IT’S THE RULE

by Terry Penza, RCE, CAE

 

Managing Multiple Purchase Offers

 

The following is a response from the National Association of REALTORS® in respect to NAR guidelines regarding managing multiple purchase offers:

 

In response to your inquiry, this is to advise that the Code of Ethics neither requires nor does it prohibit “shopping” of offers to induce other buyers to make higher offers.

 

The Interpretations and Procedures Subcommittee of the NAR Professional Standards Committee have discussed this question of “shopping” offers.  The general consensus reached (though not reflected, at least to date, in the Code) was that simply telling a cooperating broker or a potential purchaser that another offer is on the table or is anticipated is not unfair to the first offeror; nor is there any obligation to tell the first offeror that the existence of his or her offer (or the fact that an offer is anticipated) has been shared with another potential purchaser or with a cooperating broker.  In the same light, though, there is no duty under the Code requiring listing brokers to advise potential purchasers that other offers exist or that other offers are expected.  The question of whether a listing broker could not only divulge the existence of one buyer’s offer to another buyer, but also the price offered, has not been addressed.

Some have contended that in multiple offer situations every offeror should be advised of the existence of other offers and given the opportunity to reconsider and perhaps increase their offer.  For example, if the existence of Buyer A’s offer is divulged to Buyer B, then Buyer A should be apprised of that disclosure and be given the opportunity to better his offer and then, if Buyer A does not increase his offer, then Buyer B should be afforded the same privilege.  Constructively, this creates an auction, which is not something ordinarily called for in terms of a listing contract or required under the Code.  In other instances listing brokers have taken things a step further and, in multiple offer situations, counseled clients not to accept any offer and instead to advise all buyers that multiple offers existed and to give each buyer the chance to increase their offer.  The drawback is, of course, that all of the buyers may withdraw their offers and pursue other properties.  This, too, is not required under the Code.

The key seems to be reasonableness.  For example, while the Code requires absolute fidelity to the client’s interests, it would seem unreasonable to expect that listing brokers would devote all of their time and effort to advancing the interests of one client to the exclusion of others.  It would seem the same test would apply to the efforts that must be made in securing offers for clients to consider.

Chairman of the Board

Roxane Malo

 

Roxane Malo’s exposure to the business world came at a young age by way of the family’s automobile franchise.  Through summer vacations and a high school internship program, she was able to learn the different facets of the automobile industry.  Roxane continued to work in the family business while attending Mundelein College in Chicago, where she received a Bachelor’s Degree in both Business Management and Theater.

Roxane was a woman before her time in a male dominated business which tended to prohibit her ownership of an automobile franchise herself.  She then focused her attention in the field of real estate by attending a real estate education program and becoming a licensed REALTOR®.  Though very young, she pursued in this challenging career and became the top producer at Quinlan & Tyson in Glenview.  In 1987, after 12 years in real estate, Roxane became one of the founding partners of Village Green Realty in Winnetka, where she has enjoyed the benefits and rewards of a very successful team of partners and associates.

During her real estate career, Roxane has served as a director of the North Shore Board as well as Secretary/Treasurer.  She has also served in the capacity of a Director of the Illinois Association of REALTORS® and Chairman Elect for the newly formed North Shore - Barrington Association.  She has donated unlimited efforts on NSBAR committees for Professional Standards, Mini-Convention, and Finance and at the state level has served on legislative and finance committees.  Her most recent appointments include the Association Operations Member Involvement Group and the Professional Standards Committee for the Illinois Association of REALTORS®.

With her husband, Tom, and her 15 year old twins, Shannon and Erich, Roxane currently resides in Northfield.  Her son and daughter are sophomores at New Trier High School.  Roxane adds, “I look forward to the many challenges ahead in both my professional and personal lives.”

I had the good fortune to witness humanitarian work first hand today.  I attended open houses for the two buildings that Eve Beverly and her sister, Dedra DeSavieu, rehabilitated at 5627 and 5532 South Indiana.  As Eve says, "They are change agents in the neighborhood."  It is a great neighborhood, with good transportation, near the Dan Ryan, near Hyde Park, the University of Chicago, and the Museum of Science and Industry.  I really admire people like Eve and Dedra who have the courage to put their talent and money where their mouths are.  They sustained multiple break-ins, with claw-footed tubs and radiators stolen.  They also have a unit that is handicapped accessible. 

We certainly gave our Humanitarian Award to the right people and can be proud of our selection.

Thought the members of NSBAR should know that the recognition that we gave Eve and Dedra was very well deserved.

 

Marilyn D. Glazer

 

I have more issues with agents not providing lot size dimensions and no apparent fines being incurred.  Additionally, I do a certain amount of business with the disabled.  There is very little on the input form that provides me information re: accessibility of the building and its garage.  I can never ask an agent to determine accessibility of a certain home as that is dependant upon a particular buyer’s chair.  But if there was a way to save me 30-40 phone calls, I would truly appreciate it.  Elevators do not mean a building is accessible!  It amazes me how many developers have gotten around the codes.  The first development I have found to be compliant is Gallery 400 on West Ontario.  Single family home info on accessibility is non-existent.  I often get to a home and there are stairs from the front  and/or a garage that does not allow me to show the home.  Agents need to understand that even one or two steps can be an obstacle.  Needless to say, I always call ahead, but it would be far more productive if the MLS input form would provide some sort of field.  The current one is inadequate.

PROFESSONAL DEVELOPMENT

By Lori Lasday, CRB, CRS, GRI

 

It’s beyond arguing now that you have to use today’s technology to capture market share in our industry.  The question now is, “Where do I start?”  Here are a few suggestions designed to maximize your effectiveness in using today’s technology.

 

Hire An Assistant Who

Knows Technology
An assistant who knows technology and who takes care of your technology needs frees you up to do what you do best: meet people and cultivate business.  It’s as simple as that. If you have 25 or more transactions and don’t have a personal assistant, you’re tied up doing the "little things" instead of generating business. If you currently have an assistant, but he or she doesn’t know and use technology, you’re severely handicapped.

 

 

Hire A “Techie”

If you have a personal assistant who knows technology, terrific; if you don’t, then hire a “techie,” someone to whom you can turn over all your technical needs.  You get the money-making concepts, the techie carries them out for you.  The simplest way to hire someone who can take over all your technology for you is to call your local high school and ask the computer science instructor to recommend a student who knows technology.  He or she will be able to do everything for you.  If you get a digital camera, for example, give it to the techie for a week, then have him or her show you how to use it.  The same holds true if you want to learn a real estate database, start using multimedia in your presentations, or any other technical task.  Remember: you’re the CEO of your company, charged with its growth: hire someone to implement your technology!

 

Take A One-Day

Windows Course
If you know the main functions of Windows (cut, paste, copy, organizing and finding information on your hard drive, inserting images and sound files, etc.), software and Web navigation becomes much less intimidating, and you’ll start maximizing the power of the tools you have.

 

Attend the RS 206 Two-Day Technology Course
It’s the best "put it all together" technology course in the real estate industry by far, covering everything from making money with a database to making money from your Web site…and everything in-between. Go to the RS Council’s site at http://www.rscouncil.com for a course description and registration information. Do it now!

 

Attend a One-Day CyberStars™ National Tour Seminar
These sessions are unique in our industry: three sales associates who dominate their market through the use of technology spend all day sharing what they do and how they do it. An unparalleled amount of hard-hitting information, all of it designed to show you one thing: how to make money using today’s technology. I’ve never seen such rave reviews from attendees as I see from the CyberStars™ National Tour Seminars. Go to

www.afhseminars.com/tourinfo.htm for information and registration.

 

Following these five simple steps will teach you what you need to know in order to use today’s technology and will put you well on the road to capturing increased market share!

COMPUTER BITS & BYTES

By Charlie Nunnemaker

 

Win Modems NO, NO, NO !

LT Modems NO, NO, NO !

I don't know how to say this any other way. The regular modems that ALL computer makers ship in their PC's are one of the above. They don't work for us… period. If your computer is freezing or disconnecting while on the MLS either searching or printing you have a modem problem. We can try and help you but it won't be a good fix. Realtors need for the MLS, a hardware based or controller based modem. Nobody is making these anymore except for some external modems. The only modem I know of that is worth a darn is made by a company called Actiontec. See them at www.actiontec.com on the web.

To check your modem, right click on My Computer, then click on Properties, then click on Device Manager, then double click on Modems.  Read the modem that appears, if it says win modem or LT modem you've got the lousy modem. We can try and help your setup on the phone. If that doesn't work, you can buy an external modem: 3com 56k fax/data modem.

I mentioned last month that Gateway shipped several modems made by Actiontec to one of our member offices. All MLS problems were solved. However, getting anyone at Gateway that knows what you mean by asking for an Actiontec modem is near impossible. Dell has a partnership with Actiontec for modems but we can't find anyone in sales at Dell that knows what we're talking about either. I wish I had an answer.  We, REALTORS® are in a small minority of users that need the special modems and so nobody at any PC companies knows what we're asking for. It may get better sometime next year. (See next paragraph)

 

PCI Hardware Modems

Modems are a problem. We, as REALTORS®, need real ones that are hardware based. Meaning that there ARE certain chips on the modem. If the chips are left off, the modem is software based. These chips are UART chips. (Universal Asychronis Receive Transmit) Without these chips on the modem the handling of incoming and outgoing data from you computer must be done by the CPU or Pentium chip in your computer. This is a cheap way to do it and thus the "God of Least Cost" wins again. Also, software modems rely on pure Windows 32 bit programs to work. All our MLS software: Viewpoint, Landmark and even PC Access are 16 bit programs. If you look at PC Access the face is a windows program but underneath, it looks and acts just like good old Viewpoint and it is in fact a DOS based 16 bit program. This is why the board is so adamant about getting a good hardware based modem.

For the past year or so, real modems have been tough to come by. The cheap "win modems" work on the Internet (32 bit programs) but not on the MLS.

Part of the problem is that modems will be gone in couple of years. Cable modems and DSL will replace them. Both of these services offer much faster and more reliable data delivery over lines all ready in your house. Since there's NO future in modems, companies like 3com (formerly US Robotics) have decided to not spend another nickel on modem development. What to do…

I have hope that modems made with Lucent Technology chips that are "controller-based" (that's the UART chip) and designed to go into new computers PCI slots will fill the bill. As of this writing, Gateway sent one of these new Lucent modems to an office and it has worked very well for a little over a week. The modem is made by a company called ActionTec. I've never heard of them before, but Lucent is certainly reputable (formerly AT&T technology) and the modem I've seen from Gateway is doing the job. When I find out where you can purchase an ActionTec modem I'll let every one know.

 

Chicago Neighborhood Numbers for MLS Searches

The Chicago Tribune has put on it's web site a nice map with all the official neighborhoods of the city. These are the official neighborhoods as used by the census bureau and MLSNI. So if you're looking in Chicago and don't know the neighborhood to look in on the MLS, then point your browser to www.chicagotribune.com and go to the classified, homes, transactions page and click on the 77 community names link.

 

Microsoft Office 2000

Requirements

These stats are right off the Microsoft web site. This has to do with the amount of RAM needed to run Office 2000 programs.

Windows 95 or Windows 98

16 MB of RAM is required for the operating system, plus an additional 4 MB of RAM for each program running simultaneously, except the following as noted:

8 MB Microsoft Access
8 MB Microsoft FrontPage
8 MB Microsoft Outlook
16 MB PhotoDraw

What this means is that from here on out you better count on having 64 mb of RAM as a bare minimum to run windows and other programs.

 

Oct. 1, 1999 MLS Xplorer is Free

That's right, as of October 1 this year, agents can access the MLS via the internet using nothing but their browser. That is with Netscape or Microsoft Explorer you can get into the MLS and all the listings and comps with any browser using the Internet. AOL can access Xplorer.

The look of MLS Xplorer is totally windows and completely different from PC Access and Landmark. It takes some getting used to. This is the future of the MLS. A year from now, the MLS will be ONLY ON THE INTERNET.

The board is offering a class on MLS Xplorer Oct. 7

 

Agent Web Pages for Sale

The North Shore-Barrington Assoc. of REALTORS® has entered into a deal with Internet Crusade to help create simple effective Home pages for our members.

The cost is $799.00 year one and $200.00 per year there after.

Pages can be changed at anytime by the agent with simple software supplied by Internet Crusade. Call the board for more info

 

This is Why. . .

By Jason McKeever

You are not stupid; I know that it is hard to believe. When I talk to agents on the phone for computer help they always start with, “I’m stupid!” followed by, “Can you help? What did I do? This stupid machine!” and “They shouldn’t let so n’ so use the office machines anymore!” (which is my personal favorite!)

Computers are a wonderful way to work, express yourself, educate yourself, and to look up that guy who still owes you $20 from college.  But I digress, I like to think that the real estate agents who call, are educated, rational beings capable of just about anything.  But we know better: the Computer is the true leader of the office gods, rationing out sanity as it sees fit. In certain offices there are rituals of how to treat the computers so you will not anger them, and even the fax machine (which is a much more cruel god) has begun to lose its status to these easily upset over emotional pieces of hardware. If you are familiar with these problems I will offer a solution:

1.   Relax.  The computer does not know you from anyone else.

2.   Even though it seems like it, the computer does not intentionally work for everyone but you.

3.   You do not have to know how to program a VCR to use your computer
(because, as everyone knows, the VCR is the trickiest of creatures that only befriends children and the elusive remote control now and again.)

4.   You can always call for help...whether you use the phone or not is up to you.

5.   See the computer as a tool, like a hammer.

6.   If your machine refuses to work, see your machine with a hammer.

     (NSBAR does not recommend this form of repair at any time.)

 

If you feel you really have a problem please call for help at

(847) 480-7177.  We are happy to answers your questions and even if you feel just a little stuck we can help then, too.  Also don’t forget the Computer Club meets once a month. Please stop by and join in with your fellow agents as we plot the demise of the tyrant we know as the Computer through education and general preparedness.
