SAR Members Earn State Award for Political Action
SAR Members have received one of only two prestigious
C.A.R. statewide awards for political action in 2005. The award
was presented to SAR representatives during a C.A.R.
Board of Directors meeting
held recently in Anaheim.
The award recognizes SAR
for outstanding efforts in
increasing Our REALTOR®
Action Fund (RAF) contributions by 50% from 2004 to
2005. “This is an extraordinary achievement for an
Association as large as ours,”
said President Leigh Rutledge.
“Political issues are extremely important to our business,
and I think this award is an
acknowledgment that our
Members are better informed
and better prepared to defend
our business than some of
our peers.”
The RAF Trustee Committee has set more record-breaking
goals for the 2006 campaign. “Raising Members’ total investment for political action work
is a great accomplishment,”
noted RAF Trustee Chairman
Doug Covill, “however, this
year we’re focusing more on
increasing the number of RAF
participants than on the dollar total.” With SAR already
ranking among the top three
large California associations
in RAF participation, the
Committee has set a goal of
51% member participation in
the RAF by year-end. “That
would make SAR the Number
One large REALTOR®
Association in California,
hands down,” Rutledge added.
“It’s an achievable goal and a
critically important cause.”

Perspective
Answering the Call to Action
By now, I hope I’ve reached every Member of this Association,
asking you to answer the call to political action. It was the focus of
my message in your dues renewal notices. I’ve repeated it at every
Main Meeting. I’ve asked the REALTOR® Action Fund trustees
to reach out to Members at regional meetings, SAR events and by
every means possible. This month the Sacramento REALTOR®
editors gave me one more shot at spreading the message, so I’m
taking it now.
Our industry and our Association are facing huge political challenges, from trial lawyers, misguided government regulators and
giant banking corporations, just to name a few. The only way we
can meet these challenges is through the REALTOR® Action Fund
(RAF) and I’m asking every Member - REALTORS® and Affiliates
- to contribute $197 this year to support the RAF.
Are you aware, for example, that a presidential advisory commission has recommended a phase-out of the IRS home mortgage
interest deduction? If adopted, this act would make homeownership
unattainable for tens of millions of Americans, including many
REALTORS®. Perhaps you haven’t heard the President or any
other politician talking about it because this is an election year, but
tax reforms will be on the congressional agenda shortly after the
November election. REALTORS® need to be ready with our political cannons loaded to protect this critical deduction.
Do you know the latest on the Big Banks’ efforts to take over
the real estate industry? Despite a lot of support for REALTORS®
in Congress, we remain subject to the threat of liberalized banking laws that would blur - maybe even eliminate - the distinction
between REALTOR® and lender. This has already occurred in the
United Kingdom, and could happen here as well.
Closer to home, SAR’s Government Affairs team has been
working patiently - and quietly - for over a year to defeat an onerous mandatory rental inspection ordinance proposed by the City of
Sacramento. Though well-intentioned, this ordinance could have
cost local landlords and property managers millions of dollars in
landlord registration and education programs, and tens of thousands
of unnecessary inspections. Thanks largely to our past political
groundwork and ongoing advocacy, it appears as of this writing,
that this particular ordinance is dead. As always, though, we have
to stay alert. The next bad, bureaucratic scheme or program is never
far away.
In addition to the foregoing examples, here are a few more political challenges we’ll be working on in 2006:
·
Fighting trial lawyers and shakedown lawsuits against
REALTORS®
·
Opposing business license fees and commission taxes
·
Opposing property transfer taxes and
conveyance fees
·
Electing pro-REALTOR® candidates
·
Opposing expensive point-of-sale mandates
·
Protecting property owners from unfair
land seizures (eminent domain)
·
Guarding against disclosure liability
·
Promoting flood protection
Sacramento communities
·
Fighting “open MLS” advocates and
initiatives
tion to prove it. In late January, it
was my privilege to accept on your
behalf a CAR award for increasing
our political action contributions
by 50% in 2005. SAR was one of
only two large Associations statewide to receive such an honor.
My goal for this year is to
achieve at least 51% SAR Member
participation. That would be the
highest participation rate SAR has
ever achieved; in fact, it would
be the highest rate achieved by
any large California REALTOR®
Association ever. At last count,
our 2006 RAF participation was
running close to 45%, so we are
very clearly within the realm of
the achievable.
Leigh Rutledge
2006 SAR President
But the more important goal is for all our Members to understand
and appreciate the magnitude of the threats facing our businesses
and livelihoods. That is why we resurrected the SAR Legislative
Committee in 2006, and why we will relentlessly seek your
support.
We’re asking for a $197 contribution from each REALTOR®
because that is the true annual cost of protecting your business. It’s
a small price to pay - less than $3.80 a week (the price of a good
latte) - for the assurance that your real estate career opportunities
will be there for you in the months and years to come. Contributing
is easy. Visit the SAR Member Services counter or log on to www.
car.org and click the REALTOR® Action Fund button. If you have
any questions, please give me a call at 916.484.2030. It’s time to
answer the call.
While I’ve got you here, let me remind you of a decidedly more
light-hearted matter: my 50th Birthday Bash at SAR. It’s coming up
Friday, March 24th at 6:30 pm. Yes, it happens to be my birthday
and, yes, we are going to have a great time eating, drinking and
rocking out to the live party band Animal House. But this is really
about getting together as SAR Members, letting our hair down a
little and raising money for the SAR Scholarship Fund. It sounded
good enough to me to invite 8,000 people to my 50th birthday party.
I hope you’ll join us.
for
It takes hard work and monetary support
from the REALTOR® Action Fund to protect
your business from these kinds of threats.
Thankfully, SAR Members are by-and-large
a politically well-informed, conscientious
group, and we’ve got the statewide recogni-

On February 3rd, Masters Club President
Elect, Doug Covill, with his Educational
Roundtable sub-committee, sponsored
another very successful annual Educational
Round table program. The event was widely
attended and featured the theme “Success in
a Changing Market.” Attendees remarked
that the four workshops, the presenters,
and the panelists, were highly informative
and very motivational. The four workshops
were given by Kathy Chigbrow, Bruce
Slaton, Derek Kirk and Michael Brickner.
The lively forum discussion was moderated by Carlos Kozlowski, and the panelists
included Jon Nastro, Barbara Harsch, Nick
LaPlaca and Tina Deller. This annual event
allows all REALTORS®, not just Masters
Club Members, to gain insight and knowledge from some of the area’s most successful REALTORS®.
Masters Mix at the Sutter Club
The beautiful Sutter Club was the scene
of the Winter Masters Club Network Mixer
on Thursday, February 16th. As usual, the
food was wonderful. Masters Club members enjoyed an historic atmosphere to network and catch up with old friends. This
year’s event also featured vocalist, Valerie
Weinberg, with piano accompaniment, lending a cabaret feeling to the event. Masters
Club President, Linda Bennett, had the
distinct honor of presenting flowers to a
very special “charter” member of Masters
Club, Evelyn Morgan. After decades of
top performance and outstanding professionalism in the real estate industry, Evelyn
announced her retirement, at the young age
of 94. Evelyn, in addition to being one of
the founding members of Masters Club, has
also been a past President of Masters Club.
She holds the distinction of “Outstanding
Life Member” and has agreed not to forget
us as she retires.
Annual Awards Luncheon set for end
of March
If you are a Masters Club Member,
please mark your calendar for March 31,
2006, for the annual Masters Club Awards
Luncheon. The luncheon will be held at
the Sheraton Grand Hotel and promises
to be an exciting and fun event. Steering
Committee Members have been busy since
the beginning of the year processing all of
the Masters Club applications, in preparation for this important event. Each year,
Masters Club welcomes its new Members
and rewards its existing Members for their
outstanding sales levels for the prior year.
This year’s event is entitled “The Year of
the Doug” and will feature an exciting Asian
theme. Doug Covill will be installed as the
new President for the Masters Club along
with the year’s new Steering Committee
Members.

RETIRING CHARTER MEMBER EVELYN MORGAN IS HONORED AT THE SUTTER CLUB MIXER
Sac 1st Mortgage and Friends Raise
$10,000 for CARE and Charity
Sac 1st Mortgage recently held its spirited
cabaret-themed event, Cabernet Under the Stars
and raised $10,000 for charity in the process.
The event is an evening of food, wine, cabaret
show, and silent auction.
The event was attended by 300 people from
the industry and community. $6,000 in proceeds was donated to C.A.R.E (Catastrophic
Aid for Real Estate). Another $4,000 was
donated to S.A.F.E, a local organization that
assists those who cannot afford to participate in
school activities.
Co-sponsors of the event included Davis
& Davis Real Estate, North American Title,
Fidelity National Title, Financial Title, Keller
Williams Realty and Gallaway Commercial.
This is the second year Sac 1st Mortgage
Charitable Foundation has joined other Real
Estate leaders to sponsor a charity fundraiser
party. Sac 1st Mortgage formed its charitable
foundation in 2003 specifically to help local real
estate charities and other community causes.
The Foundation plans more fundraisers in
2006. If you are interested in learning more
about how you can participate, please contact
Sac 1st at 916-486-6500.

SAR and C.A.R.’s political program tool
“Political Survival Fund” has been changed
and is now called the “REALTOR® Action
Fund” (RAF). Call them what you will,
the end game remains the same. Your contributions to the SAR PAC’s allow SAR
leadership and staff to be in a position to
make sure that the REALTOR® voice is
heard loud and clear in the County Building
and various City Halls within SAR’s
jurisdiction.
SAR has managed to keep point of sale
retrofit proposals from becoming law as it
In the 80’s the issues surrounded growth
and the push to stop it or slow it. More
recently, issues seem to focus more on
how to deal with some of the impacts of
the growth that took place back then. SAR
has found itself deeply involved in air
quality, transportation, education, affordable housing and flood control issues and
discussion in recent years. Always, an eye
is kept out for issues that will increase
a REALTOR’S® liability exposure. What
we referred to as property rights back then
might be discussed in a bit different light
now, though still carefully protected.
seems every year there is a new laudable
public goal that is proposed to be placed on
the backs of only those people choosing to
sell their homes. Laws that create a short list
of “reasons” why landlords can terminate a
residential tenancy have also been avoided
due in large part to SAR’s political work.
Looming on the horizon are proposals in
several cities and the county which would
require rental housing to be inspected periodically. Increased local disclosure requirements are also being discussed. The use of
open house signs is always under scrutiny
and will require SAR’s action.
As we enter these discussions and fight
for what is right please consider President
Leigh Rutledge’s request for your support. $197.00 is all that is asked of each
REALTOR® and it will allow us to be
effective advocates on your behalf.
And the latest REALTOR® political
slogan? “$197.00, The True Cost of Doing
Business.”
Truer words may have never been
spoken.
��
��
��
��
Legislative Committees dealt in detail
with issues and then became forums for discussion. They have now come back strong
to act as a watchdog, identifying important
issues and helping develop the strategy to
deal with them.
��
The issues may have adjusted and
morphed over the years but the same old
political slogans that SAR chanted in the
80’s and 90’s still mean as much today
as they did then. Perhaps more. “Get into
politics or get out of business” and “If
you’re not part of the solution, you’re part
of the problem” are two of my personal
favorites. These were used many years ago
by REALTOR® organizations to motivate
their Membership to contribute to political
programs.

About the Market:
Twice a year, the Fed Chair speaks to the
House Financial Services Committee. Ben
Bernanke, who replaced Alan Greenspan,
delivered his first report on the state of the
economy. He indicated that more rate hikes
will be needed to keep prices in line. Even
though it appears inflation may be a concern, by managing it in this way, long term
rates actually stay lower.

ETHICS CORNER
CODE OF ETHICS ARTICLE 4
REALTORS® shall not acquire an interest in or buy or present offers from themselves, any member of their immediate
families, their firms or any member thereof,
or any entities in which they have any
ownership interest, or any real property
without making their true position known
to the owner or the owner’s agent or broker.
In selling property they own, or in which
they have any interest, REALTORS® shall
reveal their ownership or interest in writing
to the purchaser or the purchaser’s representative. (Amended 1/00)
CASE INTERPRETATION: Case #4-4:
Responsibility for Subordinates (Revised
Case #13-6 may 1988. Transferred to Article
4 November, 1994, Revised November,
2001.)
(Copywrite National Association of
REALTORS®, Reprinted from www.realtor.org with
permission ).
REALTOR-ASSOCIATE® B, a sales
associate in REALTOR® A’s office, exclusively listed a suburban house and subsequently convinced the seller to accept
$20,000 less than the listed price. Several
weeks after the transfer to title, the seller
filed a written complaint with the Board,
charging REALTOR-ASSOCIATE B with
a violation of Article 4 in that REALTORASSOCIATE B had sold the property to his
mother without disclosing this relationship
to his client, the seller, and that REALTORASSOCIATE® B got the price reduced for
his mother’s benefit.
The complaint was reviewed by the
Grievance Committee which, with the complainant’s concurrence, named REALTOR®
A as an additional respondent.
At
the
hearing,
REALTORASSOCIATE® B stated that he saw nothing wrong in selling the property to his
mother and that the seller would have
accepted the contract at the reduced price,
even if the buyer had not been REALTOR-
ASSOCIATE® B’s mother. REALTOR®
A stated that REALTOR-ASSOCIATE®
B was an independent contractor licensed
with him. REALTOR® A acknowledged
that he was accountable under the Code
for the actions of other REALTORS® and
REALTOR-ASSOCIATES® associated
with him but shared with the panel information on his firm’s orientation program. He
noted that he required each licensee joining his firm to complete board-sponsored
Code training. In addition, he required
everyone in his firm to read Professionalism
in Real Estate Practice, and produced a
form signed by REALTOR-ASSOCIATE®
B stating that he had carefully read and
understood his personal obligation under
the Code of Ethics.
The panel found that REALTORASSOCIATE® B should have made his
relationship to the buyer, his mother, unmistakably clear to the seller. He should have
disclosed in writing that the buyer was his
mother so there would have been no misunderstanding.
The Hearing Panel found REALTORASSOCIATE® B in violation of Article 4.
The Hearing Panel noted that
REALTORS® are not presumed to be in
violation of the Code of Ethics in cases
where REALTORS® or REALTORASSOCIATES® associated with them are
found in violation. Rather, their culpability,
if any, must be determined from the facts
and circumstances of the case in question. It
was the conclusion of the Hearing Panel that
REALTOR® A had made reasonable efforts
to ensure that REALTOR-ASSOCIATE®
B was familiar with the Code and its
obligations, and that it would have been
unreasonable to expect REALTOR® A to
have known the purchaser was REALTORASSOCIATE® B’s mother. Consequently,
REALTOR® A was found not to have
violated Article 4.

Over the last 15 years, I have had an opportunity to work with various
realtors, lenders, Inspectors, etc. The reason I have worked with various people is that I have not found many that I felt comfortable continuing business
with. It is important to me to work with professionals who will protect my
interests, are detailed and keep me informed. Philip’s service was outstanding.
I can tell you that when I decide to buy another property in the
Sacramento area, I will definitely need the professional assistance of Philip
Sparks. In fact, I have even referred Philip Sparks and M&M Property
Management to a few others.
Great job! And, a sincere thank you to Philip. Maybe I will get to meet
him in person some time soon.”
