[email protected] REALTOR®® News November 2007 Page 2 November newsletter sponsored by Alliance Bank Because You Should Know ... GSAR is serving over 1,600 members to date. The challenge for our Board of Directors and staff has been to improve our services while maintaining cost. No one has ever settled for status quo…and we have a lot in store for 2008. Adding value, bringing the latest and greatest is our motto! We are cutting edge, and taking leaps of faith. With that, GSAR will be one of the very few REALTOR Associations in the history of NAR that will be offering it's membership FREE...that's right I said FREE New York state approved continuing education in 2008! I guess more appropriately, we should bill it "CE is included" with your dues for 2008. "FREE" is just plain more powerful than "included", when you have had to pay for it all years previous. Is there a catch? No! Why did we do it? It's simple, to support our members' efforts to be the best professionals they can possibly be. That means not only those who are grandfathered, those who are new, or those who have met their quota for this period. Take notice.... NEVER, NEVER, stop learning! That is the key to being the best of the best! Take every class offered, or just what you need. When the room is full, jump into the next class and the next. Members are expected to overflow the classrooms. There will be a waiting list to attend, so we have developed policies to make things fair for all members once you reserve a spot in the class. We promise you this...if you don't take advantage of this outstanding opportunity your colleagues will pass you by. Not only will they learn the newest and best practices but this is our opportunity to keep the members informed of current events and regulatory changes. Get involved and stay connected to one of the most professional organizations supporting your business today, GSAR! Here is just a sampling of courses that will be offered "FREE" to GSAR members, with many new classes that are still in the works... Historic Preservation for REALTORS®, 15 hours of CE, this course is designed to help REALTORS® advise clients who are purchasing properties protected under historic preservation ordinances. This course includes a 4 hour limo-bus tour to locally protected historic landmarks and districts. Pitfalls & Challenges, Where do we go from here?, 4.5 hours of CE, never before has the real estate industry faced the challenges presented by today's market. The speed and magnitude of the changes occurring today present both challenges and opportunities. Learn how you can use the challenges to improve your performance. Through the Eyes of an Appraiser, 7.5 hours of CE, learn how to discover and identify the potential assets and defects in a property. Learn how to select the correct comparable properties for your CMA. Discuss the importance of correctly filling out the Profile sheet and to use key words that will help the appraiser reach an accurate value. Discuss the values of various adjustments and how to apply them to your analysis. Finish with doing an accurate CMA/ Appraisal. Multiple Offers….Handle with Care, 3.0 hours of CE, this class will help you negotiate the ethical and strategic paths through multiple offers in the way that they commonly occur. Learn how to deal with simultaneous offers, contingent offers, and what you may disclose and may not disclose. An organized approach to multiple offers means fewer consumer complaints, too. Fair Housing Compliance, Easier than you think, 3.0 hours of CE, Can you afford an $11000 fine for a first time offense? Learn how to protect yourself from charges of discrimination. If charged, you are presumed GUILTY unless you can prove your innocence. Meets new DOS fair housing requirement.

[email protected] GSAR Newsletter produced by Redrock Communications, LLC • Website: www.redrockcom.com • Email: [email protected] REALTOR®® News November 2007 Page 4 November newsletter sponsored by Alliance Bank Affiliate & REALTOR Membership Dues News It is that time again; GSAR members will receive their dues notice on or about November 01, 2007, due January 07, 2008 without penalty. A late fee of $15.00 will be added January 08, 2008 to those of you with an unpaid balance. Membership will be terminated for members with a balance still remaining as of January 18, 2008. Balance due, including a late fee of $15.00 and reinstatement fee of $75.00, will be due at the time your service is restored. GSAR reserves the right to restore service within 24 hours of payment. On January 21, 2008 a 10 day notice will go out to the Designated REALTOR. Companies will be shut off February 04, 2008 for anyone with an unpaid balance still remaining. The following is a list of your 2008 annual dues. Please note that GSAR's local dues and NAR's National dues have both increased. Local Dues have increased to $260.00. NYSAR's State Dues are $62.00, and NYSAR's Special Assessment Dedicated to the Legal Action Fund and the Issues Mobilization Fund is $8.00. NAR's National Dues have increased to $80.00, and NAR's Special Assessment for the Public Awareness Campaign is $30.00. The RPAC Political Action Campaign is a voluntary contribution. RPAC represents over 400,000 politically active REALTORS that members of Congress want as their friends. RPAC is your voice, on a statewide and national level. They are fighting to make an impact on issues affecting your business. Designated REALTORS are asked to contribute $200.00. REALTOR members are asked to contribute $20.00. Your total for 2008, including RPAC, will be $460.00 for REALTOR members, and $640.00 for Designated REALTORS. Please watch for your billing, you should be receiving it shortly from your Broker. GSAR Affiliate Dues have increased to $300 per year in 2008. For 2008 dues of $80 per member, NAR computes 22 percent or $18 to be nondeductible for the member's income tax due to NAR lobbying efforts. Note that the entire $30 portion of dues related to public awareness qualifies as deductible dues. For 2008 dues and assessment of $70 per member, NYSAR computes $10.00 to be non-deductible for income tax purposes due to NYSAR's lobbying efforts.

If you find you are missing some expected showing activity when you run a report in ShowingValue on KIMweb, you should consider a few possible explanations. The most likely reason is that the showing agent has not done an eSYNC with their key since the showing. When you open a KeyBox, that activity is recorded in the KeyBox and in your key. The next time you eSYNC your key, the showing details transfer to the Supra system and will be added to the listing agent's showing activity on KIMweb. Until you eSYNC, the information has no way to reach the system. Another possibility is that the showing agent was let in by another agent and so did not need to open the KeyBox. Showing activity is maintained within the KIM system for 90 days. If you need showing activity older than 90 days, it can be pulled manually from archived data. Normally this is done only for cases involving litigation or the investigation of a crime. The KeyBox itself stores showing information regardless of age. While the old gray (AEII) boxes held the last 43 accesses, the iBox stores 100. Doing a "read" on the KeyBox with your key will verify whether the agent in question ever opened that KeyBox. If you are not yet taking advantage of the showing activity features that are already part of your Supra key service, download the "Is KIM working for you?" flyer at www.supraekey.com under Brochures and Images, or simply click here.

If so, you can renew your license online at http:// www.dos.state.ny.us/lcns/realestnew.htm or you may mail your renewal to the Department of State: NYS Department of State Division of Licensing Services P.O. Box 22001 Albany, NY 12201-2001 When you renew your license you should consider renewing at least 2 or 3 weeks prior to your expiration date. The turn around process can run 2 or 3 weeks before you receive your new license. This way, you are avoiding the possibility of not being able to work because of an expired license. Play it safe and allow adequate time.
