Co-Op Board Disclosure Law Will Prevent<br />

Discrim<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

By Randy L. Kaplan<br />

Director of Government Affairs<br />

Cooperative apartment corporations<br />

currently are not required to <strong>in</strong>form<br />

prospective purchasers of the reasons for<br />

their rejection. As a result, many prospective<br />

buyers are discrim<strong>in</strong>atorily rejected.<br />

By requir<strong>in</strong>g cooperative apartment corporations<br />

to provide a statement of reasons<br />

— this legislation would serve to<br />

reduce the <strong>in</strong>cidence of such rejections.<br />

LIBOR and <strong>NYS</strong>AR are work<strong>in</strong>g to see<br />

that proposed legislation to elim<strong>in</strong>ate these<br />

unfair rejections advances. LIBOR’s<br />

Common Interest Ownership Committee<br />

Chair Barbara Ford has made this a priority<br />

on the state level. If this Co-Op Board<br />

Disclosure bill is enacted, a Co-Op apartment<br />

corporation will not be able to create<br />

after the fact justifications when a rejected<br />

purchaser challenges the cooperation’s<br />

reasons for refus<strong>in</strong>g to permit a sale.<br />

We are hopeful that this legislation will<br />

be re<strong>in</strong>troduced shortly <strong>in</strong> both the New<br />

York State <strong>Senate</strong> and the Assembly.<br />

LIBOR and New York City Councilman<br />

Hiram Monserrate (D-Corona) are work<strong>in</strong>g<br />

jo<strong>in</strong>tly to promote this legislation <strong>in</strong><br />

the New York City Council as well.<br />

Suffolk County Legislator Concerned Over<br />

Absentee Landlords<br />

By Randy L. Kaplan<br />

Director of Government Affairs<br />

Suffolk County Legislator Peter<br />

O’Leary (R-Shirley) has a grow<strong>in</strong>g concern<br />

that absentee landlords are tarnish<strong>in</strong>g<br />

our <strong>com</strong>munities by neglect<strong>in</strong>g the properties<br />

that they rent.<br />

Accord<strong>in</strong>g to Legislator O’Leary, “Many<br />

absentee landlords fail to monitor activity on<br />

their property. Landlords are not concerned<br />

what happens on their property as long as it<br />

does not result <strong>in</strong> a loss of revenue for them.”<br />

The areas of concern for landlords are<br />

the failure to obey state, county and town<br />

laws such as town rental permit laws,<br />

town waste management ord<strong>in</strong>ances, and<br />

county health codes.<br />

Additionally, it is this failure to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><br />

the exterior of the property that worries<br />

O’Leary and many of his fellow lawmakers.<br />

O’Leary has already made it<br />

known that he <strong>in</strong>tends to <strong>in</strong>troduce legislation<br />

to require m<strong>in</strong>imum ma<strong>in</strong>tenance<br />

requirements on these properties. With a<br />

law <strong>in</strong> place — lawmakers will be able to<br />

crack down on absentee landlords who<br />

fail to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> these standards.<br />

LIBOR NEWS<br />

From Where I Sit<br />

by Joseph E. Mottola, GRI<br />

Chief Executive Officer, LIBOR/MLS<br />

Each year we try to take a look at our<br />

facilities to see if we are mak<strong>in</strong>g the best<br />

use of what we have and whether what we<br />

have is adequate for our members’ needs.<br />

The overwhelm<strong>in</strong>g success of our<br />

Realtor Service Center <strong>in</strong> West Babylon<br />

is one example of look<strong>in</strong>g ahead and<br />

revis<strong>in</strong>g our use of resources. It provides<br />

Realtors with a “state of the art” facility<br />

for classes and programs which enables<br />

our members to enhance their capabilities.<br />

The heavy usage<br />

required us to reth<strong>in</strong>k our<br />

staff<strong>in</strong>g as well as our<br />

hours of operation.<br />

At the Queens Realtor<br />

Service Center we’re also<br />

experienc<strong>in</strong>g heavy usage<br />

as our Queens members<br />

realize that it not only provides<br />

great offer<strong>in</strong>gs but<br />

great park<strong>in</strong>g as well. We<br />

had to add a part timer to<br />

our staff to help with the<br />

volume. If space adjacent to our current<br />

classrooms be<strong>com</strong>es available, we would<br />

def<strong>in</strong>itely consider add<strong>in</strong>g to what we<br />

have so we could handle larger classes.<br />

In Riverhead, there’s another Realtor<br />

Service Center located 75 miles from<br />

Queens toward the eastern end of Long<br />

Island. We’ve also seen an <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the<br />

usage of this facility but not to the same<br />

extent as Queens. In Suffolk the membership<br />

base is more spread out and less<br />

concentrated which effects usage.<br />

In our Headquarters Realtor Build<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

“Growth greatly<br />

<strong>in</strong>creased the<br />

demands on our<br />

staff and<br />

facilities.”<br />

ANNETTES REAL ESTATE<br />

we are go<strong>in</strong>g to be undertak<strong>in</strong>g some renovations<br />

primarily on the first floor. We<br />

are go<strong>in</strong>g to relocate and centralize the<br />

Professional Development Department<br />

there to enhance <strong>in</strong>teraction with the<br />

Service Center next door.<br />

The General Education and Computer<br />

Education and Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g staff will occupy<br />

the redesigned space.<br />

In addition, we will be renovat<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

entry and reception foyer to reflect the<br />

more efficient set up and<br />

décor of the Service Center.<br />

We are also plann<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

<strong>in</strong>stall an upgraded, <strong>in</strong>tegrated<br />

security system that<br />

will cover both build<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

and better protect our personnel<br />

and material assets.<br />

Our goal for the second<br />

floor is to centralize the<br />

Information Systems staff<br />

and provide them with<br />

needed workspace. This<br />

will occasion the relocation of some current<br />

staff to other areas with the end result be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the ref<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of the work environment for<br />

Communications/Market<strong>in</strong>g, Government<br />

Affairs and Professional Standards.<br />

The growth of the Board and the<br />

Multiple List<strong>in</strong>g Service has greatly<br />

<strong>in</strong>creased the demands on our staff and<br />

facilities. Our aim is to provide the<br />

appropriate tools, facilities and staff<strong>in</strong>g<br />

so we can ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> and <strong>in</strong>crease the quality<br />

of our response time and our services<br />

for our members.<br />

I am honored and humbled by the trust<br />

you have put <strong>in</strong> me by select<strong>in</strong>g me to be<br />

your 2005 MLS President. I am excited as<br />

I look forward to this year <strong>in</strong> prepar<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

Jane Salamon for an outstand<strong>in</strong>g job as our<br />

that “MLSLI.COM” is the place to go<br />

1991 and 2002<br />

To f<strong>in</strong>d a property that closed through<br />

MLS between the years 1991 and 2002,<br />

you must search through the archive that<br />

is separate from the current database.<br />

TIP: This can be a great way to f<strong>in</strong>d a<br />

quick property photo to use until you are<br />

able to get new photos uploaded.<br />

Us<strong>in</strong>g QUICK SEARCH, follow these<br />

steps:<br />

1. Select Residential, Unavailable<br />

2. Click on the ARCHIVE check box<br />

that appears below MLS/Private.<br />

3. Click on CONTINUE<br />

4. Choose a TOWN (you are limited to<br />

ONE town when search<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the archive)<br />

5. Enter a Title Date range OR a Street<br />

Name to further narrow your search.<br />

Other criteria can be used as well. Keep<br />

<strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d that the archive conta<strong>in</strong>s clos<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

name on the list<strong>in</strong>g agreement or<br />

can I enter “Contact LB”<br />

Web Stats To Big To Ignore<br />

The MLS Advertis<strong>in</strong>g Committee is<br />

underway develop<strong>in</strong>g the 2005 Ad<br />

Campaign that will be geared this year<br />

toward driv<strong>in</strong>g traffic to the MLS website<br />

- MLSLI.<strong>com</strong>˙. The site currently averages<br />

close to 14,000 daily user sessions<br />

and receives an estimated 17 million hits<br />

a month. The site cont<strong>in</strong>ues to grow <strong>in</strong><br />

popularity as we have seen a measurable<br />

<strong>in</strong>crease of over 30% <strong>in</strong> visitor sessions<br />

over the past year.<br />

In a recent study by NAR, they reported<br />

that over half of buyers (53 percent) used<br />

the Internet frequently dur<strong>in</strong>g their search,<br />

and 90 percent reported us<strong>in</strong>g a real estate<br />

agent. Interest<strong>in</strong>gly, Internet searchers<br />

were more likely to use a real estate agent<br />

than those who did not use the Internet to<br />

f<strong>in</strong>d a home. Ultimately, 38 percent of<br />

homebuyers first found out about the<br />

home they purchased through an agent.<br />

Closed List<strong>in</strong>gs Now Reta<strong>in</strong>ed For<br />

25 Months<br />

Effective January 9th, closed list<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

will no longer be moved to the Archived<br />

database on Stratus after 18 months.<br />

Instead, they will rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Unavailable database on Stratus for 25<br />

months. At the end of that time, they<br />

will be moved to the Archives.<br />

S<strong>in</strong>ce our current Unavailable database,<br />

only conta<strong>in</strong>s 18 months worth of<br />

Closed list<strong>in</strong>gs, it will take another 7<br />

months until the Closed list<strong>in</strong>gs grow to<br />

25 months. After that time, one advantage<br />

of this change will be that you can<br />

<strong>com</strong>pare the current 12 months Closed to<br />

the prior 12 months.<br />

What Agents Need to Know:<br />

Why the Advertis<strong>in</strong>g Game is<br />

Different on the Web<br />

By Blanche Evans<br />

For those agents who are just now jump<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on the bandwagon to produce a Web<br />

site because they th<strong>in</strong>k they should, or<br />

they've heard that a Web site is a great way<br />

to build bus<strong>in</strong>ess, understand<strong>in</strong>g some of<br />

the realities of Web-site market<strong>in</strong>g will<br />

help make the effort more worthwhile.<br />

A lot of confusion exists about the Web<br />

as a market<strong>in</strong>g tool even among seasoned<br />

professionals, beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g with "What is it<br />

How do I make an impact How is traffic<br />

generated What do consumers want<br />

How much will I make Does it add to or<br />

replace other forms of advertis<strong>in</strong>g" But<br />

those questions aren't as significant as the<br />

one age-old query: How do I attract consumers<br />

To answer those questions, the<br />

Web, for the purposes of this article, will<br />

be viewed as an advertis<strong>in</strong>g medium --<br />

like TV, pr<strong>in</strong>t, or radio.<br />

The Web is grow<strong>in</strong>g by leaps and bounds,<br />

attract<strong>in</strong>g new viewers every day. At this<br />

time, more than 25 percent of American<br />

households are connected to the Web, with<br />

50 percent of households own<strong>in</strong>g <strong>com</strong>puter<br />

technology. Web TV and plummet<strong>in</strong>g hardware<br />

prices are entic<strong>in</strong>g new Internet surfers<br />

daily, and it is just a matter of time before<br />

every household is connected.<br />

The first lesson is that the consumers are<br />

already there, mak<strong>in</strong>g the Web a perfect<br />

medium for advertis<strong>in</strong>g. But there are five<br />

key areas <strong>in</strong> which the Web is different than<br />

any other form of media, and that is why it<br />

has set the advertis<strong>in</strong>g/market<strong>in</strong>g world on<br />

its ear. Advertis<strong>in</strong>g models are chang<strong>in</strong>g<br />

daily, as marketers struggle to place advertis<strong>in</strong>g<br />

dollars where they are most effective.<br />

The Web has changed the market<strong>in</strong>g paradigm.<br />

It is not only <strong>in</strong>expensive to produce,<br />

but it also clearly reaches consumers.<br />

1. Your market<strong>in</strong>g message is not only<br />

local; it's also worldwide. Target your<br />

pages appropriately. Most real estate<br />

advertis<strong>in</strong>g is localized and assumes the<br />

viewer knows all about your given area,<br />

but your market is the relocat<strong>in</strong>g customer.<br />

To appeal to them, you will want to<br />

emphasize the city, schools, neighborhoods,<br />

and other services, and your familiarity<br />

with all of these. To appeal to a seller,<br />

you will want to emphasize your track<br />

record of sales and your "bio." Write your<br />

copy as if you were tell<strong>in</strong>g <strong>com</strong>plete<br />

strangers about you, your <strong>com</strong>pany, your<br />

list<strong>in</strong>gs, the area, and the <strong>com</strong>munity at<br />

large. Give them reasons to want to move<br />

there. Add a multilanguage l<strong>in</strong>k -- no one<br />

else is do<strong>in</strong>g it, so you'll be the first.<br />

2. You can target buyers, sellers, <strong>in</strong>vestors,<br />

lenders, title <strong>com</strong>panies, and other Realtors<br />

with the same market<strong>in</strong>g tool -- your Web<br />

site and its pages. You can send the URL of<br />

any page on your site as a hot l<strong>in</strong>k <strong>in</strong> an e-<br />

mail message to anyone with whom you do<br />

bus<strong>in</strong>ess. If you are show<strong>in</strong>g new list<strong>in</strong>gs,<br />

send them to your contacts. If you want to<br />

market yourself, e-mail your "bio" page to<br />

title <strong>com</strong>panies and lenders. No other market<strong>in</strong>g<br />

tool offers the ability to promote<br />

yourself, showcase your list<strong>in</strong>gs, <strong>com</strong>municate<br />

directly with the consumer, and ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>dustry contacts all at the same time.<br />

3. Consumer traffic can be counted and<br />

qualified. The Web is the only advertis<strong>in</strong>g<br />

medium that can give you accurate results<br />

for your expenditures.<br />

4. The consumer is <strong>com</strong><strong>in</strong>g to you to<br />

learn about you and your product, <strong>in</strong>stead<br />

of you go<strong>in</strong>g to the consumer. This fact is<br />

among the most significant. The Web consumer<br />

is smart, educated, and aggressive.<br />

They <strong>com</strong>parison shop. Be ready.<br />

5. Your content can be changed on a<br />

moment's notice. New list<strong>in</strong>gs, sold notices,<br />

break<strong>in</strong>g news, and general <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong>formation<br />

may be added <strong>in</strong>stantly. Remove<br />

any old features that aren't work<strong>in</strong>g for you.<br />

When you purchase an advertisement <strong>in</strong><br />

any pr<strong>in</strong>t medium, the sales representative<br />

will tell you that your market saturation is<br />

based on the number of subscribers and<br />

editions sold to vendors such as book<br />

stores, convenience stores, and so on. If<br />

you are target<strong>in</strong>g a certa<strong>in</strong> demographic,<br />

they can tell you by zip code how many<br />

people <strong>in</strong> your target market are buy<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the publication. Then there is "pass-along"<br />

value, which is an estimated figure of how<br />

many other hands the publication passes<br />

through <strong>in</strong> wait<strong>in</strong>g rooms, at libraries, and<br />

at the doctors' office, for example.<br />

The fact is that none of these figures can<br />

be proven. That's right -- none. There is no<br />

quantifiable method of track<strong>in</strong>g how<br />

many people actually saw, heard, or were<br />

even <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong> your ad. Your advertis<strong>in</strong>g<br />

agency can't do it, the ad sales representative<br />

can't do it, and you probably<br />

can't, either. After plac<strong>in</strong>g an ad, have you<br />

ever asked every caller or open-house<br />

attendee how they heard about you Do<br />

your employees ask The only way you<br />

know is if you make a sale, and even then,<br />

you don't know what percentage of your<br />

sales were <strong>in</strong>fluenced by other factors or<br />

just pla<strong>in</strong> dumb luck.<br />

But on the Web, the dynamics are <strong>com</strong>pletely<br />

different. Instead of passive viewers,<br />

who may or may not be <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong><br />

your message, you have <strong>in</strong>teractive participants<br />

-- consumers who are aggressively<br />

seek<strong>in</strong>g products, services, and <strong>in</strong>formation,<br />

and they are grow<strong>in</strong>g all the time. No<br />

one can be enticed onto your site unless<br />

they want to be there, and if they are, they<br />

are look<strong>in</strong>g for someth<strong>in</strong>g you have to<br />

offer. This is the s<strong>in</strong>gle most important<br />

reason to put your Web address and e-mail<br />

address on all of your pr<strong>in</strong>ted media.<br />

This proactive consumer trend represents<br />

a significant cultural event because it will<br />

change the way we do bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> the nation<br />

and throughout the world. It means that<br />

bus<strong>in</strong>esses will have to <strong>com</strong>pete not only for<br />

quality <strong>in</strong> product and delivery, but also <strong>in</strong><br />

ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the attention and <strong>in</strong>terest of the<br />

consumer. Why Because your <strong>com</strong>petition<br />

is on the Web, too. Regardless of size, assets<br />

and distribution ability, all <strong>com</strong>petitors are<br />

equal on the Web, and the consumer is<br />

do<strong>in</strong>g side-by-side <strong>com</strong>parisons. Your <strong>com</strong>petitors<br />

can get onl<strong>in</strong>e for the same price as<br />

you, and there is no "position<strong>in</strong>g" such as<br />

gett<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>side front cover of a magaz<strong>in</strong>e<br />

or the front page of the newspaper's real<br />

estate section. You consumers have only to<br />

type <strong>in</strong> your URL...or your <strong>com</strong>petition's.<br />

Your Web site is essentially the creation<br />

of your own magaz<strong>in</strong>e. And you will have<br />

the same problems and concerns of any<br />

publication — namely, distribution and<br />

attractive content to reta<strong>in</strong> viewer <strong>in</strong>terest.<br />

How to get on every newsstand (search<br />

eng<strong>in</strong>es) and other highly trafficked sites<br />

(related real estate sites) is your biggest<br />

concern. To put it <strong>in</strong> perspective, your<br />

magaz<strong>in</strong>e is now on the newsstand with<br />

millions of other publications. To stand<br />

out, you will have to perform daily ma<strong>in</strong>tenance<br />

and actively work at build<strong>in</strong>g relationships,<br />

just like the rest of your bus<strong>in</strong>ess.<br />

A Web bus<strong>in</strong>ess won't just happen.<br />

As far as <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g content goes, you<br />

want to br<strong>in</strong>g as many consumers to your<br />

site and have them stay there as long as<br />

possible. And you want them to <strong>com</strong>e<br />

back aga<strong>in</strong> and aga<strong>in</strong>, so don't quit with<br />

post<strong>in</strong>g your current list<strong>in</strong>gs and your<br />

biography. What you want is for consumers<br />

to look at you as the go-to site for<br />

<strong>in</strong>formation on real estate. Period. One<br />

way is to develop l<strong>in</strong>ks with content<br />

providers such as onl<strong>in</strong>e news services,<br />

columnists, and home improvement sites.<br />

Agent News, for example, is on as many<br />

as 150 sites. Get your local MLS on your<br />

site if you can. If you are not a writer, don't<br />

worry. F<strong>in</strong>d out if you can l<strong>in</strong>k to sites you<br />

like whose content would be helpful to<br />

your bus<strong>in</strong>ess.<br />

Because of the mano y mano aspect of<br />

Web <strong>com</strong>petition, the best sites are not limited<br />

to a one-page "onl<strong>in</strong>e brochure." That<br />

is why Web sites are <strong>com</strong>posed of multiple<br />

pages. Each page on the site serves a purpose<br />

-- whether it is a <strong>com</strong>pany or personal<br />

bio, new product or list<strong>in</strong>g announcement,<br />

how-to/advice, or news and <strong>in</strong>formation<br />

-- and that is to keep the consumer<br />

<strong>in</strong>terested. It is these pages that tell you the<br />

extent of the consumer's <strong>in</strong>terest.<br />

How do you f<strong>in</strong>d out where your traffic is<br />

go<strong>in</strong>g When you create a Web site, your<br />

Web host should provide you with reports<br />

that detail your page views. Then you will<br />

know which pages are of most <strong>in</strong>terest to<br />

consumers. The significance is that you can<br />

track how many people <strong>com</strong>e to your site,<br />

which features they are <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong>, and<br />

where they came from. Based on the <strong>in</strong>formation<br />

you obta<strong>in</strong>, you can improve service<br />

and product quality and delivery, consumer<br />

relations, and most of all, sales. A word of<br />

caution: Don't play the <strong>in</strong>formation withhold<strong>in</strong>g<br />

game with the consumer. Those<br />

days are over. Qualify<strong>in</strong>g customers by<br />

mak<strong>in</strong>g them fill <strong>in</strong> an e-mail reply before<br />

they can view homes will make them click<br />

you off faster than you can say "MLS."<br />

As a market<strong>in</strong>g tool, your Web site is<br />

the most <strong>in</strong>expensive to develop and has<br />

the potential to offer the greatest yield. But<br />

don't let the Web's relative low cost mislead<br />

you <strong>in</strong>to develop<strong>in</strong>g a cheap-look<strong>in</strong>g<br />

site. Although you can develop a <strong>com</strong>plete<br />

Web site for the world to see for less than<br />

the cost of a box of bus<strong>in</strong>ess cards, your<br />

message still needs to be attractive to consumers.<br />

Put some money beh<strong>in</strong>d develop<strong>in</strong>g<br />

traffic, strategic alliances, and quality<br />

content so your Web site will stand out.<br />

SITES TO SEE<br />

Sometimes the best real estate <strong>in</strong>vestments<br />

are the ones that need a little — or a<br />

lot — of work. If you or your clients are<br />

brave buyers who see fixer-uppers as<br />

excit<strong>in</strong>g challenges to tackle on your own<br />

or simply want to try your hand at a<br />

remodel<strong>in</strong>g project <strong>in</strong>stead of hir<strong>in</strong>g someone<br />

else to do it, here are three Web sites<br />

full of home improvement tips, design<br />

tools, and articles that will keep you on the<br />

right track.<br />

BobVila.<strong>com</strong>. Ultimate handyman Bob<br />

Vila has found a home on the Web, offer<strong>in</strong>g<br />

advice on all sorts of home improvement<br />

projects. The site has easy-to-use<br />

search functions that help you wade<br />

through the vast amount of <strong>in</strong>formation to<br />

zero <strong>in</strong> on your topic of <strong>in</strong>terest. The<br />

Home Improvement Library provides<br />

everyth<strong>in</strong>g you need to tackle a project,<br />

<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g articles, tips, and videos. The<br />

library lets you browse by subject, task, or<br />

location <strong>in</strong> the home where your project is<br />

based. If you need more guidance on home<br />

repairs, check out the step-by-step illustrated<br />

Fix-It Club, which expla<strong>in</strong>s how to<br />

diagnose problems and fix almost everyth<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

from a toilet to a garbage disposal.<br />

The site also has a page devoted to onl<strong>in</strong>e<br />

Design Tools to help plan out your new<br />

kitchen, patio, or garden. You can register<br />

on the site to save your designs and access<br />

them later.<br />

HGTV.<strong>com</strong>. The Internet home of the<br />

Home & Garden Television Network has<br />

free resources for decorat<strong>in</strong>g, remodel<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

and garden<strong>in</strong>g. The strength of this site is<br />

its <strong>in</strong>teractive tools and onl<strong>in</strong>e demos. In<br />

the section devoted to Decorat<strong>in</strong>g, for<br />

example, before-and-after slide shows<br />

provide ideas about how to spruce up two<br />

of the home's most important rooms:<br />

Kitchens and Bathrooms. Or you can use<br />

the Room Planner to create a customized<br />

floor plan for any room <strong>in</strong> your home and<br />

experiment with different furniture<br />

arrangements before try<strong>in</strong>g it out for real.<br />

The Remodel<strong>in</strong>g section of the site provides<br />

onl<strong>in</strong>e How-<br />

To Demos that walk<br />

you through projects like <strong>in</strong>stall<strong>in</strong>g a<br />

handrail or decorat<strong>in</strong>g with wallpaper.<br />

HGTV.<strong>com</strong>'s Garden<strong>in</strong>g section, meanwhile,<br />

teaches garden<strong>in</strong>g enthusiasts about<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g the right Garden<strong>in</strong>g Tools and provides<br />

tips for execut<strong>in</strong>g various<br />

Landscap<strong>in</strong>g/Design projects.<br />

HomeTime.<strong>com</strong>. HomeTime is a longrunn<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

home-improvement television<br />

show syndicated on public television networks.<br />

The show's Internet site doesn't<br />

have the depth of <strong>in</strong>formation as the other<br />

two sites above but still offers good nofrills<br />

<strong>in</strong>formation for weekend warriors.

It’s the start of a New Year<br />

and what a fantastic start<br />

RPAC is mak<strong>in</strong>g!! To date<br />

$160,146 has been collected<br />

and 4,135 LIBOR members<br />

have contributed. These figures<br />

represent an amaz<strong>in</strong>g<br />

show of teamwork! It is evident<br />

that more and more<br />

Realtors are be<strong>com</strong><strong>in</strong>g aware<br />

of the importance of the RPAC<br />

dollars and what they can do Pat Levitt<br />

Remember what that stands for:<br />

Together<br />

Everyone<br />

Ac<strong>com</strong>plishes<br />

More<br />

S<strong>in</strong>cerest thanks to all of you<br />

have already made a contribution<br />

to RPAC <strong>in</strong> 2005. May I<br />

ask someth<strong>in</strong>g more of you<br />

Could you help further by<br />

spread<strong>in</strong>g the word We need<br />

more of our Realtors to know<br />

for our profession.<br />

RPAC Chairperson what RPAC dollars have<br />

I just returned from an<br />

RPAC tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g session <strong>in</strong> Wash<strong>in</strong>gton<br />

D.C. ac<strong>com</strong>panied by Marian Fraker-<br />

Gut<strong>in</strong>, our LIBOR President and<br />

Audrey Liv<strong>in</strong>gstone, a National RPAC<br />

Trustee. The <strong>in</strong>formation and ideas we<br />

gathered there will be shared with our<br />

RPAC Committee. The ma<strong>in</strong> theme<br />

was us<strong>in</strong>g the T-E-A-M approach,<br />

which is someth<strong>in</strong>g that I always make<br />

reference to. As the RPAC Chair I realize<br />

that very little could be ac<strong>com</strong>plished<br />

if I didn’t have supportive Co-<br />

Chairs (Marie Costello, Liz English<br />

and Jose Valez); a strong <strong>com</strong>mittee<br />

already helped us to ac<strong>com</strong>plish<br />

and how they are work<strong>in</strong>g for us now (keep<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the banks out of Real Estate and work<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to protect our <strong>com</strong>missions). Also, we’d<br />

like to <strong>in</strong>crease the number of Realtors that<br />

contribute. We’d love to have all LIBOR<br />

members contribute their fair share. If you<br />

could just approach one Realtor that has<br />

never contributed to RPAC and ask them to<br />

do so, this will be<strong>com</strong>e reality! Increas<strong>in</strong>g<br />

participation and contributions will require<br />

a team effort. We need you. Invest <strong>in</strong> our<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustry....it’s your future!<br />

Thanks aga<strong>in</strong> for your support. Your<br />

2004-2005 Chair.<br />

and most of all, the support of you, the<br />

LIBOR members. Together we be<strong>com</strong>e<br />

a team.<br />

LEGAL/GOVERNMENTAL<br />

When you sit down to read this article,<br />

the outside temperature will be hover<strong>in</strong>g<br />

around the freez<strong>in</strong>g mark and the<br />

Catskill and Adirondack ski areas will be<br />

bustl<strong>in</strong>g with activity. Potential real<br />

estate sellers will be th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g about list<strong>in</strong>g<br />

their properties for sale <strong>in</strong> order to<br />

catch the late w<strong>in</strong>ter/early spr<strong>in</strong>g buyers,<br />

and you will be hon<strong>in</strong>g up on your list<strong>in</strong>g<br />

presentation to capture those sellers. I<br />

know because I am <strong>in</strong> the process of list<strong>in</strong>g<br />

my house and <strong>in</strong>terview<strong>in</strong>g potential<br />

list<strong>in</strong>g Realtors®.<br />

These Realtors® tell me that today’s<br />

Sellers know as much about the real<br />

estate market as the agents with whom<br />

they deal. By the time the Seller reaches<br />

your desk, they have searched available<br />

properties, often done their own CMAs<br />

and have visited your website and those<br />

of your <strong>com</strong>petitors. The real estate<br />

experts predicted 13 years ago, that this<br />

situation would result <strong>in</strong> the depletion of<br />

the value of the list<strong>in</strong>g broker driv<strong>in</strong>g<br />

list<strong>in</strong>g <strong>com</strong>missions down to $1,000 or<br />

less. These experts were obviously<br />

wrong, but the question is what was their<br />

mistake<br />

<strong>Act</strong>ually, their error resulted from the<br />

fact that they either ignored or did not<br />

know a basic pr<strong>in</strong>ciple of real estate brokerage.<br />

A real estate broker told me more<br />

than 20 years ago that sellers used brokers<br />

because the sellers believed the broker<br />

controlled the buyer pool. This ancient<br />

adage is truer today than ever before.<br />

Sellers expect that you will expose<br />

their property to the greatest number of<br />

potential buyers <strong>in</strong> an effort to obta<strong>in</strong> for<br />

them the highest price and best terms of<br />

sale. Indeed, as a seller’s agent, this is<br />

exactly the obligation which the law<br />

places upon you. Your fiduciary duty to<br />

the seller requires that you always act <strong>in</strong><br />

furtherance of this goal.<br />

In fact, the homeowner does not<br />

expect you to personally sell the property,<br />

but rather to expose the seller’s property<br />

to the buyer pool. This is one of the<br />

reasons why the owner is obligated to<br />

pay the <strong>com</strong>mission even if they sell the<br />

Goldson, Nolan, Connolly, P.C.<br />

The Buyer Pool<br />

property themselves. In his best sell<strong>in</strong>g<br />

book, “L<strong>in</strong>ked” Professor Albert-Laszlo<br />

Barabasi expla<strong>in</strong>s such pools consist of<br />

hubs and l<strong>in</strong>ks. Obviously certa<strong>in</strong> hubs<br />

are more <strong>in</strong>fluential than others. For<br />

example, google.<strong>com</strong> is a much more<br />

important hub on the <strong>in</strong>ternet than the<br />

writer’s website.<br />

In terms of list<strong>in</strong>g Long Island residential<br />

real estate, the most <strong>in</strong>fluential hub is<br />

the Multiple List<strong>in</strong>g Service of Long<br />

Island, Inc. With over 20,000 subscribers<br />

each of whom l<strong>in</strong>k to the Multiple List<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Service Stratus site once or more per day,<br />

there is no equal tool for access<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

buyer pool. Each of those 20,000 hubs<br />

have multiple l<strong>in</strong>ks as well; i.e., family,<br />

friends, outside bus<strong>in</strong>ess associates and<br />

out of area brokers. When you consider<br />

the l<strong>in</strong>ks of the multiple list<strong>in</strong>g service<br />

subscriber hubs to other <strong>in</strong>dividual and<br />

bus<strong>in</strong>ess hubs, you realize that with<strong>in</strong> two<br />

levels of separation, you have a potential<br />

audience number<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the millions,<br />

maybe tens of millions. The Buyer pool<br />

is <strong>in</strong> these millions.<br />

So when you go on your next list<strong>in</strong>g<br />

presentation and are th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g about tak<strong>in</strong>g<br />

an “office exclusive”, th<strong>in</strong>k about<br />

your fiduciary obligation and the connect<strong>in</strong>g<br />

power of MLS. If you believe an<br />

office exclusive is still <strong>in</strong> the best <strong>in</strong>terest<br />

of your client, make sure the client<br />

understands about how l<strong>in</strong>ks and hubs<br />

work and that 20,000 MLS participant<br />

hubs will probably have l<strong>in</strong>ks measured<br />

<strong>in</strong> the hundreds of thousands and hubs at<br />

the end of those l<strong>in</strong>ks <strong>in</strong> the millions.<br />

Remember, failure to obta<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>formed<br />

consent to the list<strong>in</strong>g agreement or a<br />

breach of your fiduciary duty to your<br />

client could result <strong>in</strong> discipl<strong>in</strong>ary action<br />

by the Department of State, loss of your<br />

right to <strong>com</strong>pensation, exposure to litigation<br />

or any <strong>com</strong>b<strong>in</strong>ation of these three<br />

possibilities.<br />

So while you’re wait<strong>in</strong>g for the snow<br />

to melt th<strong>in</strong>k about market<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 2005<br />

and the duty you owe the seller. While<br />

you’re at it, I re<strong>com</strong>mend you read<br />

Professor Barabasi’s book.<br />

New Sign Law <strong>in</strong> the Town of Southampton<br />

Attention All REALTORS®<br />

Conduct<strong>in</strong>g Bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> the Town of<br />

Southampton — There is a new sign law<br />

<strong>in</strong> effect <strong>in</strong> the Town of Southampton.<br />

The regulations are as follows: one sign<br />

per property only; the sign must be on the<br />

property that is for sale; the sign must not<br />

be located <strong>in</strong> the right of way; residential<br />

sign size limit is 4 square feet and <strong>com</strong>mercial<br />

sign size limit is 8 square feet.<br />

The Town of Southampton will be hir<strong>in</strong>g<br />

an <strong>in</strong>spector to focus solely on this<br />

issue <strong>in</strong> the near future. In the meantime<br />

— they are send<strong>in</strong>g a letter out to all of<br />

the real estate practitioners <strong>in</strong> the Town<br />

advis<strong>in</strong>g them of this new law and that the<br />

Town will confiscate signs that are not<br />

properly placed.<br />

It appears as if most of the violations<br />

are not <strong>in</strong> the size of the sign but rather the<br />

placement.<br />

ETHICS...This Month’s Topics<br />

Case #2-6: Misrepresentation<br />

REALTOR® A, a cooperat<strong>in</strong>g broker,<br />

had shown four houses to Buyer B, and<br />

Buyer B’s wife had asked to see one of<br />

them a second time. There was a third<br />

<strong>in</strong>spection, and a fourth. They seemed at<br />

the po<strong>in</strong>t of decision but said they would<br />

like to “sleep on it.” When there was no<br />

word the next day, REALTOR® A called.<br />

Buyer B said he was a bit hesitant on the<br />

price; that some transfers of executives <strong>in</strong><br />

his <strong>com</strong>pany had been rumored; that this<br />

would affect him with<strong>in</strong> the year; that he<br />

hesitated to buy at a price that might mean<br />

tak<strong>in</strong>g a loss if he should be transferred<br />

with<strong>in</strong> a year.<br />

REALTOR® A tried to reassure the<br />

prospect by telephone. Then he dictated a<br />

letter stat<strong>in</strong>g that the house was an exceptional<br />

barga<strong>in</strong> at the ask<strong>in</strong>g price and “our<br />

office guarantees to get your money out of<br />

it for you any time <strong>in</strong> the next year if you<br />

should need to sell.” Buyer B came <strong>in</strong> and<br />

signed the contract.<br />

Six months later, Buyer B came to<br />

REALTOR® A as a seller. He was be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

transferred. He would need to get his equity<br />

out of the house to be able to afford a<br />

purchase <strong>in</strong> the new <strong>com</strong>munity. REAL-<br />

TOR® A listed the house at the price buyer<br />

B had paid for it. After a month there had<br />

been no offers. Buyer B rem<strong>in</strong>ded REAL-<br />

TOR® A of his written assurance that his<br />

office had guaranteed he would get his<br />

money out of the house with<strong>in</strong> the year.<br />

REALTOR® A expla<strong>in</strong>ed that the market<br />

had be<strong>com</strong>e much less active and that<br />

Buyer B might have to reduce his price by<br />

$10,000 to $15,000 to attract a buyer.<br />

Whereupon, Buyer B filed a <strong>com</strong>pla<strong>in</strong>t<br />

with the Board of REALTORS® charg<strong>in</strong>g<br />

REALTOR® A with misrepresentation,<br />

exaggeration, and failure to make good a<br />

<strong>com</strong>mitment. After exam<strong>in</strong>ation of the<br />

<strong>com</strong>pla<strong>in</strong>t, the Grievance Committee<br />

referred it to the Professional Standards<br />

Committee for a hear<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

In response to question<strong>in</strong>g by the<br />

Hear<strong>in</strong>g Panel, REALTOR® A admitted<br />

that he had written the letter to Buyer B<br />

<strong>in</strong> good faith and, at the time the letter<br />

was written, he had been certa<strong>in</strong> that his<br />

office could obta<strong>in</strong> a price for the property<br />

that would ensure Buyer B was “gett<strong>in</strong>g<br />

his money out of the house.”<br />

However, REALTOR® A expla<strong>in</strong>ed that<br />

although he had held such an op<strong>in</strong>ion <strong>in</strong><br />

good faith, the market had softened and<br />

now the circumstances were different.<br />

The Hear<strong>in</strong>g Panel rem<strong>in</strong>ded REAL-<br />

TOR® A that the pert<strong>in</strong>ent fact be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

considered was not his op<strong>in</strong>ion at the<br />

time of the previous sale as <strong>com</strong>pared to<br />

his op<strong>in</strong>ion now, but rather his written<br />

“guarantee” to Buyer B and his current<br />

failure to make good his written <strong>com</strong>mitment.<br />

It was the conclusion of the<br />

Hear<strong>in</strong>g Panel that REALTOR® A had<br />

engaged <strong>in</strong> misrepresentation and was <strong>in</strong><br />

violation of Article 2.<br />

Case #16-1: Confidentiality of<br />

Cooperat<strong>in</strong>g REALTOR®’s Participation<br />

When Client a listed his home sale with<br />

REALTOR® B, he expla<strong>in</strong>ed that he wanted<br />

the sale handled without advertis<strong>in</strong>g and<br />

without attract<strong>in</strong>g any more attention than<br />

was absolutely necessary. He said he understood<br />

that he would have to have some contacts<br />

with prospective buyers and possibly<br />

with other REALTORS®, but that he did not<br />

want the property filed with the MLS, advertised,<br />

or <strong>in</strong> any way publicly announced as<br />

be<strong>in</strong>g on the market. He asked REAL-<br />

TOR® B to impress the same restrictions on<br />

any other REALTORS® who might be<strong>com</strong>e<br />

<strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> the transaction.<br />

REALTOR® B, hav<strong>in</strong>g reason to th<strong>in</strong>k<br />

that REALTOR® C was <strong>in</strong> touch with<br />

prospective buyers to whom the property<br />

would appeal, approached REALTOR® C<br />

to <strong>in</strong>vite his cooperation, and expla<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

fully the Client’s <strong>in</strong>structions. REAL-<br />

TOR® B discussed the matter with no<br />

other REALTOR® and refra<strong>in</strong>ed from any<br />

k<strong>in</strong>d of advertis<strong>in</strong>g of the property. But a<br />

few days later, REALTOR® B learned that<br />

REALTOR® D was discuss<strong>in</strong>g the property<br />

with prospective buyers, knew that<br />

REALTOR® C was work<strong>in</strong>g on it, knew<br />

the price at which the property had been<br />

listed, and other details about it.<br />

Question<strong>in</strong>g revealed that REALTOR® C<br />

had told REALTOR® D that he was work<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on the sale of the property.<br />

On the basis of the <strong>in</strong>formation from<br />

REALTOR® D, REALTOR® B charged<br />

REALTOR® C with unethical conduct <strong>in</strong> a<br />

<strong>com</strong>pla<strong>in</strong>t to the Board of REALTORS®<br />

specify<strong>in</strong>g that REALTOR® C’s breach of<br />

confidence under the circumstances was a<br />

failure to respect his, REALTOR® B’s,<br />

exclusive agency, and that his action had<br />

jeopardized his relationship with his client.<br />

The <strong>com</strong>pla<strong>in</strong>t was referred to the<br />

Board’s Professional Standards<br />

Committee, a hear<strong>in</strong>g was scheduled, and<br />

REALTOR® C was directed to answer the<br />

charge of unethical conduct <strong>in</strong> violation of<br />

Article 16.<br />

At the hear<strong>in</strong>g, REALTOR® B detailed<br />

the <strong>in</strong>structions of the client and the manner<br />

<strong>in</strong> which he had conveyed them to<br />

REALTOR® C <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>vit<strong>in</strong>g his cooperation.<br />

REALTOR® D told the Hear<strong>in</strong>g Panel that<br />

REALTOR® C had discussed the list<strong>in</strong>g<br />

with him. REALTOR® C defended himself<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>st the charge of violat<strong>in</strong>g Article<br />

16 by say<strong>in</strong>g that while he had discussed<br />

the matter briefly with REALTOR® D, he<br />

had not expressly <strong>in</strong>vited his cooperation,<br />

and, therefore, had not violated Article 16.<br />

At the conclusion of the hear<strong>in</strong>g, the<br />

panel held that REALTOR® B’s <strong>com</strong>pla<strong>in</strong>t<br />

was valid; that proper respect for his exclusive<br />

agency and the circumstances under<br />

which it existed required REALTOR® C<br />

to observe the confidence entrusted to him<br />

and that REALTOR® C’s discussion of the<br />

matter with REALTOR® D was <strong>in</strong> violation<br />

of Article 16.<br />

Hit The Ground Runn<strong>in</strong>g In 2005<br />

By Joeann Fossland<br />

It’s what you do now that is go<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

determ<strong>in</strong>e whether you start 2005 from<br />

ground zero or with momentum and focus.<br />

If you are proactive this month, you will<br />

reap the rewards next year.<br />

Have a Productive December<br />

December is a perfect month to mak<strong>in</strong>g<br />

warm calls or visits. G to as many functions<br />

and parties as possible to be high profile.<br />

Prospect<strong>in</strong>g is not limited to the horrid cold<br />

calls but <strong>in</strong>cludes any activity that puts you<br />

<strong>in</strong> front of someone who wants to buy or<br />

sell. Statistics tell us this is probably about<br />

10% of the people. So one <strong>in</strong> every 10 people<br />

you see probably has a need. See more<br />

and have fun do<strong>in</strong>g it. Several years ago,<br />

one of my coach<strong>in</strong>g clients called and<br />

talked to each person <strong>in</strong> her past client database<br />

<strong>in</strong> December and had 6 new list<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

from those people <strong>in</strong> January.<br />

December is also a good time to focus on<br />

bus<strong>in</strong>ess. The buyers are more serious this<br />

time of the year. If you have a motivated<br />

seller, there is an advantage because there is<br />

less <strong>com</strong>petition, the house looks prettier<br />

with decorations and the buyers are more<br />

likely to buy. Coach your sellers not to wait<br />

until after the holidays but to take advantage<br />

of this. There are agents whose best month is<br />

always December because they are work<strong>in</strong>g<br />

when others are not. It sure makes January<br />

nice to have a few checks <strong>com</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

Get your Plann<strong>in</strong>g Done<br />

It is said the most productive day of the<br />

year is the day before vacation. On that day<br />

you are focused, you prioritize and you take<br />

lots of action. You may want to take lots of<br />

“vacations” <strong>in</strong> December-giv<strong>in</strong>g yourself<br />

plenty of time off to play, enjoy and visit.<br />

Take out your December calendar and<br />

schedule that time <strong>in</strong> on the calendar. Now<br />

schedule peak performance time to balance<br />

it out. The peak performance days are those<br />

days when you’ll focus 80% of your day on<br />

dollar productive activities.<br />

The 2005 plann<strong>in</strong>g must get done now if<br />

you want to hit the ground runn<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 2005.<br />

I re<strong>com</strong>mend a full day to do a <strong>com</strong>plete<br />

overview and creation session. Review your<br />

numbers from 2004. This should be <strong>in</strong> depth.<br />

Know where every list<strong>in</strong>g or sale came<br />

from. Know how effective your advertis<strong>in</strong>g<br />

was <strong>in</strong> each media you used. Know what<br />

your gross was and how much your expenses<br />

ate it up. There deeper you delve here,<br />

I offer a simple Awesome Year Plann<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Guide conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g worksheets to help with<br />

all of this or there are a couple of Real<br />

Estate specific bus<strong>in</strong>ess plann<strong>in</strong>g tools that<br />

can help. An Internet-based program that is<br />

extremely detailed is called CreateAPlan,<br />

you’ll be able to track exactly what each<br />

list<strong>in</strong>g or sale cost you as well as be<strong>in</strong>g able<br />

to do some “what ifs” with your bus<strong>in</strong>ess.<br />

These “what ifs” might <strong>in</strong>clude cutt<strong>in</strong>g your<br />

<strong>com</strong>missions by a half-percent or add<strong>in</strong>g an<br />

assistant. Another program called<br />

Performitor is software for you to design<br />

your plan on your <strong>com</strong>puter and generate a<br />

track<strong>in</strong>g sheet for the month that will keep<br />

you aware and on target with your goals.<br />

Review what worked and what didn’t.<br />

What was your hourly worth this year (you<br />

know, net divided by hours). How could<br />

you have used your time more effectively<br />

Should you have outsourced more, focused<br />

on a different target market, let go of some<br />

needy, high ma<strong>in</strong>tenance clients<br />

Review your net worth. Are you better off<br />

now than you were at the end of 2003 It<br />

astounds me to see agents mak<strong>in</strong>g plans with<br />

no connection to a long term f<strong>in</strong>ancial plan or<br />

goal. They just pick yearly figures that seem<br />

reasonable and th<strong>in</strong>k they have done plann<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Without be<strong>in</strong>g part of an “escape” plan,<br />

you yearly figures don’t have much power to<br />

help you achieve f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>dependence.<br />

Okay, now you can start the plann<strong>in</strong>g for<br />

next year. What do you want to achieve <strong>in</strong><br />

terms of net profit (the only number that<br />

really counts when it is all said and done!)<br />

Why do you want this Clarity on the<br />

WHY will motivate you and give passion to<br />

your actions. Do you want to fund a college<br />

education, a month long vacation, a new<br />

house<br />

If your date of f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>dependence is<br />

10 years away, is the net this year sufficient<br />

to create enough reserve to fund the retirement<br />

account sufficiently Your bus<strong>in</strong>ess is<br />

not your life. It is the means to be able to<br />

live your life. What are those areas of your<br />

life you want impacted this <strong>com</strong><strong>in</strong>g year<br />

and <strong>in</strong> the future through your bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />

results <strong>in</strong> 2005<br />

Once you know how much you want to<br />

make, then you can decide where it will <strong>com</strong>e<br />

from and what activities you need to do to hit<br />

those numbers. Be strategic <strong>in</strong> do<strong>in</strong>g this. By<br />

that I mean that you should base what you are<br />

go<strong>in</strong>g to do from know<strong>in</strong>g where the bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />

will <strong>com</strong>e from, not simply pick<strong>in</strong>g figures<br />

that are, say, 20% above last year. From the<br />

data you <strong>com</strong>piled from 2004, where did the<br />

For 2005, segment three to five target<br />

markets from the above categories or from<br />

a new emerg<strong>in</strong>g niche you can grow and<br />

identify what share of your bus<strong>in</strong>ess will<br />

<strong>com</strong>e from each of these areas. Then apply<br />

market<strong>in</strong>g budget and activities that will<br />

ensure that will happen.<br />

Leave at least 30 percent of your market<strong>in</strong>g<br />

budget un<strong>com</strong>mitted so you will have flexibility<br />

as the year unfolds to take advantage of<br />

new opportunities without go<strong>in</strong>g over budget.<br />

Review your technology needs (and<br />

wants) for 2005. Assign budget amounts<br />

here as well, with the same 30% unaccounted<br />

for. Make a list of those items that<br />

would be the best to buy or use next year<br />

and schedule when you will make the purchases.<br />

Start with the 3 th<strong>in</strong>gs that would<br />

<strong>in</strong>crease your productivity most.<br />

And, I don’t believe <strong>in</strong> the “reasonable”<br />

goals. It is better to aim high and miss than<br />

to aim low and make it. Don’t put a lid on<br />

it, but rather <strong>com</strong>mit to someth<strong>in</strong>g big that<br />

will stretch your th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g to do<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

that might be riskier than the normal, but<br />

that also have the potential of a bigger payoff.<br />

Plan to be extraord<strong>in</strong>ary <strong>in</strong> 2005<br />

<strong>in</strong>stead of ord<strong>in</strong>ary. If, each day, you start<br />

the day ask<strong>in</strong>g yourself, “How can I make<br />

today extraord<strong>in</strong>ary” your 2005 will be a<br />

supremely prosperous one!<br />
