Dear REALTORS®,

Normally this time of year, we’d all be talking about the end of “season.” But, this year has been different for most of us. The usual hustle and bustle of January and February has been pushed back; March was solid and April has been refreshingly busy. When you are really busy with work and client services, don’t forget to make time for yourself, too.

A veteran REALTOR® once gave me great advice. He said to schedule “your” time in your calendar just like an appoint-ment for a client. You wouldn’t cancel an appointment with a client; don’t give up “your” time, either. Put the same value on your time as any other client time.

Speaking of busy, candidates for the office of Florida REAL-TORS® Secretary are currently campaigning. You may re-ceive emails, calls, and/or letters from the candidates: Gia Arvin, Lynnette Hendricks and Veronica Malolos. 2 weeks ago, your RAIRC State Directors met with the candidates at our District 3 conference in Stuart. I can assure you that we have 3 great candidates running for the office. All were well informed with the needs of our REALTORS®.

Additionally, FR Past President, Mike Dooley, gave an amaz-ing speech on the water quality issues facing Florida and the impact it will have on real estate. Unlike everything you’ve heard before about algae and red tide, President Dooley gave us the history on how the Kissimmee River was manip-ulated for faster, more direct flow and how that has forever altered Lake Okeechobee, the Everglades and our waters. As he spoke, I thought about how his speech is exactly what Realtors need to best service their buyers.

1. You need to know the history of the area. 2. You need to know the effects that history has had on the

present market. 3. You need to be able to give sound advice on where the

markets are headed.

Now, that you’ve scheduled some “your” time, use some of that time to go out and learn more about your community’s history. Get involved, and make an impact.

Gordon Ruef Senior Loan Officer

SWBC Mortgage Corporation

I am extremely proud to represent SWBC Mortgage Corporation as a Senior Loan Officer in our Vero Beach Office. With over 40 years’ experience in Mortgage Lending, I have worked on the Treasure Coast for the past 15 years and in Florida for the past 30 years.

My Primary goal is to help my customers succeed at one of the most important decisions they will make over their lifetime. Attaining home ownership is a significant accomplishment and can be a step towards Financial Independence. I am fully dedicated to making this experience both positive and memorable. Whether you work with first time homebuyers or someone trying to expand their Investment portfolio, here at SWBC we have all the tools you need.

SWBC Mortgage Corporation is a full service, Direct Lender, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. We offer VA, FHA, USDA, FNMA and FHLMC conforming Products. We also have a variety of Jumbo Programs including our VA Jumbo which has no maximum Loan. As a responsible member of the communities we serve, we also offer a full menu of First-time Homebuyer and Down Payment Assistance

Programs. All of these Programs are handled in house and we routinely close these loans in 30 Days. Our Renovation Programs include FHA 203K, FNMA Homestyle and VA Renovation. We are able to offer Pools, Docks and Boatlifts on our FNMA Loans and we will provide up to $35,000 in repairs on Jumbo VA Loans.

Born in Bremerton, Washington I moved to the Nation’s Capital when I was 12. After graduating from the University of Virginia, I returned to Washington, D.C. and began my business career renovating townhomes on Capitol Hill. This helped fuel my passion for collecting historic items and preserving history. I was offered an opportunity to learn the Mortgage Business and never looked back. In my time off, I enjoy exploring Florida with my wife, Melania. I also support the communities I serve through various charities. I am most proud of the 17-year involvement in the University of Florida Sport’s Camp for Type 1 Diabetic Young People.

Having recently moved to Sebastian, I am excited at the opportunities in Indian River County. I look forward to working with you in the near future.

Ethics Case Interpretations related to Article 2

Case #2-14: Time at Which Modification to

Cooperative Compensation is Communicated is a Determining Factor

(Revised Case #9-26 May, 1988. Transferred to Article 2 November, 1994. Cross-reference Case #3-7. Revised May, 2017.)

REALTOR® A listed Seller X’s home and entered the listing into the MLS. The relevant MLS data field indicated the compensation REALTOR® A was offering to the other

Participants if they were successful in finding a buyer for Seller X’s home.

During the next few weeks, REALTOR® A authorized several Participants of the MLS, including REALTOR® C, to show Seller X’s home to potential buyers. Although several

showings were made, no offers to purchase were forthcoming. REALTOR® A and Seller X, in discussing possible means of making the property more salable,

agreed to reduce the listed price. REALTOR® A also agreed to lower his commission. REALTOR® A changed his

compensation offer in the field in the MLS and then called the MLS Participants who had shown Seller X’s property to

advise them that he was modifying his offer of compensation to cooperating brokers. Upon receiving the

call, REALTOR® C responded that he was working with Prospect Z who appeared to be very interested in

purchasing the property and who would probably make an offer to purchase in the next day or two. REALTOR® C

indicated that he would expect to receive the compensation that had been published originally in the MLS and not the reduced amount now being offered to

him, since he had already shown the property to Prospect Z and expected an offer to purchase would be made

shortly. REALTOR® A responded that since Prospect Z had not signed an offer to purchase and no offer had been

submitted the modified offer of compensation would be applicable.

The following day, REALTOR® C wrote an offer to purchase for Prospect Z. The offer was submitted to the Seller by

REALTOR® A and was accepted. At the closing, commissions were dispersed reflecting the modified offer

communicated to REALTOR® C by phone. REALTOR® C refused to accept the check indicating that he felt

REALTOR® A’s actions were in violation of the Code of Ethics. REALTOR® C filed a complaint with the

Association’s Grievance Committee alleging violation of Articles 2 and 3 on the part of REALTOR® A citing Standard

of Practice 3-2 in support of the charge.

During the hearing, REALTOR® C stated that REALTOR® A’s modification of the compensation constituted a

misrepresentation through concealment of pertinent facts since he had not provided REALTOR® C with specific

written notification of the modification prior to the time

REALTOR® C began his efforts to interest the purchaser in the listed property. REALTOR® A defended his actions by

indicating that timely notice of the modification of compensation offered had been provided to REALTOR® C

by telephone prior to REALTOR® C submitting a signed offer to purchase. REALTOR® A also indicated that his modified offer of compensation had been noticed to all

Participants, including REALTOR® C, through the MLS in accordance with Standard of Practice 3-2 prior to the time

that REALTOR® C had submitted the signed offer to purchase. REALTOR® A also commented that had

REALTOR® C submitted the signed offer to purchase prior to REALTOR® A communicating the modified offer, then

REALTOR® A would have willingly paid the amount originally offered.

Based on the evidence presented to it, the Hearing Panel concluded that REALTOR® A had acted in accordance with the obligation expressed in Standard of Practice 3-2 based on changing the offer of cooperative compensation in the

MLS alone, even without the courtesy phone calls, and there had been no concealment of a pertinent fact relating

to the transaction, and consequently was not in violation of Articles 2 or 3.

Government Affairs Update

The Broker Involvement Program What does it offer?

Voice on Capitol Hill

The program is an opportunity to bring a strong and united REALTOR® voice to members of Congress.

With over 16,000 broker owners and 450,000 agents in the program, the REALTOR® voice will be heard loud

and clear.

Easy-to-Manage Solution

Nothing needs to be downloaded and there is no cost

to the broker. NAR gives the broker-owner or managing broker access to the Broker Portal.

Proven Results

Calls for Action response rates are significantly higher

when agents receive their message from their broker. Nearly 40% of all responses on Calls for Action were

from agents in the Broker Involvement Program.

Details can be found at NAR… www.NAR.Realtor/Programs/Broker-Involvement-Program

New FHFA Head, Utility Model Embraced

NAR is applauding the confirmation by the Senate of Mark

Calabria, a former NAR economist, as director of the Federal

Housing Finance Agency. “As he begins his tenure, we urge

Director Calabria to work closely with Congress in the effort

to responsibly reform the GSEs, particularly in search of

policies that protect the 30-year fixed rate mortgage, secure a

government guarantee, and emphasize taxpayer and consumer

protection,” NAR President John Smaby said in a statement.

NAR led a coalition of industry organizations in urging

Calabria’s confirmation.

Also, housing industry leaders are coalescing around a plan

backed by NAR that would transform Fannie Mae and Freddie

Mac, known as government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs),

into regulated utilities designed to promote stability in the

housing market, particularly when the economy encounters

turbulence.

FHA to Flag Risky Loan Applications

The Federal Housing Administration announced that effective

for mortgages with case numbers assigned on or after March

18, lenders may be required to manually underwrite certain

loan applications submitted through the automated

underwriting system. FHA is concerned that the percentage of

FHA loan applicants with a debt-to-income ratio over 50

percent is at its highest level since 2000 even as the average

borrower credit score has decreased to its lowest point since

2008.

Rules Tightening on Energy Loans

Rules are in the works to require borrowers of specialized

home energy efficiency loans to meet the same repayment

standards as regular home mortgage loans, a notice by the

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says. The agency

published a notice of proposed rulemaking saying it was

preparing rules to meet a statutory requirement that Property

Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) loans meet ability-to-repay

and civil liability requirements that apply to other loans. NAR

supports heightened consumer protection and transparency

standards.

Florida Realtors Continue Legislative Efforts

Florida REALTORS continue efforts seeking support and

approval of their 2019 Legislative Session initiatives:

• Preserve Florida’s natural resources

• Fully fund the Housing Trust Funds

• Curb Assignment of Benefits fraud

• Protect private property rights

• Provide owners remedies for open and expired

permits

• Continue reducing the business rent tax

• Modernize real estate transactions through remote

notaries

• Keep property insurance premiums stable

• Make sure flood insurance maps are accurate
