staff through each Board member.
• Higher level of involvement with AAR and NAR committees.
• Improved communication vehicles—SEVRAR News Magazine, FastFacts e-mail & re-design of website.
We will be meeting shortly to plan the 2006 year as well as reviewing survey data as a part of that process.
Our focus will continue to be on member needs and on how best to improve involvement. I also want to
remind you that the annual dues billing has been sent out—and you will note that we are asking for each
member to contribute their fair share of just $30. towards RAPAC. This is the least expensive form of insurance for your business and it is less than a dime a day. There are many other issues to be fought and it is
in your best interest to contribute. (70% of the donation is retained in the State for local issues.) I ask
each of you to consider making this contribution to help make a difference.
It has been a pleasure to serve as your President this year and I wish each of you a great Holiday Season!

AFFILIATE CORNER
The SEVRAR Affiliate Committee has had
a great year. During 2005 the committee
supported and sponsored several events
for the REALTOR® community.
By Anna Bowers, 2005 Affiliate Committee
Chairperson
would like to acknowledge and thank some special members of the
committee for their contributions which will continue through the coming year. And, I am pleased to present the 2006 Affiliate Committee and
Sub-Committee leaders:
2006 SEVRAR Affiliate Committee
Mari Winkfein, Co-Chairperson
Kent Rini, Co-Chairperson
Patrick Ritchie, Treasurer
Affiliate Sub-Committees
Laurie Allen, Chairperson for the Annual SEVRAR Family Picnic
Gerard Brokerhof, Chairperson for the Annual REALTOR® Play Day Golf
Tournament
Bob Branstetter, Chairperson for the REALTOR® Expo
Mandy Jones, Chairperson for Affiliate Orientation
AFFILIATE MEMBERSHIP CONTACT GUIDE
This year the committee published its first Affiliate Membership Contact Guide.
This guide includes a complete list of all the Affiliate members, a special section
for quick name and phone number look-up, and highlighted section for each
Blue Ribbon Affiliate member. The guide will be available to all new and existing REALTOR® members. Published (with the help of Wyndi Ballard, Director of
Marketing) and updated quarterly, please be sure to pick up your copy the next
time you visit the SEVRAR office.
SPONSORSHIPS
In addition, many of the Affiliate members sponsored several events and education classes during 2005. This included ALL the new REALTOR® Orientation
classes, and designation classes such as GRI, CRS, & ABR. The Affiliate committee will continue to help SEVRAR’s Education Committee by sponsoring all
the upcoming classes.
A variety of Q&A sessions were held during 2005; from technology, a panel of
multi-million dollar producers sharing their secrets, to a special presentation by
Dr. Jay Butler—these informative Q&A session will continue in 2006. The sponsorships provided by the Affiliate committee enable the REALTOR® community
and members to attend for free with lunch provided. Watch for details upcoming issues of the SEVRAR News Magazine as well as the weekly Fast Facts email.
As the Affordable Housing Committee gets closer to their goals of raising funds
to build the next Habitat for Humanity home in the southeast valley (Tempe)—
the Affiliate committee looks forward to sponsoring the hospitality tent again in
2006. This hospitality tent is a key part of keeping the build crews on task—
hydrating and feeding volunteers from ground breaking ceremony to its completion.
GOALS FOR 2006
The Affiliate Committee has a full schedule planned for 2006. Our goal is to be
supportive of the SEVRAR REALTOR® community and to bring value to each
member. When seeking goods and services I want to encourage you to utilize
your Affiliate’s. They work very hard and many times (when they have exceeded their company’s budget) spend money out of their own pockets to provide fun, educational, and rewarding events that benefit the entire SEVRAR
community.
Please take a moment to look at the names on the Blue Ribbon Affiliate list and
considering using them in your next transaction. There are many different
types of businesses to fit a variety of your needs. These Affiliates deserve your
business. My request would be, PLEASE USE THEM. I can not think of a better
way to thank them for all they do for YOU the membership of SEVRAR.

SEVRAR GUEST COLUMN
Increase Your Tax Benefit
with a Solo-K Plan
By Matt Fox
argely as a result of the bursting of the tech bubble at the end of the 20th
century and the recessionary period that followed, the unemployment rolls
swelled dramatically. Many of the people who found themselves on the
outside looking in were long-term employees with years of experience.
When these dislocated former employees applied for other jobs, they often
learned they were “over-qualified” and were immediately out of the running.
After a couple of these unfortunate interviews, many out-of-work individuals
turned to an option they should have considered from the beginning: selfemployment. As a REALTOR®, you may be one of these entrepreneurs, and a
solo-K plan may be just what you’re looking for.
A solo-K plan is a 401(k) plan whose eligibility is limited to businesses that have
no employees other than business owners and their spouses. What is so attractive about a solo-K plan is that it permits business owners (even self-employed
individuals) to make before-tax contributions to the plan both as an employee
and as the employer. The tax savings, not to mention the opportunity to increase your retirement savings, can be terrific.
SEVRAR SCHOLARSHIPS
AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS
The SEVRAR Board of Directors is continually looking for
new ways to “raise the bar” for our association members.
One way to help achieve this is through the recently
established SEVRAR Scholarship Fund.
ach year SEVRAR budgets reimbursement funds for members who have
taken various approved education courses. This also includes any Arizona
Association of REALTORS® (AAR) or National Association of REALTORS®
(NAR) meetings or events where a cost is involved.
Each member must meet the established criteria to be eligible for a $100 Scholarship reimbursement. Applicants must be a REALTOR® or Affiliate member in
good standing with SEVRAR for a minimum of six months with active participation on a committee, or serve on the SEVRAR Board of Directors. Proof must be
provided to confirm that the course was paid for and completed by you. Only
non-company expenses will be considered. Requests for reimbursement must
be completed and turned in within forty-five days from completion of the
course date and must be verified by either company presidents or Designated
REALTORS.
To illustrate how this plan might work for you, let’s assume your self-employed
earnings as a REALTOR® amount to $100,000 in 2005. As a participating employee in the plan, you can defer up to $14,000. In addition, you can contribute
25% of your includible income to the plan as the employer. (If you are selfemployed or a partner, your includible income is your self-employed income
minus the amount you contribute to the plan.) The plan contribution you can
make as your own employer is, therefore, $18,616.
So, based on your $100,000 self-employed earnings, you can make combined
contributions to your solo-K plan amounting to $32,616 in 2005. If your selfemployed earnings are greater than $100,000, you can increase your contributions. Although the limit on elective deferrals (that is, your contribution as an
employee) is still limited to $14,000 in 2005, your allowable employer contribution can increase if your earnings are higher. You just need to be sure your
total contributions don’t exceed $42,000 for 2005.
The tax benefits don’t stop there if you are age 50 or older. Owners who are
age 50 or older may make catch-up contributions to the plan. For 2005, the
maximum catch-up contribution to a 401(k) plan is $4,000. So, your total contribution, depending on your income, may be as high as $46,000.
Reimbursement will be up to $100 or cost per event (whichever is less). Claims
will be limited to two per member, per year. The total number of scholarships
paid by SEVRAR will not exceed yearly budget amounts.
This is a perfect way to increase your knowledge as well as your earning
power. Take advantage of this opportunity and apply now. For more information and to get an application visit www.sevrar.com/pdfs/scholarship.pdf.
■■■
Based on the $100,000 self-employed earnings, however, your total contribution can be $32,616. Depending on your tax filing status, your total tax bracket
may be 30%. What that means to you is your $32,616 contribution to the plan
may save you $9,785 in state and federal income taxes this year!

LEGAL Q&A
We are pleased to offer a special Legal Q&A section of the SEVRAR News Magazine. This area was specifically

issue as it relates to your business and/or clients that you would like addressed, please e-mail your question to

UESTION: A year ago, my homeowners’ association fined me $500 for
refusing to remove a basketball hoop I had installed on my garage; with
late fees and default interest, the fine now exceeds $750. My home is now
in escrow and the homeowners’ association is asserting that it has a lien
against my property for this amount, which must be paid at closing. Does the
homeowners’ association have a lien against my property for the amount of the
fine, late fees and default interest?
paid the inspector for his work. Is the contract provision limiting my recourse
to the return of the $300 home-inspection fee enforceable?
ANSWER: Probably yes. Absent fraud or some unusual circumstance regarding
your signing of the home-inspection contract, the provision limiting your recourse to the return of the $300 home-inspection fee is probably enforceable.
ANSWER: No. While the association does hold an automatic lien for the payment of assessments, and of fees and collection costs related to assessments,
pursuant to A.R.S. § 33-1807(A) the association must obtain a judgment in a
civil lawsuit to obtain a lien for the payment of fines, penalties and other
charges unrelated to the payment of assessments. Thus, while the $750 fine
remains your personal obligation after closing, the fine does not constitute a
lien against your property which must be paid as a condition of closing. (Note:
The CC&Rs could contain provisions regarding the new owner’s responsibility
for the fine.)

QUESTION: When I purchased my home in Mesa last year, I hired a reputable
home inspector. I recently discovered a major plumbing problem in my home,
which will cost me $5,000 to fix. I believe the home inspector should have
noticed the problem and included it in his report. However, when I contacted
the home inspector, he informed me that, under the terms of the contract I
signed with the home inspector, even if he negligently failed to discover the
plumbing problem, I am entitled to nothing more than the return of the $300 I

POLITICALLY SPEAKING:
COMMUNITY VALUE
Unlike many of us today, it took
Bill and Ann until the age of fifty
before they were able to purchase
their first home. A brand new
four-bedroom, two-and-a-half
bath, eighteen-hundred square foot
home was probably more than
either of them had ever dreamed
could be possible.
I encourage each of you to search out these “jewels” in every community and
to establish and nurture a relationship with each of them. Also, pass their
names along to local leaders who may not know or comprehend the value
these individuals bring to the neighborhoods they represent. They are truly
deserving of the highest compliment and consideration we can give.
In closing, on behalf of your association, thank you for the service you provide
to increase homeownership and spread the value of “home” to so many.
Happy Holidays!
Samuel Aubrey can be reached at [email protected] or 480-505-6401.
By Samuel Aubrey, Director of Government Affairs
heir success in acquiring the less than twenty thousand dollar mortgage to
purchase their dream home was like “living the impossible dream”. That
was nearly forty years ago. I remember the day Bill told me he and Ann
had paid off their mortgage after thirty years of payments. We could have
celebrated the event. But, like most things with Bill, the announcement was
more reflective than celebratory. You see, it wasn’t so much the amazing accomplishment of receiving a note bearing a “PAID IN FULL” stamp, it was a
sense of pride in the building of community over the past thirty years that
increased the value of such an accomplishment.
Cornerstone of Community
Every community has that someone (or someone's) who provides that something special which adds character, value, heart, and soul to the neighborhood.
When I think of our small community, I think of Bill and Ann. I think of their
commitment over time that has served as the cornerstone in the building of our
neighborhood. I think of something irreplaceable—that has stood the test of
time—that has made it possible for other families to enjoy their dreams of
homeownership in a thriving and progressive community.
There are numerous Bill’s and Ann’s in communities all across this great nation—and, on every socio-economic level. And, believe me when I say that
every one of them are worth finding and extending a heart-felt thank you to.
We all owe them no less than that. We all realize a community is far more than
the homes that line the streets of a neighborhood. It is all about the people
and families who invest in a community with their time, talents, and resources
that provides the sustained vitality which keeps a community vibrant for decades.
Standard of Excellence
City leadership where I live, probably knows very little about those special
individuals in the communities within its borders who are the foundation on
which thriving neighborhoods are built. I am sure they are aware they exist.
However, in Bill and Ann’s case, there is very little fanfare accompanying the
hard work and dedication involved in what they do for our community. It is,
however, from this type of foundation that all other achievements and advancements in the community are made possible.
For example, our neighborhood has a standard in part due to individuals like
Bill and Ann who established one years before—and settled for nothing less. As
a result of their expectation of quality and excellence, many individuals and
families enjoy the enhanced amenities, timely service, and attentive city leadership that are viewed as customary in our community. Personally, I don’t believe
these benefits would have come to fruition on their own without someone
within the community demanding their existence.
As REALTORS® you have already—or, will meet and/or discover—one of these
“anchors” in the communities in which you work and serve. You will know them
by their caring concern regarding the things of “community” which they hold in
high regard. Some, you will meet in passing who seem interested in sharing
with you the value of “home” and not just homeownership. Others, may simply offer a kind word or sincere welcome to you and your client as a neighborhood ambassador demonstrating the collective tenor of their community. Without a doubt you will remember the encounter and know the importance of
commitment and value associated with the brief exchange.

DRY MOUTH AND YOUR ORAL HEALTH
Oral health is so much more than a wonderful smile.
Poor oral health can have a very significant impact
on the quality of life. In many cases, the condition of the mouth
mirrors the condition of the body as a whole.
By Dr. Tony Hashemian
ry mouth (xerostomia) is the condition of not having enough saliva in the
mouth. The saliva in your mouth performs many important functions: it
lubricates and protects teeth and the soft tissues of the mouth such as
gums from decay and infection, helps you chew and swallow, and helps digest
food. Symptoms of dry mouth will include extended periods of thirst, dryness,
a sticky sensation in the mouth, roughness of the tongue, burning sensations,
trouble chewing, swallowing and speaking, sores or infections in the mouth,
and bad breath.
Causes of Dry Mouth
Dry mouth is regarded as a symptom, not a disorder of itself, and can be the
result of several causes. Dry mouth is an unfortunate side effect of a large
number of medications, both prescribed and over the counter. Read the information on the drugs you take, and inform your physician or dentist if you are
experiencing side effects. Sometimes a prescription or drug dosage can be
adjusted to alleviate problems. Dry mouth may also be caused by disease, such
as Sjogren’s, Parkinson’s, and diabetes. Hormonal changes associated with
menopause and pregnancy, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and stress may
also be factors.
Dry Mouth and Your Oral Health
It is critically important that you maintain the highest level of oral hygiene if
you suffer from dry mouth syndrome, whatever its cause. Saliva protects and
cleans the teeth and gums and the entire oral cavity. People with dry mouth
are at increased risk for cavities and periodontal disease. Brush and floss frequently. Inform your dentist of your condition, and provide him or her with a
complete medical history, including a list of drugs you are currently taking,
both prescription and non-prescription. Some steps worth considering:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Increase fluid intake—keep water with you and take small sips
through the day
Use sugar free gum or hard candy to stimulate saliva production
Reduce or eliminate the use of caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated
drinks
Use a saliva substitute (available at most pharmacies)
Use an air humidifier
See your dentist regularly
Your dentist will work with you to manage this problem and minimize its adverse effects.

ADOT TO OPEN FREEWAY SECTION
he Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) with
city officials prepare to open the next section of the
Santan Freeway. Starting from Arizona Avenue to
Gilbert Road, construction crews are completing the 3.1
mile section by working on the final items such as; the
electrical system, traffic lights, and rubberized asphalt.
Residents are invited to attend the freeway party
scheduled for Saturday, December 17th. The following
Monday, December 19 will mark the first day for
commuters to tryout the new section of freeway.

Freeway will connect 12 miles from Gilbert Road to Power
Road and meet with the U.S. 60 interchange. Upon
completion, the entire Santan Freeway will be approximately 25 miles in length.
TECH HOTLINE TECH TIPS:
NO PHOTOS, NO BUYERS, NO KIDDING
How many agents does it take to put a photo on the web? Answer: One. But you’d never know it by looking
at some real estate sites. Recent studies put the numbers around six in ten listings with one photo of the property.
By Matthew Ferrara
hich leads to a second question:
Question: How many buyers do you
get without a photo on the listing?
Answer: Zero. No kidding!
It’s no joke. Too many online listings
lack important elements of Internet
marketing. For starters, textual content is usually minimal at best: less
specs end up on the web than end up
on fancy printouts, leaving web listings with the bland “2 bed”. “2 bath”
and hardly anything else about the
rest of the home. And some listings
with descriptions look undecipherable, full of word abbreviations no
normal buyer cares to untangle. At a
bare text level, too many agents
continue to treat the Internet like a
newspaper ad, conserving type as if it
cost per letter, when a web-page
ideally could hold hundreds of words.
And most mysterious of all, almost
four in ten listings lack photos. Not
even one.
It’s a mystery, since most real estate
agents claim to own a digital camera.
And they seem to have no problem
making printouts with photos, or
mailing postcards with multiple images. Yet, on page after page of
Internet listings, Joe Consumer finds
nothing but bizarre boxes stating,
“Too new for photo” or “Photo Missing”.
many agents. Browse any for-sale-byowner web sites, where listings with
any photos most likely have multiple
photos. Why? Because the sellers
bought the same camera you did;
they just have the motivation to use
it. Click, click, click and they can add
a dozen photos faster than many a
REALTOR®. They can do it in real
time, within seconds of purchasing an
online ad.
Oh, sorry, you already knew that. It’s
been a major concern lately, that
sellers can create attractive, compelling marketing pieces online just like
the professionals can. Why, then,
would they possibly need you, especially when any “preview” of your
work reveals 40% of listings without
a single photo? Looks to them like,
for four in ten sellers, you couldn’t be
bothered to do the marketing right.
Internet listings without photos get
no clicks. None. Not even a quick
glance. Buyers don’t take the time to
click text-only ads, just like they
never read text-only classifieds in the
newspaper. Ever see a listing sheet
without a photo? Didn’t think so. So
why do we see so many photo-free
listings online?
Well, it’s not because of hard technology, that’s for sure. Agents can upload photos into company pages in
seconds. And it’s not lack of hardware: most agents with photo-free
listings on the web don’t have any
problems using their digital camera to
print photo-full flyers. It just seems
like 40% of agents are not doing their
job.
Oh, well, the photos get up there
within a few days, you say? A few
days in an on-demand world is almost
as bad as never. Unless you are hoping your sellers will forget their home
is for sale for a few days after they
hire you, “a few days” is just a poor
excuse, isn’t it? A few days? Harrumpf!
Not you, you say? Your listings have
photos. Well, don’t congratulate yourself just yet. Even if you have a photo
or two on every listing, when other
agents in your company fail to upload
photos, your company’s web site will
still look partially empty. Any prospective seller who previews your
photo-lacking company site may not
invite anyone to make a presentation.
So it’s not just your photos that are
important; it’s a company-wide competitive issue.
Heck, if your competitors are smart,
they’ll use this fact when comparing
themselves to you in a presentation.
Imagine a competitor previewing
your company site, determining how
many listings lack photos, and then
mentioning those stats as a powerful
comparative statement when they
compete for the same listing. We do
it all the time in this industry. We
have this feature, they don’t; they do
this to market the home, we don’t.
Well, what about, we have almost
twice as many photos per listing on
our web site as they do. Will that
make a difference to you, Mr. Seller,
when choosing someone to market
your home online?
You bet it will.
■■■
Too new for a photo? What do you
say to that? That you didn’t have
time to take a photo the night you
took the listing contract (i.e., the
night you were hired)? That it’s the
office administrator’s job to upload it
to the web site? That it’s too hard to
upload a photo? Give me a break. If
those are your excuses, let’s hope
nobody tells your sellers. For every
listing without a photo, the only explanation is: The listing agent failed
to do their job!
How does this happen? Listing agents
obviously arrive at presentations with
lots of color images, photos of the
company, their photo on a personal
resume, glossy photos of past consumers. And the bottom line argument of any listing presentation is
mostly; “Hire me because I’m the
marketing expert”. So what’s the deal
with Internet listings without the
most important marketing element the photo?
In fact, some sellers already promote
their properties online better than
