			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class='truelike' style='text-align: right;'><a href="http://truelike.com/review" class="tlc-like-button" data-text="Arizona&#8217;s Dual Agency" data-counturl="http://how2educate.com/2011/06/18/arizonas-dual-agency/" data-type="" data-category="" data-hashtag="">Like</a></p><p><g:plusone></g:plusone></p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Yes!  Arizona allows disclosed &#8220;dual agency&#8221;.</span></h3>
<p>First, we need to understand the agency structure in Arizona.</p>
<p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Agency-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-924" title="Agency 1" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Agency-1.jpg" alt="Arizona's Agency Structure" width="583" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>In Arizona, under the <a title="26th Amendment to AZ Constitution" href="http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/const/26/1.htm" target="_blank">26th amendment to the State Constitution</a>, real estate licensees are allowed to &#8220;&#8230;draft, or fill out or complete&#8230;&#8221; such documents as &#8220;&#8230;purchase agreements and earnest money receipts, deeds, mortgages, leases, assignments, releases, contracts for sale of realty, and bills of sale&#8221; when incidental to a transaction when acting as a salesperson or a broker for a party.  Licensees may not draft or fill out documents and charge to do so.  The listing agreement or the buyer broker agreement works as the employment agreement, spells out the representation, and addresses compensation.</p>
<p>Can a salesperson in Arizona represent a buyer or seller without a written employment agreement?</p>
<p>Yes.  But, under the <a title="Arizona Statute of Frauds" href="http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/44/00101.htm&amp;Title=44&amp;DocType=ARS" target="_blank">Statute of Frauds</a>, Arizona Courts will not entertain a claim for compensation without a written agreement.  To compensate for this situation, the REALTORS(R) can file with the Arizona Association of REALTORS(R) through their local Association for arbitration under the REALTOR(R) Code of Ethics.</p>
<p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/NegotiationSuccess.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-929" title="NegotiationSuccess" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/NegotiationSuccess.jpg" alt="Listing Agent" width="233" height="158" /></a> <a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/manWomanComputer.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-928" title="manWomanComputer" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/manWomanComputer.jpg" alt="Buyer looking for listings" width="136" height="165" /></a></p>
<p>Listing Salesperson + Seller                               Buyer Broker + Buyer</p>
<p>What happens when a Listing Salesperson who works with Regis Realty receives an offer from a Buyer Broker who is also with Regis Realty (both work under the same Designated Broker)?</p>
<h1><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">DUAL AGENCY</span></strong></h1>
<p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Limited.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-934" title="Limited" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Limited.jpg" alt="Limited sign" width="115" height="36" /></a> representation</p>
<p>It means that neither the Designated Broker or the Salesperson can &#8220;&#8230;represent the interests of one party to the exclusion or detriment of the other party&#8230;&#8221;  REALTORS(R) use a &#8220;<strong><a title="Consent to Limited Representation" href="http://www.aaronline.com/documents/LDRA_new.pdf" target="_blank">Consent to Limited Representation</a></strong>&#8221; form for the purpose of disclosure, consideration, and consent.</p>
<p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/amdoubt.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-936     alignright" title="amdoubt" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/amdoubt.jpg" alt="Question" width="52" height="125" /></a></p>
<p>How does it work?</p>
<p>Listing Salesperson cannot (without written permission from seller) disclose anything about the price or the terms but the list price and the terms offered.  The Buyer Broker cannot suggest a price other than the list price to the buyer-client.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>No confidential information may be disclosed in either direction.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Salespersons are obligated to deal honestly with all parties.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Negotiating for the client may not be possible.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Limited representation.</strong></li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">In Arizona, the employment agreements are with the Designated Broker. </span></h3>
<p>A Listing Salesperson acts for the Designated Broker when taking a listing, and the Buyer Broker acts for the Designated Broker when agreeing to represent a buyer.</p>
<p>Arizona requires disclosure of agency (not necessarily in writing) before an offer is written.</p>
<p>The REALTOR(R) community uses <a title="AAR READE real estate agency disclosure and election form" href="http://www.aaronline.com/documents/READAE_New.pdf" target="_blank">the READE form</a> for the purpose of letting the public know how agency works in Arizona and then the person can select the representation s/he wants or needs.  The READE form is only a disclosure form, not an employment agreement.</p>
<p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Agency-2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-942 alignnone" title="Agency 2" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Agency-2.jpg" alt="Arizona Dual Agency" width="604" height="508" /></a></p>
<p>Listing Salesperson also represents buyer =</p>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;">DUAL AGENCY</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The same rules apply.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In each case, the Designated Broker is the only &#8220;broker/agent&#8221; in the mix.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Dual Agency is legal in Arizona as long as it has been disclosed and the clients have consented to the limited representation.</span></p>
<h1>Question:</h1>
<p>Should a buyer go directly to the Listing Agent for information about a property?</p>
<p>It never hurts to talk to the Listing Agent.</p>
<p>Do you want to be represented by the Listing Agent as a Dual Agent?</p>
<p>Or do you want a Buyer Broker advocate to assist you with your purchase?</p>
<h2>QUESTION:</h2>
<p>As a Seller, you want everyone to see your listing and many of you will list with a company who is known to move property.  You will be asked to sign an Arizona Listing (employment) Agreement that says you want the company to show the property to any potential buyers, even if it places you in a dual agency position.   <strong>The new SVVAR Exclusive Right to Sell Employment Agreement has no &#8220;Agency&#8221; information in the agreement at all</strong>.  Be sure to read what you sign and be sure that your agent gives you a READE form (disclosure) with the listing agreement.  In Sedona and the Verde Valley, agents who do not give the Seller a READE form could be guilty of not giving agency disclosure before an agreement is signed.</p>
<p>The question becomes:  Do you understand Arizona&#8217;s Dual Agency = Limited Agency representation?</p>
<p>Give it thought&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class='truelike' style='text-align: right;'><a href="http://truelike.com/review" class="tlc-like-button" data-text="Does “As Is” Mean “No Seller Repairs”?" data-counturl="http://how2educate.com/2011/05/15/does-%e2%80%9cas-is%e2%80%9d-mean-%e2%80%9cno-seller-repairs%e2%80%9d/" data-type="" data-category="" data-hashtag="">Like</a></p><p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Danger.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-875" title="Danger" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Danger.jpg" alt="" width="597" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>In a prelicense contract writing class a newbie said he needed to use an “As Is” form in the counter offer because the “seller didn’t want to make repairs…”</p>
<p>Three or four agents mentioned the same words in a slightly different context, but with the same intent during an attorney-taught real estate CE class.  The surprise came when the attorney did not clarify “As Is” and it took two brokers in the audience to make clarifying statements.</p>
<p>So what is the “As Is” addendum and how should it be used?</p>
<p>If your Buyer has signed an “as is” addendum and submitted it with the offer, or agreed to an “as is” condition with the counter offer, does that mean the Buyer cannot ask the Seller for repairs?</p>
<p><strong>No</strong>.</p>
<p>Does the Seller have to grant the Buyer’s wish regarding the repairs?</p>
<p><strong>No. </strong></p>
<p>Does everyone need to get their shorts in a knot about it?</p>
<p><strong>No.</strong></p>
<p>Do you know what an “as is” really does?</p>
<p>First:  The Seller and Buyer agree that the premises will be sold “…in its existing condition.”</p>
<p><strong>Believe it or not, nowhere in the AAR &#8220;as is&#8221; addendum does it say that seller does not have to pay for repairs</strong>.  The AAR form only says that the “Seller shall not be obligated to correct any defects that may be discovered…”  Bless the listing agents who state in the Agent Remarks of the listing:  “Seller will not pay for any repairs”, instead of stating “Must include an As Is addendum”.</p>
<p>If the Buyer’s agent recommends that his/her Buyer fill out and attach an “As Is” addendum with the purchase offer, what will the Buyer give up?</p>
<p><a title="AAR &quot;as is&quot; addendum" href="http://www.aaronline.com/documents/aia.pdf" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #008080;">“As Is” addendum</span></strong></a></p>
<p>“…Seller makes no warranty to Buyer, either express or implied, as to the condition of the premises, including but not limited to, Seller’s Warranties in Lines 166-168 of Section 5a…”</p>
<p><a title="AAR purchase contract" href=" http://www.aaronline.com/legal/forms/sample-pdfs/sample-residential-purchase-contract.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Lines 166-168 of Section 5a.</strong></span></a></p>
<p>“Seller warrants and shall maintain and Repair the Premises so that at the earlier of possession or COE, (i) all heating, cooling, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems (including swimming pool and/or spa, motors, filter systems, cleaning systems and heaters, if any), free-standing range/oven, and built-in appliances will be in working condition…”</p>
<p>The “As Is” language <strong>removes</strong> the warranties on these items.  Can that be good for the buyer?</p>
<p>And, “&#8230;Buyer waives (2) zoning of the Premises, or (3) Premises’ fitness for any particular use or purpose…”. <strong> Translation:</strong> Seller is not warranting the &#8220;zoning&#8221; or&#8230;</p>
<p>Okay, so a <strong>bank</strong> would understandably want an “As Is” addendum included with any purchase offer on their properties because they are not occupying the premises, have probably never seen the property, and probably acquired it through a Trustee Sale.</p>
<p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/buyer_beware.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-879" title="buyer_beware" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/buyer_beware.gif" alt="" width="102" height="121" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="color: #000000;">But really now</span><strong>, <span style="color: #000000;">a Seller who has lived on the property for 10 years wants an “As Is” addendum attached to the purchase agreement?</span> </strong></span></p>
<p>Why?  Is there something to hide?</p>
<p>The Seller does not want to pay for any repairs?  Maybe.  Maybe, buyers beware&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/infrared-house.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-882" title="infrared house" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/infrared-house.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="276" /></a></p>
<p>Would a home inspection disclose issues like this?</p>
<p>If the sale goes through and there is a dispute, will the “As Is” stand up in court?</p>
<p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/judge-judy.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-884" title="judge-judy" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/judge-judy-188x300.jpg" alt="" width="113" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>Only if the Seller has disclosed “all known latent material defects…” and has given the Buyer the opportunity to investigate and do his/her due diligence.  In Arizona real estate CE classes you will hear reference to “S-Corp”.  <a title="how2educate &quot;S-Corp&quot;" href="http://how2arizona.com/tag/arizona-real-estate-fraud/" target="_blank"><strong>Read more about it</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> Property is a top floor condo.  Buyer has an inspection performed.  Inspector misses an area where the ceiling and the wall intersect.  Had the inspector gone up on the ladder (ceiling 16 ft high), he would have seen a small discoloration which would have disclosed a current leak.  Buyers move in after closing and during a rain storm they have water dripping from that same small area.  Nothing on the SPDS.  Buyer calls in HOA and insurance company.  Insurance company says “pre-existing condition”.  HOA says previous owner was aware of the leak and had requested HOA take care of it, but the HOA was still getting bids when the property conveyed to the buyers and the meeting minutes did not reflect the issue in the packet received by the Buyer during the inspection period.</p>
<p>Will “As Is” stand up should this go to Court?</p>
<p><strong>You be the judge…</strong></p>
<p>Ask yourself:  what lurks behind “As Is”?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class='truelike' style='text-align: right;'><a href="http://truelike.com/review" class="tlc-like-button" data-text="What It Means To Be Designated Broker" data-counturl="http://how2educate.com/2011/05/01/what-it-means-to-be-designated-broker/" data-type="" data-category="" data-hashtag="">Like</a></p><p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mediation.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-848" title="mediation" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mediation.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="227" /></a> You are the end of the line, or as Harry Truman was shown to believe:  &#8221;The buck stops here.&#8221;  Are you ready?</p>
<p>Under the Arizona Department of Real Estate, a Designated Broker is one who:</p>
<ul>
<li>Supervises the licensees under the employing broker (the company)</li>
<li>Is responsible for the office policies</li>
<li>Is responsible to be sure all licensees have signed an Independent Contractor Agreement (IGA), if licensee is considered an Independent Contractor</li>
<li>Is responsible for all agreements written by licensee</li>
<li>Is responsible to review all listing and purchase documents &#8220;within 10 days of execution&#8221;</li>
<li>To see that all listing agreements are in writing</li>
<li>More&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>Licensees are Independent Contractors under <a title="IRS Code Section 3508 real estate agents" href="http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/26/C/25/3508" target="_blank"><strong>IRS Code Section 3508</strong></a>, if:</p>
<p><em>(A) such individual is a licensed real estate agent,</em></p>
<p><em>(B) substantially all of the remuneration (whether or not paid in cash) for the services performed by such individual as a real estate agent is directly related to sales or other output (including the performance of services) rather than to the number of hours worked, and</em></p>
<p><em>(C) the services performed by the individual are performed pursuant to a written contract between such individual and the person for whom the services are performed and such contract provides that the individual will not be treated as an employee with respect to such services for Federal tax purposes.</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s why the employing broker (= the company) needs to have an Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA) between the company and the licensee.  If no ICA, the designated broker will be responsible to deduct taxes, among other requirements.</p>
<p><img src="https://secure.cmax.americanexpress.com/Internet/CCSG/Affiliates/-Shared_Affiliates_Images/Blue%20Separation%20Bar%20450x10.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>Every broker is responsible for developing Office Policies.  New designated brokers can go to the Arizona Department of Real Estate to find an <a title="ADRE Office Policy Manual Outline" href="http://www.azre.gov/Aud/Documents/Broker_Office_Policies_Manual.pdf" target="_blank">Office Policy Manual</a> Outline.  While somewhat outdated, due to the digital world, it is a place to start.</p>
<p>Be advised that if you are ever involved in a lawsuit, a fair housing complaint, or possibly an ADRE complaint, your Office Policies will be scrutinized.  Take the time to write them with the concept in mind that the licensees under you will use them as a guideline (you hope).</p>
<p><img src="https://secure.cmax.americanexpress.com/Internet/CCSG/Affiliates/-Shared_Affiliates_Images/Blue%20Separation%20Bar%20450x10.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>Listing agreements must be in writing.</p>
<p><em>32-2151.02. Real estate employment agreements; definition</em></p>
<p><em>A. All real estate employment agreements shall:</em></p>
<ol>
<li><em>Be written in clear and unambiguous language.</em></li>
<li><em>Fully set forth all material terms, including the terms of broker compensation.</em></li>
<li><em>Have a definite duration or expiration date, showing dates of inception and expiration.</em></li>
<li><em>Be signed by all parties to the agreement.</em></li>
</ol>
<p>So, &#8220;until it sells&#8221; is not a definitive expiration date.  It follows the same belief that the use of &#8220;upon presentation&#8221; in a purchase agreement for the time for acceptance is also too vague and not definitive.  It&#8217;s hard to determine when someone might or might not be in breach.</p>
<p><img src="https://secure.cmax.americanexpress.com/Internet/CCSG/Affiliates/-Shared_Affiliates_Images/Blue%20Separation%20Bar%20450x10.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>Designated brokers are known to lay awake nights and cringe upon receiving a certified letter, or a call from a licensee that starts with &#8220;can we talk&#8221;.   These people are Independent Contractors, not employees.</p>
<p><img src="http://fartheroutnearerto.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/herding-cats-cartoon.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t think you are cut out to be a designated broker, you can always work for one as an &#8220;associate broker&#8221;&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class='truelike' style='text-align: right;'><a href="http://truelike.com/review" class="tlc-like-button" data-text="Will Arizona Have One MLS?" data-counturl="http://how2educate.com/2011/04/23/will-arizona-have-one-mls/" data-type="" data-category="" data-hashtag="">Like</a></p><p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/mls.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-820" title="mls" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/mls-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="101" /></a></p>
<p><strong>On Wednesday, April 27, at 1PM</strong>, the Sedona Verde Valley REALTORS(R) will meet at the Sedona Elk&#8217;s Lodge to hear about the proposed endeavor to have ONE (1) multiple listing service for the entire state.  One MLS.</p>
<p>If you are a consumer, you would say:  &#8221;<strong>No brainer!</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>Some REALTOR(R) members, both salespersons and brokers, do not see it that way.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.rhythmeering.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/it.jpg" alt="" width="203" height="156" /></p>
<p>So what could possibly keep a real estate person from not wanting to share their listings with REALTORS(R) from all over the state?  After all, isn&#8217;t it the job of the listing agent to market properties for sale?  Wouldn&#8217;t you want to expose them to anyone and everyone?  Would a seller NOT want broader exposure?</p>
<p>On the <a title="We need a statewide data sharing entity" href="http://blog.aaronline.com/2011/04/we-need-a-statewide-data-sharing-entity%E2%80%A6/comment-page-1/#comment-967" target="_blank">AAR blog site</a>, Jay Thompson commented:  &#8221;We take listings to sell them. Our clients want maximum exposure for their home. A statewide MLS is a big step toward providing that.&#8221;  And Jay further commented:  &#8221;Will someone in Tucson, or Flagstaff, or Kingman, or Timbuktoo, AZ see a listing we have for sale and decide to buy it (or tell someone else about it)? Maybe. Someone might argue the odds of that happening are slim. Well, the odds of it happening right now, with no statewide MLS, are zero. I’ll take slim over zero any day.&#8221;</p>
<p>Truth.  Buyers want to work with someone they trust.  Many people call a REALTOR(R) friend to find out who they should work with in a particular area, while others go online, find a property, call a REALTOR(R) and set up an appointment.  But, the one thing that is constant today:  The client wants to be in control.</p>
<p><img src="http://marketacquisition.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/change-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="162" height="122" /></p>
<p>Many REALTORS(R) argue that we have REALTOR.com.  True.  But, REALTOR.com has slipped as a real estate search engine over the last couple of years.  In May of 2010, REALTOR.com was ranked 3rd.  <a title="Realtor.com SEO ranking" href="http://www.netmagellan.com/us-real-estate-seo-ranking-report-830.html" target="_blank">Click here</a>.  Another ranking by hitwise on 4-16-11 shows REALTOR.com as #2.  <a title="REALTOR.com real estate ranking - hitwise" href="http://www.hitwise.com/us/datacenter/main/" target="_blank">Click here</a> (and scroll down to real estate).   The point is that there are many different ways for the consumer to find real estate listings now versus in years past.  The landscape has changed.</p>

<p>Todd Menard, <a title="Todd Menard's Facebook comments about ARBI" href="http://www.facebook.com/notes/todd-c-menard/arbi-arizona-realtors-business-interface-and-statewide-mls/10150445578005384" target="_blank"><strong>reminded me</strong></a> of the new <strong>ARBI platform</strong> being put out by the Arizona Association of REALTORS(R) which merges all aspects into a paperless office and at the heart of the platform is one MLS.  My brokerage firm has been paperless for 4 years and we are completely on board with this proposal.  Our state REALTOR(R) association has transcended the present with tools to help us achieve our future.</p>
<p>Tiffany Cloud &#8220;Agreed!&#8221; with the statement of the AAR blog post:  “When I hear some of the negative reasons for not wanting a statewide MLS, I am reminded of the subagency days when we all represented the sellers. For those of us who are aged enough to remember those days, we remember how many agents thought buyer broker representation would be the ruin of our REALTOR® way of life. Actually, we became better agents, and we learned to better represent our clients. That’s the issue now. How we represent our client(s).”</p>
<p><img src="http://emergencysystemsplanning.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/bigstockphoto_plan___848344.jpg" alt="" width="158" height="104" /></p>
<p>But, perhaps the most poignant comment made was when a friend reminded me about the Sun City Board of REALTORS(R) who <strong>chose not to join</strong> the aggregation of small MLSs in the Phoenix area.  They opted not to join what became ARMLS.  <strong>Today, the Sun City Board/Association of REALTORS(R) no longer exists.</strong></p>

<p>Change is not easy and I use as my email signature line, a quote from Jack Welch, past CEO and Chairman of General Electric:  &#8221;<strong>Change before you have to</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>The sum of the whole can be found in the words of Seth Godin&#8217;s, <strong>&#8220;<a title="Seth Godin's &quot;The Realization is Now&quot;" href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2011/04/the-realization-is-here.html" target="_blank">The realization is now</a>.&#8221;</strong></p>

<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;">Real Estate Agents:  Read this before your next Short Sale.</span></h2>
<div id="_mcePaste">Combs Law Group, P. C.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">New FTC Rule Regulates Loan Negotiators</div>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;">By: Christopher A. Combs</span></h2>
<p>The Federal Trade Commission has adopted a new rule, fully <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">effective January 31, 2011</span></strong>, to protect financially distressed homeowners from deceptive practices of for-profit companies that provide mortgage assistance relief services, or &#8220;MARS.&#8221; See FTC MARS Rule, 16 C.F.R. 322 (hereinafter the &#8220;Rule&#8221;). Notably, the Rule:</p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">(1) prohibits MARS providers from making false or misleading claims;</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">(2) mandates that MARS providers make specific disclosures;</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">(3) bars the collection of advance fees for these services;</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">(4) prohibits anyone from cooperating with someone they know is engaged in a violation of the Rule; and</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">(5) imposes record-keeping and compliance requireme</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">nts</span>.</h3>
<div id="_mcePaste">A &#8220;MARS provider&#8221; is anyone who provides, offers to provide, or arranges for others to provide, any mortgage assistance relief services, including helping consumers negotiate a short sale, loan modification, or avoid foreclosure.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">What Does the Law Mean for Real Estate Brokers?</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">The Rule does not apply to real estate brokers who provide only real estate brokerage services to their clients, and who do not attempt to negotiate or otherwise provide services related to obtaining lender approval of a short sale or loan modification.</span></strong> Practices such as listing a property, showing a property, and negotiating the transaction are permissible. On the other hand, <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>a broker who participates in short sale or loan modification negotiations must comply with the Rule&#8217;s requirements regarding disclosures, advance fees, representations, record-keeping, and compliance.</strong></span> In addition, a broker must never provide substantial assistance or support any MARS provider if the broker knows or consciously avoids knowing that the MARS provider is engaged in any act or practice that violates this Rule. Therefore, if a broker refers a consumer to a MARS provider, the broker should confirm that the MARS provider complies with the Rule.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Penalties for violations of the Rule are severe: anyone who violates the Rule could face prosecution by the State Attorney General and civil penalties.</span></strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Attorneys are exempt from the requirements of the Rule if they perform MARS as a part of their legal practice, are licensed in the state, and follow proper accounting guidelines.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">The attorneys at Combs Law Group, P.C. are available to assist real estate brokers and homeowners with negotiations of short sales or loan modifications.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">If you would like more information regarding deficiency lawsuits, short sales, loan modifications, bankruptcy or other real estate related issues, please call our office at 602.957.9810 and arrange for an initial consultation with one of our attorneys.</div>

<p><a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/iPad-iPhone.jpg"><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-500" title="iPad &amp; iPhone" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/iPad-iPhone-300x237.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="237" /></strong></a><strong>This AM a very good friend of mine sent me birthday greetings and an attachment of a </strong><a title="WSJ iPad for Christmas article" href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704259704576033941846942596.html" target="_blank"><strong>Wall Street Journal article</strong></a><strong> entitled:</strong></p>
<p><strong> &#8221;<em> Why I Don&#8217;t Want an iPad for Christmas&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>She asked me what I thought of it.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here is my response to her:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Actually that can be said of any application&#8230; but think this out.  Had you purchased an iPad when I did, you would already have paid for it by it&#8217;s abilities and convenience.  Return on Investment.  ROI.<br />
 <br />
While I am moving away from Apple, it&#8217;s not because of &#8220;the screen&#8221; (give me a break &#8211; the screen is fine), but because of 2 things:  no flash and I have to buy into Apple&#8217;s mobileme ($99/year subscription) in order to be able to do pictures, write, file pictures&#8230;  The transition requires a new mindset.  That was never my goal.<br />
 <br />
<a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/F2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-507" title="F2" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/F2-166x300.jpg" alt="" width="166" height="300" /></a>I am a PC girl.  Love my new Samsumg Focus&#8230;and I have an entire Office Suite on it.  I use Word.  I can access anything from any computer at Windows Live&#8230;  To have 2 systems (Mac and Microsoft) makes me less productive.<a href="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/F6.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-508" title="F6" src="http://how2educate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/F6-168x300.jpg" alt="" width="168" height="300" /></a><br />
 <br />
When I was in Flagstaff starting my career I had the 2nd fax machine in the Real Estate industry&#8230; First American Title had the first.  Who was more efficient and had time to do more deals?  Moi!  I wasn&#8217;t running all over town, up and down I-17 to get documents signed.<br />
 <br />
I also had the first mobile computer &#8211; a Panasonic modem that if connected to a phone could access MLS and get a printout of the listings and sales.  That along with my Motorola mobile phone (yes, the one that looked like a brick with an antenna and cost $32/minute) at Saturday and Sunday Open Houses made me very popular with buyers and sellers.  Sold the 3rd most real estate in Flag that year.<br />
 <br />
The reason to embrace technology before others is to have an edge.<br />
 <br />
So how do I feel about technology right now?  I like my iPad for traveling, but I am looking for one of the new tablet PCs that will allow me to have the simplicity of the iPad, but the Microsoft products I prefer to use. <br />
 <br />
There is no right or wrong decision when buying a computer.  </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Buy what you need.  </strong></li>
<li><strong>Buy what gives you an edge.&#8221;</strong></li>
</ul>

<h3>Recently a listing agent was so distressed by what he considered to be an outrageously low offer from a buyer that he ranted he would not present the offer.</h3>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;"><em>Can a listing agent NOT present an offer?</em></span></h3>
<h3>Even a verbal one?</h3>
<h3>This is from the Arizona Department of Real Estate&#8217;s Administrative Code, or what we in the business refer to as &#8220;Commissioner&#8217;s Standards&#8221;:</h3>
<p> </p>
<h3><a href="file:///F:/Business%20Planning/R4-28-802"><span style="color: #993300;">R4-28-802</span></a><span style="color: #993300;"> states:</span></h3>
<h3><a name="pgfId-18472"></a>&#8220;&#8230;B. During the term of a listing agreement, a salesperson or broker shall promptly submit to the salesperson&#8217;s or broker&#8217;s client all offers to purchase or lease the listed property. Upon receiving permission from the seller or lessor, the salesperson or broker acting on behalf of the seller or lessor may disclose to all offerors or their agents the existence and terms of all additional offers on the listed property. The salesperson or broker shall submit to the client all offers made prior to closing and is not released from this duty by the client&#8217;s acceptance of an offer unless the client instructs the salesperson or broker in writing to cease submitting offers or unless otherwise provided in the listing agreement, lease, or purchase contract. The salesperson or broker may voluntarily submit offers to the seller or lessor regardless of any limitations contained in the listing agreement and may submit offers after the listing agreement is terminated&#8230;&#8221;</h3>

<h3><a title="STefan Swanepoel's Twitter page" href="http://twitter.com/#!/Swanepoel" target="_blank">Stefan Swanepoel</a> asked many of us to <a title="Stefan Swanepoel's blog" href="http://realblogging.com/stefan-swanepoel/what-words-best-describe/#ixzz17jht9fl6" target="_blank">describe in one or two words, the last decade</a>.  This was my contribution:</h3>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">For me, personally:<br />
</span><br />
9/11<br />
compassion<br />
reframing<br />
refocusing<br />
networking<br />
stretching<br />
learning<br />
encompassing<br />
trusting</h3>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">For the world:<br />
</span><br />
9/11<br />
compassion<br />
reframing<br />
refocusing<br />
networking<br />
stretching<br />
learning<br />
encompassing<br />
trusting<br />
wondering</h3>
<h3>In 2001 my husband and I were in the process of moving to Oahu from the Big Island of Hawaii and change was in the air for us.  We had purchased a small condo on the water at the Colony Surf in the Diamond Head area and used it for weekends or times when I was teaching GRI in the Oahu area.  The morning of 9/11 I received a call from my Phoenix friend Susan who asked if I was watching TV&#8230;no, but I turned on CNN.  I was stunned.  <span style="color: #008080;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>And then I realized the quiet</em>.</span></span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">Perhaps that was the alarm clock for the rest of the decade.</span></h3>
<h3>Real Estate, as an industry, was moving along without understanding that the world had become one.  We were in a monster seller&#8217;s market and our eyes were wide shut.  We watched &#8220;shock and awe&#8221;.  We groused about &#8220;GW&#8221;.  We quit negotiating for our clients, rather we negotiated with them to submit an offer that would be accepted by the seller.  We believed that the economy issues were short term.  We forgot the past.  We forgot the cyclical nature of our business and many of us suffered with our clients.</h3>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">But, Americans are resiliant</span> and have an incredible ability to roll up their sleeves and look for the niche, to innovate, to create.  Google.  Facebook.  Twitter.  The world of the print media morphing into online reading&#8230;the Kindle.  Touch tablet PCs.  The iPhone and the iPad.  Too many to mention.  Our young minds at work.  They show us the way.</h3>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">What will the next 10 years bring? </span></h3>
<h3>The American spirit lives, creates, innovates, and knows no bounds.  If we can rid ourselves of the angst and the outrage, we will continue to lead the world.  Our contribution to the world is our compassion and our ability to reframe and refocus. </h3>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">As for the real estate industry?</span>  This is my personal 3rd downturn.  As you have guessed, real estate is my career and my profession, not just a stepping stone to another career.  We will survive and we will be stronger from it.  Each time I have seen real estate make major corrections and strides.  It&#8217;s during down times that we catch up with where we should be.  We take a hard look at where we are and what we are doing&#8230;we adjust.  We quit resting on our laurels.</h3>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">The ship is turning.</span>  The next 10 years?  REALTOR.com will be morphed into something else.  MLSs will aggregate.  The consumer will change the way we serve them.  Actually, they already have&#8230;</h3>
<p> </p>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">PS  </span><a title="Marc Davison's blog" href="http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=4f41542477b1a23075498fcb0&amp;id=430c794f6d&amp;fblike=true&amp;e=bc98ebb350" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">Marc Davison</span></a><span style="color: #800080;"> says it better than I&#8230;</span></h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class='truelike' style='text-align: right;'><a href="http://truelike.com/review" class="tlc-like-button" data-text="Happy Thanksgiving" data-counturl="http://how2educate.com/2010/11/25/happy-thanksgiving/" data-type="" data-category="" data-hashtag="">Like</a></p><p>This tickled my funny bone:</p>
<p><img id="il_fi" src="http://www.mobilewhack.com/wp-content/pics/2009/11/engine-hoist-turkey-fryer.jpg" alt="" width="351" height="233" /></p>
<p>Women prefer more traditional methods of cooking a turkey.  One of them is doing it in the kitchen.  By nature, women do everything in their power to keep from having to call 911.  It&#8217;s in our genes!  When the police person or fire fighters show up, they look at us and they roll their eyes or suppress a laugh. </p>
<p>With guys they say:  &#8220;Hey man, what happened? &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Love the insurance company ad talking about the number of houses that burned down when turkey-frying became a garage/driveway event. </p>
<p><strong>Seriously.  </strong></p>
<p>Thanksgiving is a time of reflection.  A time to realize that each of us is not the center of the Universe.  Each of us owes what we are and what we do to someone else.  <a title="Seth Godin's Thanksgiving post" href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2010/11/a-modern-thanksgiving.html" target="_blank">Seth Godin</a> says it well.  Each of us &#8230; well, click on the link. </p>
<p>how2educate LLC wants to thank each and every one of you who have helped us make 2010 a successful year.  We appreciate your support and your attendance in our classroom&#8230;or just the reading of our blog posts.  You complete us!</p>
