Dan May
Elected 2014 HBA President
4
Dan May, vice president of Ireland
May Ltd., has been elected the 80th
president of the Home Builders
Association of Greater Cincinnati
(HBA). The Montgomery, Ohio
based builder/remodeler specializes
in both custom remodeling and
new home construction. His
official installation was conducted
on December 13th by Hamilton
Co. Commission President Chris Monzel at the Cincinnati
Netherland Hilton Hotel.
He has previously served the HBA as vice president/treasurer
and second vice president/secretary, as well as a member
of the board of directors since 2008. May also serves as a
director of both the Ohio and National Associations of Home
Builders.
May has been a homebuilder since 1996. He is a graduate
of the University of Kentucky and has received recognition
from Xavier University, in addition to several industryrelated awards. He also holds the national designations of
Residential Construction Specialist (RCS), as well as Certified
Graduate Builder (CGB)-- held by less than 10 percent of
builders nationwide.
His community involvement has included the Montgomery
Chamber of Commerce and Montgomery Citizens Leadership
Academy. He and his wife, Maya, and daughter, Piper, are
residents of Montgomery, Ohio.
The HBA plans to host three major home shows during May’s
tenure: New Home Tour April 5-6 and April 12-13, the fiftysecond HOMEARAMA® at Carriage Hill in Liberty Township
July 12-27, and the twelfth CiTiRAMA® at Witherby Meadows
in College Hill September 13-21. Joe Bayer, co-founder of Bayer Becker was posthumously
awarded the Greater Cincinnati Spirit of Construction Lifetime
Achievement Award in October. Bayer passed away in 1999.
Bayer Becker, founded in 1968, operates four engineering
offices in Ohio and Kentucky.
Ohio Court Decision Does Not Impact HBA
Arbitration Clause
The Ohio Supreme Court recently decided not to consider a
decision made by the Portage Co. Court of Common Pleas
and confirmed by the 11th District Court of Appeals, to
negate a builder’s contract arbitration clause. According the
HBA of Greater Cincinnati’s general counsel, the decision in
the Jamison v. LDA Builders case was narrow in scope and
does not impact the HBAGC’s contract arbitration clause. For
more details contact Steve Hunt at 513-241-0400.
Cooperative Sales Agreement Extended
The HBA Board of Directors recently voted to extend the
current version of the Cooperative Sales Agreement between
builders and Realtors. The annual agreement provides
specific provisions for compensation for transactions
between the two. For a list of signatories visit CincyBuilders.

Challenges Still Abound: The Year Ahead
By Dan May, 2014 HBA President
Remarks from the inaugural event on December 13th
It’s an honor and a privilege to become the 80th president of this
great organization. As I look around this room and see some of
the men and women that have held this position before me and
know the hard work and dedication you have given for the HBA,
I am truly humbled to be here. Many of these past presidents
have let me know that they are available to share their advice
and counsel based on their experiences. To them, I have two
things to say: “thank you” and “careful what you wish for.” Your
commitment to this association and your hard work have led the
way for all of us and I welcome your input as we collectively move
forward.
hard work and dedication to their businesses, their association
and their industry. I hope to follow their collective example and
continue that tradition.
Whether you’re a builder, a developer, a contractor or a supplier,
you’ve got one thing in common: you’re still here. You’ve
survived. You’ve weathered the storm of the past five years, and
that’s not by accident. You’ve worked your butts off to be here
and for that we should all be proud.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup Addresses OVDC
On November 5, OVDC members elected Mark Burgess, Brent Coppage, Shane DeLong, Ben Hurst, and Joe Smith to 2-year terms
on the OVDC Board of Directors and welcomed Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Hamilton County, Ohio) as special guest. Rep. Wenstrup
addressed the group on the national economy, housing and land development issues, and took their questions. The Board later

take on the immediate past president role next year.

Tips on Getting the Correct Property Appraisal
Share data with the appraiser. Builders should provide all relevant data to
appraisers, including plans and specifications of the property, information
on how their products differ from their competitors’, a list of energyefficiency features in the home, details on materials that were chosen,
and the buyers’ reactions to products selected. Builders cannot talk about
the specific value of the home, but they can give the appraiser factual
information that is verifiable.
•
Insist on a qualified appraiser. Use lending institutions that hire competent
appraisers. If an appraisal assignment goes to an appraiser who you know
is unfamiliar with your geographic area, insist that the lender switch to an
appraiser who knows the area.
•
Request an appraiser who is familiar with new construction and/or
energy-efficient construction. Keep a detailed record of data provided
to the appraiser (email, notes in calendar, etc.). Engage with the lender
and provide the facts. Nothing prevents a lender from ordering a second
appraisal if the first appraisal appears flawed.
•
Be present during the appraisal. A builder can answer any questions the
appraiser has during appraisal of the property and also point out added
features, amenities, and products that make the house stand out from
others in the market.
•
Stage the property. Just like a buyer looking at an open house, an appraiser is likely to look more favorably on a home that
exhibits curb appeal and is clean, clutter-free, and move-in ready.
•
Provide additional info. This little-known rule at the Department of Veterans Affairs states that if the appraiser determines that
the value will come in lower than the sales price, he is required to halt the appraisal before it is completed and make the lender
aware of the value coming in below the sales price. This allows any party to the transaction, including the builder, to provide
additional information in support of the sales price. Since this is done at the VA, a builder can ask any lender to consider this
policy without violating current regulations.

Advocacy
Immigration Reform
Lobbying Tax Deduction
HBA Executive
Director, Dan
Dressman, joins
allied organization
leaders from the
Cincinnati USA
Regional Chamber
of Commerce and
the Ohio Valley
Associated Builders
and Contractors at
a media conference
in December to
promote immigration
reform. The HBA of
Greater Cincinnati
supports an employer e-verify system that provides a safe
harbor when companies legally use the federal system, as well
as an increased annual guest worker quota system to address
growing residential construction labor shortages.
Dues payments to the Home Builders Association of Greater
Cincinnati are not deductible as charitable contributions for
federal income tax purposes. However, dues payments may be
deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses, subject
to exclusion for lobbying activity. Because a portion of your 2013
dues was used for lobbying by NAHB, OHBA, and the HBAGC,
$90 is not deductible for income tax purposes. For additional
information on lobbying tax deductions, contact your company
tax professional.
