Why Pink?
SEVRAR SUPPORTS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
These days ribbons are worn for many different causes. Red signifies
AIDS awareness. A yellow ribbon has long represented support for
armed forces. However, one of the most prominent ribbon colors is
pink, which aims to raise awareness of and support for breast cancer.
Pink is a color that is uniquely feminine, and it also represents a person full of health and vibrancy; think of little babies pink with life. Pink
is also a color that seems the complete antithesis of cancer, and thusly inspires hope for renewed health and survival.
There is some controversy surrounding the origins of the breast cancer mascot... the pink ribbon. There are also suggestions that the ribbon was intended to be peach and not pink.
In 1992, just about every organization started using ribbons to raise
awareness. The New York Times actually
dubbed 1992 "The Year of the Ribbon."
Alexandra Penney, the then-editor of Self
magazine, wanted to create a ribbon for
the publication's second annual Breast
Cancer Awareness Month issue. The previous year she had worked with cosmetics
giant Estee Lauder. Evelyn Lauder, the
senior corporate vice president, was herself a breast cancer survivor. Penney
thought a collaboration between the magazine and Lauder could see a ribbon on
cosmetic counters across the nation, and
help sell a few magazines in the process.
The trouble was Penney had read a story
about a 68-year-old woman, Charlotte Haley, who was producing handmade ribbons in her home. Haley had a number of
people in her immediate family who had
battled breast cancer and her handmade
"peach" ribbons intended to raise awareness about the limited government funds
being used for breast cancer research.
Haley's message was spreading by word
of mouth.
Penney and Lauder contacted Haley and
wanted to further collaborate on the peach
ribbon theme. However, Haley didn't want
to be involved, saying the effort would be
too commercial. She refused to turn over
rights to the use of the peach ribbon. As a
result, Penney consulted with attorneys
8
www.SEVRAR.com
who said to come up with
another color, and pink was
eventually chosen.
Pink had already been associated with breast cancer in
the past. Just a few years
earlier, the Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation
had given out pink visors to
its "Race for the Cure" participants. It had also created a
pink ribbon.
The pink ribbon quickly took
off by leaps and bounds.
Millions were distributed by
Estee Lauder. There are
many philanthropic and
commercial businesses who
now use the pink ribbon in
their breast cancer marketing
plans. Every October, women are urged to don pink for
Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. One can find the pink
ribbon adorning everything
from cereal boxes to cans of
cleanser.
Is YOUR contact information
up-to-date with SEVRAR?
Many embrace the pink ribbon as a symbol of hope,
one that has done its share
of work toward spreading
the word about the need for
more breast cancer awareness and research.

"all white"!
As 2013 Chair of RAPAC for SEVRAR, I couldn't thank you
enough for coming out and supporting OUR Cause. As
REALTORS®, we must understand and educate our fellow REALTORS® about the importance of RAPAC. It's our
voice! Its advocacy! It's truly the sharpest tool we have to
protect our livelihood as Real Estate professionals and it’s
intricate to the preservation of home ownership. As one
voice, we have the power to protect
ourselves from onerous local, state, and federal legislation.

Arizona Association of REALTORS®
AAR INFORMATION AND UPDATES
By Bethany Helvie, AAR Communications Manager
AAR Helps Arizona Property
Owners Maintain the Right to
Use “For Sale” Signs
by Scott Drucker
The Arizona Association of
REALTORS® (AAR) is committed to supporting statutes and
legislation that promote Arizona’s housing market, which is
vital to the economy of this
state. It is this commitment that
led AAR to file an amicus curiae
brief in support of a homeowner’s right to utilize an industry
standard “For Sale” sign regardless of restrictions imposed
by a community association.
A.R.S. §§ 33-441 and 33-1808(F) render unenforceable
any covenant, restriction or condition prohibiting the indoor or outdoor display of a “For Sale” sign and sign rider
by a property owner on that person’s property. For various
reasons, these statutes have been the frequent target of
legal challenges, often by community associations seeking
to enforce the community’s covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs). The most recent challenge was advanced by PC Village Association, Inc., a community association that governs the Pine Canyon subdivision in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Robert and Cecilia Hawk are the owners of real property
located in Pine Canyon and, on August 16 and August 17,
2011, the Hawks posted on their Pine Canyon property a
“For Sale” sign. On both instances, PC Village removed the
“For Sale” sign claiming it violated its CC&Rs. It is these
facts that give rise to the case of Hawk v. PC Village Association, Inc. and an Arizona Court of Appeals Opinion dated
September 3.
Understandably, Mr. and Mrs. Hawk desired to reach as many
prospective buyers as possible and recognized that perhaps the
most valuable and cost effective manner to communicate that
their home was available for purchase was through the use of a
simple “For Sale” sign. Claiming that “For Sale” signs are visually unappealing, PC Village argued that: (1) the pertinent statutes did not supersede its CC&Rs because the statues were
enacted years after PC Village’s CC&Rs were recorded and
amended to prohibit property owners in Pine Canyon from displaying any kind of sign visible from neighboring property; and
(2) the statutes are unconstitutional because they substantially
impair the community association’s contractual rights. If successful, the position asserted by PC Village would have adversely impacted a homeowner’s ability to sell a property for
the highest price, as well as a buyer’s ability to secure information as to which properties are available for purchase.
Following oral argument, the Arizona Court of Appeals rejected
the position advanced by PC Village, finding that the community
association “failed to demonstrate a substantial impairment.”
The Court’s rationale was based in part on the fact that planned
communities and homeowners associations are creatures of
statute, their powers being largely defined by legislation. In
such a highly regulated industry, the Court determined that PC
Village had no reasonable expectation to conclude that its
CC&Rs would remain unaffected by future legislation or government directive.
In passing A.R.S. §§ 33-441 and 33-1808(F), the Arizona legislature intended to protect the rights of homeowners by permitting a vital form of commercial speech that assists property
owners in selling their homes, likely their greatest capital asset.
AAR is therefore pleased that the Arizona Court of Appeals upheld these statutes as constitutional, holding that A.R.S. § 33-
www.SEVRAR.com

AAR INFORMATION AND UPDATES
441 “plainly invalidates” CC&Rs such as those of Pine Canyon that seek to prohibit “For Sale” signs.
tion. Scott oversees AAR’s Risk Management Committee, which includes professional standards administration for 20 of the state’s local
REALTOR® associations, and the development of standard real estate
AAR would like to thank attorney Tevis Reich for his dedicated representation of Robert and Cecilia Hawk, along with attorney Richard V. Mack who assisted in the preparation of
AAR’s amicus curiae brief.

SEVRAR MEMBERS WHO ARE MAKING IMPACTFUL CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR COMMUNITIES
Mark spent 6 years enlisted in the US Navy, with the
last 2 year as a member of the Drill Corp team, but
that’s just the beginning.
Mark dedicates his time and energy to his community
and his country on many levels every day. Mark became President of the Tempe Exchange club in 2008.
An organization devoted to the prevention of child
abuse.
In 2013, he was recognized by his organization on a
national level for his contributions and commitment to
the organization. As President, his responsibilities include but are not limited to educating the youth about
our country, its history and our community. Additionally, every year, the Tempe Exchange Club heads up a
toy drive for those children who are less fortunate.
One of the major contributions to the community is
his involvement with the Healing Field at Tempe Town

Lake. A memorial established to remember those that lost
their lives on that horrific day on 9-11. Mark possesses the
natural ability to rally people together. His enthusiasm for
what he believes in is contagious and makes those around
him feel a sense of pride. Every year, Mark and his team
at the Tempe Exchange club organize the colossal task of
gathering volunteers to turn a grassy field into a sea of almost 3000 flags. Each flag representing a human life lost
on 9-11. The set up starts early on the 10th and runs several days following. Mark devotes his time and energy every day those flags are in the ground. It is his relentless
love for his country and his desire to never forget those
that perished. He truly embodies the meaning of being an
American.
Mark also has a love for our four legged friends. He and
his wife Sandra Poisson spend time volunteering and supporting a no kill shelter called the Arizona Animal Welfare
League. Both Mark and Sandra volunteer their time at the
shelter and also help with the pet adoption program they
have established.
Mark is a firm believer in empowering those he comes in
contact with. Through his commitment to the organizations
he is involved with, Mark also enjoys sharing his wealth of
knowledge to the real estate professionals in the South
East Valley.
Mark joined First American Title in June of 2010 and since
then, he’s been teaching regularly at his office at First
American Title in Ahwatukee as well as SEVRAR on different real estate topics with the hope that he will positively
impact those eager to hear what he has to share. If you
would like to help with any of Mark’s efforts please contact

I CLEAN UGLY CREDIT
Debbie Oliver
Debbie Oliver is the owner of “I Clean Ugly Credit”
and takes great pride in the fact that unlike other
credit repair companies, she does not simply dispute
items, but instead focuses on teaching intelligent
credit management and empowering clients to become fiscally responsible. Debbie is an advocate for
each client and provides hope for all who are currently experiencing credit struggles. With honesty and
integrity, her emphasis is on financial education and
helping clients maximize their credit scores so that
they can qualify for home ownership.
Most clients do not need credit repair. What they DO
need is hope, guidance, direction and a plan! Debbie
actually sits with the client (if they are local and by
phone if not local), reviews their credit report
with them (line by line) and comes up with a written
plan of what steps they can take to maximize their
credit score by correcting errors, settling with collectors, paying down existing accounts, and opening
new trade lines.
She charges $79 for an individual consultation and
$99 for a couple. It is her intention that when the
consultation is done, the client will walk away knowing
exactly what is showing on their credit report and
what they can do to improve it. If they feel like they
would benefit from additional help, or have errors on their
credit report “Your Credit Mom” package is available for
an additional low monthly fee.
Credit is all Debbie does and she is passionate about
helping clients re-build their credit lives.
Debbie is one of only eight individuals in the State of Arizona who is a Certified FICO Professional and was the
2011 SEVRAR Affiliate of the year.

ARIZONA ACADEMY OF REAL ESTATE
Monika Hovland
Whatever it Takes…
Monika has been in the real estate field since 1997 and with Arizona
Academy of Real Estate (AARE) since 2010. She has been a Valley
resident since 1981. Monika started on the ground floor and helped
grow the Commercial Real Estate Institute. During her time with CREI
she was the Administrator and General Manager. This included being
connected with the Arizona Department of Real Estate and many other Boards and Associations. She developed many working relationships with REALTORS® whether they were instructors or students.
AARE was founded in 2005 with one simple philosophy...to do whatever
it takes to deliver the real estate industry with prepared real estate
agents that will better Arizona real estate. Of course with the economy
and, in particular, the Arizona real estate market that philosophy was
tested time and time again as the real estate industry was turned upside
down. However, AARE continued to develop their curriculum built on
the belief that every one of our students deserve the opportunity to enter the real estate or lending industry with the tools and knowledge that
will allow them to be successful.
AARE recruited a team of professionals with decades of experience in
the Arizona real estate and lending industries. Their team sought highly
experienced instructors with a wide array of unique skills and
knowledge to offer a broad scope of education for our students. Their
experience and knowledge along with the flexibility of AARE’s prelicense
program is a key difference that separates
AARE from other real estate schools.
AARE has now grown to one of the largest
and fastest growing real estate schools in
Arizona with campuses in Mesa, Scottsdale and Peoria. Along with real estate
programs, AARE now offers education for
the lending industry as well.
AARE also offers real estate agencies
around Phoenix to join their Career Partner
Program. This program gives them the
opportunity to have direct contact with
new agents they may wish to recruit while
providing students a variety of options to
start their career.
You can find much more information on
AARE’s website at:
www.AZRealEstateLicense.com or come
by the Mesa Campus at 3638 E. Southern
Ave #C-101 in Mesa, 85206 to meet with
Monika and check out the campus for
yourself.

The Evolution of GRI
MEMBERS SOUND OFF, AAR LISTENS
The Arizona Association of REALTORS® (AAR) surveyed members and
found that most wanted more flexibility when earning the GRI designation, especially when it comes to their time. Beginning on January
1, 2014, the GRI designation will offer REALTORS® expanded options
to participate in classes online. The integration of REBAC classes, including Marketing Reboot and Generation Buy, to the GRI curriculum
will allow for less time away from the office and clients. Many live
classes will be condensed down to one day, providing REALTORS®
with a succinct learning experience that can be implemented right
away.
The flexibility of GRI will also be evident in the ability to earn multiple
designations and/or certifications at once.
Now, those who are earning a designation like the Accredited Buyer
Representative® (ABR®), the Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®)
or the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designation or ePRO or
rCRMS certifications can transfer these credits and apply them to a
GRI designation. This also allows REALTORS® to be in control of
what they want to learn. “You can build your own direction. You really
have a lot more choices based on what you want to learn,” said Barb
Freestone, Senior Vice President, Professional and Business Development, AAR.
Curriculum Focused on Building Skills and Managing Risk
The value of earning a designation is reflected in the knowledge you
gain by earning it. The re-invented GRI will place more emphasis on
building skills to manage even the toughest real estate transaction as
well as ways to manage your risk. The curriculum will be split into
two sections, Risk Management and Skill Building. The Skill Building
courses focus on effective marketing strategies, business planning,
transactional technology, financing options for your clients and customer service. The Risk Management courses focus on writing and
understanding contracts, disclosure and due diligence, agency and
ethical behavior. The new requirements are customizable and give
REALTORS® the option to build a GRI that fits a specific niche.
Simple Transition for Current Candidates
For those members who are currently participating in the GRI program, the transition will be simple and straight forward come January
1. If you need a class that is no longer offered, a corresponding class
will be made available. Current GRI candidates should be looking for
more updates from AAR as we near the go-live date for the updated
GRI.
36
Stay tuned for updates about GRI!
What AAR Members Are Saying About GRI
Kerry Melcher, REALTOR®, The Melcher Agency: “In the
interest of full disclosure I do not have my GRI. But, I
like the idea of it merging multiple designations within
the GRI program. The big one for me is condensing the
classes into one day.”
Paula Monthofer, GRI, e-PRO, West USA Flagstaff : “As a
GRI instructor, I am really looking forward to teaching
our new tech class! It is so well tailored and thorough,
yet fits almost all tech skill sets. The best part? We really
focused on practical tips and tools you can take and use
to better your business that day.”
Micki Lang, Assistant Association Executive, Scottsdale
Association of REALTORS®: “The new GRI program provides the REALTOR® member with improved flexibility in
acquiring not only the GRI designation, but the new program will also allow them to utilize other NAR designations and AAR certifications as credit towards the GRI
program. Our new GRI program is a well rounded educational platform for REALTORS® who aspire to be real
estate professionals.”
Karen Kay, REALTOR®, DPR Realty: “As a member of the
GRI Oversight Workgroup, I’ve seen first-hand the
amount of time and care taken to give the GRI a fresh
update. As our profession evolves, it’s great to see a designation evolve as well. I hope that more REALTORS®
will consider the GRI.”
Holly Mabery, GRI, ABR, CRMS, Keller Williams Check
Realty: “I know I’m excited for the changes and the updates GRI has undergone. [GRI] really gives the boots-on
-the-ground agents real-world skills to improve their
business.”

Ouch!!!
GET YOUR GEAR ON—PAINTBALL TOURNAMENT
By Pam Cohen, Community Outreach Committee Chair
It pains me (as the Community Outreach Committee Chair
and employee of Academy Mortgage), to give huge props to
The Lending Company for showing up at our recent “Get
Your Gear On” Paintball Tournament and taking FIRST
PLACE… and, no prisoners by the way! You go guys! Keep
up the good work and I look forward to the competition next
time!
I think I also need to give my team from Academy Mortgage
an “Honorable Mention” for coming in 4th and playing with
only seven team members. No excuses, I know! Next time,
BEWARE – think Hunger Games…
All kidding aside – the reason the Community Outreach
Committee (mostly Ian Katzman as the head of the tournament) hosts this event, is to raise funds for all the good
work that we do for the communities we live in and serve.
If you are not aware, our Committee is an amalgamation of
three previous committees; Housing Opportunity, Military
Affairs and Critical Needs. If you don’t understand what that
entails, just know that we are the community service face of
SEVRAR.
1st Place Team: The Lending Company
Kudos also go out to Hispanic Association of Real Estate
Professionals (HAREP) for coming in 2nd and, to Mark Poisson and his “Posse” from First American Title, for once
again participating and taking 3rd Place! Past Committee
Chair, Ian Katzman – I may forgive you for your choice of
teams, but none the less, you all got in the winner’s circle!
We strive to exemplify all the good that we, as REALTORS®
and Affiliates do in our communities. The funds raised will
help support the elderly and others in our community, military families, and those SEVRAR members in greatest need.
Please consider serving on the Committee or, when the
need arises to contribute or volunteer for our “outreach”
events.
One additional way you may participate is by nominating
someone who is a member of SEVRAR as a Spirit of the
Community award winner. This could be anyone that you
know who is “giving back to the community” no matter how
large or how small. Please see our feature story (page 26)
on these members who walk among us, sometimes unknown by others, and who do big things often times in
small ways. Send your nominations by visiting:
www.sevrar.com/community. We would love to know who
is out there helping.
Elizabeth Litten (SEVRAR Committee Staff Liaison—and yes,
you all know her), Stacy Neal (Committee Vice Chair) and to
the entire committee – HUGE THANKS for making this a
successful event for the second year in a row!
