Jun - Northwoods Association of REALTORS
The Realty Review Volume 6, Issue 6 June 2016 Northwoods Association of Realtors® & Greater Northwoods MLS® The Buzz: 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! John 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.

Inside This Issue: GNMLS President’s Message 2 Affiliates & Sponsors 3 MLS Memo & AE Corner 3 Member Recognition & Events 4 REALTORS on the Move 4 Board of Directors 5 About NWAR/GNMLS 5 Golf Outing/Election Dinner Recap 6 Page 2 Volume 6, Issue 6 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.” Find out more in WRA’s recent article at: goo.gl/s2XSCY 1. 2. 3. 4. 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 summary, view the FAA press release at: goo.gl/eKWJm5 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.

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. * These are non-member paid advertisements that are not spec ifically endo rse d or promoted by NWAR.

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.

View SentriLock lockbox training guides, tip sheets and more at: www.goo.gl/kN7F3 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.

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.

One of several RPAC auction tables deftly arranged by Cheryl Eskridge. It clearly worked since we raised over $6000! Mike Meyers shows off the club that won the putting contest. John Osero and Duane Harpster both holed out the qualifying putt, but were unable to repeat when it counted most - that’s golf for ya! John Morris aloofly sizes up his newly-installed competitors. Last year’s champs from Compass Land came up a couple strokes short this year. Asked for comment, Bill Steigerwaldt offered a steely-eyed “I’LL BE BACK” then rode off on his Harley. 2016 Jim Tait Memorial Trophy winners: John Osero, Shelly Cole, Jon Long & Patrick Hugunin When asked if she thought it was fair that Shelly won the golf outing and Presidency in the same day, Lisa Fricke replied “LOL wutevs” then fanned herself with her new iPad and the fistful of cash she won in separate drawings.
