what’s happening... July 2014 ~ June 2015
a word from the PREZ...
Here it is July already, and we’re into the hot, humid summer months of Florida. A
lot of our fellow Realtors, poten al buyers and even some of our sellers have
migrated to the cooler climates for a break from the rainy season. Our office is busy
even with the absence of the snowbirds.
July will be a crazy, busy month for so many of us with the 4th of July celebra on, which is a prime
opportunity to host Open Houses. The 4th of July theme can bring fun to ho‐hum showings by staging the
outside as well as the inside of homes with red, white and blue! Throw in a drawing for a gas card or
two, which always seems to a ract buyers.
CPAR will have a CPAR‐tee on July 1st at the Quail Hollow Country Club. Come join the fun of
“meet ‘n greet,” taste the many fun finger foods, and take advantage of happy hour drink prices. There
are always lots of door prizes offered by the CPAR‐tee sponsors. It’s a great way to get your name out
there.
Don’t forget the CPAR General Membership Mee ng on July 10th at the Cheval Country Club, with
Paula O’Neil as our guest speaker. Paula always delights us with her fun wisdom and updates. You don’t
want to miss her. The loca on is first class, the food inexpensive and the informa on “priceless.” So
mark your calendars and be sure to call Vanessa at CPAR or go online at www.cparfl.com to make your
reserva on.
I don’t know how many of you read the Florida Realtor Magazine, but they offer a lot of
informa on. I par cularly like the Q&A Legal Hotline. This month’s ques ons deal with transac on
brokers, opera ng a brokerage company from a residence, the dangers of Pocket Lis ngs and even a
scenario dealing with when the Seller is also the Lis ng Agent. There are great ar cles and advice with
each issue.
This month’s issue also has a removable “Florida Realtors 2014 Conference & Trade Expo
Carn‐a‐val” sec on outlining the schedule. The conference will be held at the Rosen Shingle Creek in
Orlando from August 13th – August 17th. This is always a great Conference and Trade Show and not one
to be missed.
I look forward to seeing you at the CPAR‐tee on July 1st at the Quail Hollow Country Club star ng
at 5:30, and again at the General Membership Mee ng on July 10th star ng at 11:30!
We love seeing you, so come join the fun while learning…..
Your Prez,
Toby

You may be wondering why you are receiving the July issue of CPARealtor News so
shortly a er receiving the June issue. From this point forward, CPAR will be sending the
newsle er at the beginning of the month, rather than the end, so that we can all look
forward to the events coming up. There also have been a few forma ng changes this
month. Please think about the kind of news and informa on you would like to receive in the newsle er and let
me know, so that we can cater these issues to YOU and your needs. Email me at [email protected].
I had the great privilege of a ending the Florida Realtors Associa on Execu ve Educa on Workshop in
Sarasota at the end of June. I met many AE’s from all over Florida and a ended sessions on everything from NAR
news to working more smoothly with others, all with a view of beau ful Sarasota Beach. Most importantly, I was
taught how to be er serve CPAR’s members.
One of my favorite sessions was led by Barbara Fairfield of Dynamic Direc ons. She helped us learn how to
work with people from different genera ons using some general personality traits of the people born during
each me period. There were AE’s at the workshop
who had Realtor members from the youngest
genera on (the “Millenials,” aged 19 and under) all
the way up to the oldest group (the “G.I. Genera on,”
who are over 90 years old)!
Happy Independence Day and have a great month!
Your AE, Vanessa

Just the other day, I heard a REALTOR say that when they list a short sale, the Seller doesn't need to fill out a Seller's disclosure. HUH? I am sure that they forgot about Johnson vs Davis wherein the Seller of a home ‐ that knows facts that
materially affect the value of the property which are not observable and are not known to the Buyer ‐ that Seller is under a duty to disclose them to the Buyer, even in an AS‐IS contract.
Interes ng that Florida law says the seller disclosure need not be in wri ng. However, to protect your Buyer and/or your Seller, in wri ng is always best. Also remember that the Seller fills out the disclosure form… not the REALTOR. Many mes I have heard the other side in a transac on say: My REALTOR filled it out for me! So my Fellow REALTORS, stay out of trouble and take care of your Buyers and Sellers. If you bring the Buyer to the transac on, make SURE your customer gets a Seller's disclosure. If you bring the Seller to the transac on, have them fill out a disclosure. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run!
