PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVE<br />

Celebrate<br />

HugH RideR<br />

Collaboration<br />

2014-2015 President, Chicago Association of REALTORS ®<br />

In our fast-paced industry, we seldom have an<br />

opportunity to take time to pause and reflect on our<br />

accomplishments as professionals.<br />

That’s why our annual Sales Awards is one of my<br />

favorite C.A.R. events, as it provides each and every one<br />

of us an opportunity to honor excellence in our industry<br />

and recognize how we each have an individual role to<br />

play in our collective success.<br />

Whatever your industry niche - whether you primarily<br />

serve renters, buyers, sellers or investors – the Sales<br />

Awards remind us that our business goals are aligned<br />

to help our industry as a whole succeed.<br />

Each of us contribute to the industry in our own unique<br />

way. What we share is a dedication and desire to serve our<br />

clients by helping them fulfill their expectations and goals.<br />

What is important to recognize is how the work we do<br />

today can help lay the foundation for tomorrow. When<br />

we serve renters, we are working with young professionals<br />

who will likely become future homeowners. When we<br />

help professionals purchase their first home, we may be<br />

helping a future real estate investor.<br />

Similarly, the work we do at the Chicago Association of<br />

REALTORS ® can only be elevated if we bridge new connections<br />

with other real estate organizations. This, too,<br />

will help set a foundation for our future and the livelihood<br />

of our business.<br />

The potential to strengthen alliances with BOMA/Chicago,<br />

homebuilders and neighborhood apartment associations<br />

is strategic to our overall mission as Chicago REALTORS ® .<br />

The real estate business will benefit if we see our goals as<br />

related, and approach them together to achieve more.<br />

As we all<br />

know, collaboration<br />

is the<br />

essence and<br />

spirit of our<br />

profession,<br />

and it’s<br />

important<br />

to continue<br />

cultivating<br />

opportunities.<br />

Sales Awards is a chance to celebrate<br />

this cooperation amongst practitioners. Whether you<br />

are a residential or commercial broker, it’s time for your<br />

colleagues to recognize your accomplishments and share<br />

in your success. This is an occasion to celebrate achievements,<br />

but also a platform for new practitioners to visualize<br />

their potential.<br />

Congratulations! I applaud your hard work and thank<br />

you for allowing the Chicago Association of REALTORS ®<br />

help steer your success through the myriad networking<br />

and education opportunities available this year.<br />

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF<br />

Giving Back to<br />

Enrich Communities<br />

Over the last year in my role as president of All Chicago,<br />

I’ve been privileged to be part of an organization that<br />

brings together a committed community of service<br />

providers, advocates, volunteers, consumers and donors<br />

who collectively make a uniquely powerful impact on<br />

homelessness in Chicago.<br />

Working to ensure the stability of<br />

home for everyone is my passion, and<br />

fulfills my lifelong commitment to<br />

volunteerism.<br />

On a personal note, I was fortunate to<br />

learn the value of how one profound<br />

small act can make a difference when<br />

I began volunteering at a young age.<br />

The importance of looking at small<br />

ways to help the community was as<br />

clear to me then as it is now.<br />

I believe there is an opportunity for<br />

everybody to spend a few hours to give<br />

back through some act of kindness -<br />

whether large or small. Giving back is<br />

something Chicago REALTORS ® do so<br />

well. Our membership played a major<br />

role in last year’s holiday drive helping<br />

Advocates for Adolescent Mothers<br />

(AFAM).<br />

Your generous contributions made<br />

it possible for the nonprofit group to<br />

provide the following to young mothers<br />

facing homelessness and their<br />

children:<br />

• 246 toys, balls, games and puzzles<br />

• 88 coats<br />

• 83 hats, gloves and scarves<br />

• 76 books<br />

As Chicago REALTORS ® with strong<br />

neighborhood ties, it’s a natural fit that<br />

you should all be thinking of community<br />

engagement. We recently asked<br />

how you give back, and we received<br />

200 responses.<br />

Here’s what you told us about how you<br />

volunteer your time and money:<br />

• 62 percent say the primary reason<br />

they volunteer is to give back, with<br />

19 percent saying it makes them<br />

feel good.<br />

• 71 percent volunteer in some way.<br />

• Three-quarters volunteer in the<br />

community where they live, while<br />

nearly half volunteer in the community<br />

where they work.<br />

• One-third of respondents volunteer<br />

for three or more organizations.<br />

• Four in 10 volunteer for an hour or<br />

more every week.<br />

• Volunteer ties run deep with 43<br />

percent saying they have been<br />

volunteering more than 10 years.<br />

It’s extremely encouraging to know so<br />

many Chicago REALTORS ® already<br />

devote free time to volunteerism. If you<br />

don’t already, challenge yourself to give<br />

back. Find what you’re passionate about<br />

and pursue opportunities. Volunteer<br />

efforts enrich our communities, and a<br />

stronger community can only serve our<br />

real estate industry well.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

ginger downs, Rce, cae, cips, iom<br />

2014 Sales Awards<br />

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE<br />

Congratulations to the winners of C.A.R.’s 2014 Sales Awards. These awards recognize the<br />

hard work, superior market knowledge, mastery of technology and tools, and cooperation<br />

with other REALTORS ® that have helped build your success.<br />

C.A.R. Sales Awards honor the achievements of our top producers, and our members’<br />

collective efforts to bring the highest level of professionalism, ethics, commitment and<br />

service to buyers and sellers in the Chicagoland area.<br />

Data was pulled and compiled on Jan. 16, 2015 for the 2014 year. Agents or offices which<br />

changed during this time may not necessarily reflect where a respective agent is today, or<br />

a new office’s name. Residential transactions are solely based on data from Midwest Real<br />

Estate Data (MRED). Teams have been recognized from the agents’ own declaration in<br />

MRED as a “team.”<br />

We wish you every success in 2015 as you continue to do excellent work on behalf of your<br />

clients and our industry.<br />

SuccessTips<br />

from the<br />

Top Producers<br />

“Continue to stay<br />

up to date with the<br />

changes in technology<br />

and how consumers<br />

view real estate.<br />

Accept the fact that<br />

what worked last year<br />

may not be the best<br />

strategy for this year.”<br />

Jon Millikin<br />

Jameson Sotheby’s<br />

International Realty<br />

>><br />

“The secret to my<br />

success in 2014<br />

was building a<br />

great team to give<br />

efficient service,<br />

not procastinate<br />

& promote listings<br />

on social media.”<br />

Coya Smith<br />

Smith Partners<br />

& Associates<br />

“The market<br />

changes constantly<br />

so stay current<br />

with market trends,<br />

stay focused and<br />

always have a<br />

positive attitude!”<br />

Emelin Brown<br />

Roman Realty Group<br />

“All successful<br />

brokers are<br />

honest and follow<br />

the laws provided<br />

by the Illinois Real<br />

Estate Act.”<br />

Erickson Ocasio<br />

I Move Chicago<br />

“2015 will be a fast<br />

market. So act quickly<br />

and advocate fiercely<br />

for your clients. Think<br />

outside the box and<br />

be creative in your<br />

marketing approach<br />

and offer writing.”<br />

Carrie Georgitsis<br />

Redfin Corporation<br />

“Knowing my goal.<br />

Developing my<br />

plan to reach that<br />

goal. Executing the<br />

plan and making<br />

sure I’m held<br />

accountable to<br />

what I commit to.”<br />

Phil Byers<br />

Keller Williams<br />

“Do not rely solely<br />

on technology.<br />

Personal touch will<br />

give your business<br />

a much more solid<br />

foundation.”<br />

Ivona<br />

“New construction<br />

is on the rise. Learn<br />

about new development<br />

opportunities and<br />

educate your buyers.<br />

With the lack of existing<br />

inventory - it’s a great<br />

way to fulfill their<br />

homeownership needs.”<br />

Erin Mandel<br />

@properties<br />

>> >> >><br />

“Continue to<br />

sharpen all of your<br />

skills, even the<br />

ones you already<br />

excel at. Always<br />

ask yourself, ‘How<br />

could I have done<br />

this better?’”<br />

Brian Somera<br />

Chicago Apartment<br />

Finders<br />

>><br />

“2015 is going to be<br />

an exciting year in<br />

Chicago real estate.<br />

Staying informed about<br />

the market is crucial<br />

to success. With new<br />

development, more<br />

transactions and<br />

increased competition,<br />

knowledge is power.”<br />

Aaron Galvin<br />

Luxury Living<br />

Chicago Realty<br />

>><br />

“Never stop prospecting.<br />

Always look for<br />

the opportunity to tell<br />

someone you are a<br />

real estate broker.<br />

Be very organized and<br />

adhere to a schedule<br />

as much as possible.”<br />

Melissa Govedarica<br />

Sergio & Banks<br />

“Good follow up.<br />

Consistency.<br />

Customer service.<br />

Giving past clients<br />

a great reason to<br />

refer their friends.”<br />

Danicka Brown<br />

@properties<br />

“Don’t focus on being<br />

better than someone<br />

else. Instead, focus<br />

on being better than<br />

you were from the day<br />

before. You will then be<br />

presenting the best<br />

version of you, every<br />

single day. You can’t<br />

lose in that equation.”<br />

Tommy Choi<br />

Weinberg Choi<br />

“Know the market<br />

– Chicago<br />

developers are<br />

back and they are<br />

building in every<br />

corner of the city.”<br />

Carrie McCormick<br />

“Honest,<br />

knowledgeable<br />

answers are key.<br />

People can get<br />

and dedication!<br />

Also, loving<br />

what you do<br />

makes all the<br />

difference in<br />

Donna<br />

Anello-Surma<br />

on making<br />

on providing<br />

value to the client<br />

and the money<br />

will come.”<br />

Gary Lucido<br />

FROM THE EDITOR<br />

as chicago RealToRs ® ,<br />

a key part of your daily<br />

business strategy includes<br />

making connections.<br />

Meeting new prospects and professional contacts more often<br />

results in leads, referrals and new investment opportunities to<br />

help your business grow and reach new heights.<br />

The Chicago Association of<br />

REALTORS ® is no different than<br />

practitioners like you when it comes<br />

to recognizing how creating new<br />

connections helps increase opportunities<br />

and resources for our members.<br />

C.A.R. has partnered with six interest-based<br />

organizations serving the<br />

Chicagoland area. These partnerships<br />

will provide professionals with<br />

organizational, promotional and<br />

training support and in turn, will<br />

enhance the ability to serve C.A.R.’s<br />

existing members.<br />

• Asian Real Estate Association<br />

of America (AREAA) – Chicago<br />

Chapter<br />

• Dearborn Realtist Board<br />

(NAREB Chicago Chapter)<br />

look at our resource guide on p. 42-43<br />

to gain a deeper perspective of each<br />

organization and their mission.<br />

C.A.R. will also serve as an industry<br />

sponsor to these organizations. Our<br />

goal is to introduce C.A.R. members to<br />

events and industry-related information<br />

on a very broad scale. Our partners<br />

serve this purpose.<br />

These partners host numerous<br />

networking and educational events –<br />

each with at least one event per month.<br />

If you take the time to attend, you will<br />

assuredly continue to heighten your<br />

knowledge and understanding within<br />

the field, along with tapping into everimportant<br />

networking opportunities to<br />

access greater success.<br />

MILLENNIALS,<br />

MORTGAGE RATES AND<br />

NEW CONSTRUCTION:<br />

2015 MARKET OUTLOOK<br />

millennials, lending trends,<br />

new construction and a<br />

strong commercial outlook<br />

topped the discussion at our 2015<br />

Market Outlook in January.<br />

Jonathan Smoke, chief economist at<br />

REALTOR.com, forecasts a slightly<br />

stronger economic performance and<br />

more substantial increases in existing<br />

and new home sales.<br />

Jonathan smoke<br />

Looking forward to<br />

2015, Realtor.com is<br />

forecasting slightly<br />

stronger economic<br />

performance and more substantial<br />

increases in existing and new home sales.<br />

The gains in housing activity will be<br />

driven by the improving economic<br />

conditions, especially employment-related<br />

douglas Johnson<br />

Chief Economist<br />

REALTOR.com<br />

opportunities that will enable millennials,<br />

the largest generation in history for the<br />

U.S., to enter home ownership in more<br />

significant numbers. The Chicago<br />

metropolitan statistical area is following<br />

the overall U.S. trend and will also see<br />

growth in first-time buyers enabled by the<br />

market’s relatively strong levels of<br />

affordability.<br />

Managing Director<br />

CBRE Auction Services<br />

Douglas Johnson, Managing Director,<br />

CBRE Auction Services, predicts the<br />

markets in general will continue to<br />

improve in 2015, and David Wolf,<br />

President, Related Realty, says new<br />

condo development is beginning to<br />

increase in pace and project size.<br />

Continued job<br />

growth, low interest<br />

rates and moderate<br />

increases in Gross<br />

Domestic Product (GDP) will serve the<br />

U.S. commercial real estate market well<br />

in 2015. Good markets and good market<br />

fundamentals make most real estate<br />

investors look fairly proficient at their<br />

craft and 2015 will be no exception.<br />

However, real estate investing is not<br />

for the faint of heart and is never easy.<br />

Investors will be faced with many<br />

obstacles in 2015, including a scarcity<br />

of Class A Core product that will lead to<br />

capitalization rate compression for these<br />

highly sought after properties.<br />

We have more of their predictions at<br />

www.ChicagoREALTOR.com.<br />

david Wolf<br />

Throughout 2014,<br />

we started to hear a<br />

lot of chatter about<br />

developers planning<br />

new construction projects throughout the<br />

city. New condo development has officially<br />

started taking place and is beginning to<br />

increase in pace and project size. However,<br />

President<br />

Related Realty<br />

we are still about three years out from any<br />

large scale developments delivering new<br />

product in Chicago, and at least one year<br />

out from completion for medium scale<br />

new construction projects.<br />

Ethics Citation<br />

Program<br />

Advancing REALTOR ® Professionalism<br />

A new program that protects buyers, sellers and REALTORS ®<br />

The Ethics Citation Program allows members of the public and REALTORS ® to report unethical conduct and<br />

enables C.A.R. to more quickly discipline violations.<br />

How the Ethics Citation Program Works<br />

1. A REALTOR® or member of the public files<br />

a complaint against a C.A.R. member.<br />

• The complaint can be anonymous.<br />

• The complaint must have documentation/evidence.<br />

2. A C.A.R. citation panel meets to review the complaint.<br />

3. If the panel determines there is enough evidence, it will<br />

fine the REALTOR® based on the Citation Violation Schedule.<br />

4. The REALTOR® can pay the fine or appeal.<br />

5. After an appeal, the complaint will proceed to the<br />

Code of Ethics hearing process.<br />

6. If payment is not received within the time-frame<br />

allotted, suspension of membership including MLS<br />

access will occur.<br />

COMMERCIAL FORUM<br />

short-term Rentals:<br />

more Risks than Rewards<br />

LIABILITY<br />

If we dig a little deeper, the next logical landing spot for<br />

liability might be the renter’s insurance; however, the<br />

“commercial purpose” clause included in most policies<br />

probably means they will not cover the injured guest. In this<br />

case, the odds are possible that liability could potentially land<br />

on the landlord’s plate. If you plan to allow your tenants to<br />

use Airbnb, please make sure you pay close attention to<br />

these ongoing policy changes.<br />

So I know what some of you are thinking: Why don’t I, the<br />

landlord, just place my vacant units on Airbnb directly to<br />

better mitigate liability and earn the profits myself? Good<br />

question, but the risks remain.<br />

In the age of apps, C2C business is more prevalent<br />

than ever. Services like Uber and Lyft have cut out the<br />

middleman to provide easier and more efficient ways<br />

of doing business. The housing market has its own services like<br />

Airbnb and Couchsurfing. But did you know these services could<br />

put landlords at risk?<br />

New York City officials estimate three-quarters of all Airbnb<br />

rentals in the city are illegal, violating zoning or other laws,<br />

with commercial operators supplying more than one-third<br />

of the units and generating more than one-third of the<br />

revenue. The scale has gotten so large that New York City has sued<br />

the owners of two buildings for essentially running illegal hotels.<br />

The extra income sounds nice, but at the cost of added scrutiny,<br />

violations and lawsuits - you may want to take the pragmatic<br />

approach and simply forbid short-term sublets in your lease. Many<br />

Chicago landlords, myself included, already have.<br />

Airbnb defines itself as a trusted community marketplace for people<br />

to list, discover and book unique accommodations around the world;<br />

whether it is a villa for a month, or an apartment for a night.<br />

Chris Pezza<br />

Sales & Leasing Manager<br />

Rockwell Partners, LLC<br />

Generally speaking, an individual property owner uses the service to<br />

find short-term renters looking for vacation housing at a price more<br />

affordable than nearby hotels.<br />

Having used Airbnb, I can say it is a fabulous service and an<br />

affordable way to stay in a luxury beach house in California for a<br />

few nights. But as a landlord myself, I also understand the inherent<br />

problems. It is possible that you currently have a tenant within your<br />

portfolio subletting his or her apartment to a stranger, at a profit,<br />

unbeknownst to you.<br />

One woman in New York reportedly rented five different properties<br />

from five different landlords, and used them as Airbnb rentals to<br />

make significant profits. One of her five landlords had a strong lease,<br />

and was actually able to evict her once he found out about the illegal<br />

sublets. Disaster averted for that landlord.<br />

The liability for a landlord does not stop at just having illegal renters.<br />

What happens if one of these guests is injured during his or her<br />

stay? Airbnb now includes up to $1 million in coverage, but this is<br />

only secondary insurance.<br />

Government Affairs Update<br />

Chicago<br />

The Chicago Association<br />

of REALTORS ® (C.A.R.) is<br />

dedicated to advocating<br />

for REALTORS ® and their<br />

clients. We utilize several<br />

different committees and<br />

coalitions and a full-time<br />

professional staff to<br />

effectively and efficiently<br />

achieve this goal.<br />

The C.A.R. Governmental<br />

Affairs department lobbies<br />

legislators and regulators<br />

to help pass laws that<br />

maintain a healthy<br />

business environment for<br />

our members and for their<br />

clients, and works to defeat<br />

laws which increase<br />

the cost of housing and<br />

inhibit the growth of the<br />

real estate industry.<br />

Government Affairs<br />

Housing policy: key efforts<br />

The framework of our advocacy efforts is IAR’s<br />

Housing Policy – available at illinoisRealToR.org.<br />

This sets forth a series of objectives that govern<br />

how we work on behalf of your business.<br />

Here are the key issues facing Chicago REALTORS ® ,<br />

and how the Housing Policy guides our actions:<br />

Housing affordability and diversity<br />

• affordable Requirements ordinance (aRo):<br />

Although the private profit and nonprofit<br />

market must assume chief responsibility,<br />

government at all levels must be partners.<br />

• abandoned building ordinances or funding for<br />

the homeless: The government has a role in<br />

providing related services to the homeless, those<br />

at risk of foreclosure and those at the primary<br />

stages of leasing and/or homeownership.<br />

equal opportunity issues<br />

• fair Housing: We pledge to uphold the spirit as<br />

well as the letter of the law through programs,<br />

activities and training designed to promote and<br />

further the right of equal opportunity in housing<br />

for all people.<br />

Housing Tax policy<br />

• Transfer Tax: We oppose the imposition of real<br />

estate transfer taxes by local governments.<br />

• mortgage interest deduction: We support the<br />

federal mortgage interest deduction and state<br />

enhancements, such as mortgage credit<br />

certificates.<br />

Removing Barriers to diverse and<br />

affordable Housing<br />

• chicago Building code: We support policies and<br />

programs to promote technological advances in<br />

the construction industry designed to reduce<br />

housing costs without adverse impact on health<br />

and safety.<br />

• chicago Residential landlord and Tenant<br />

ordinance (RlTo): We oppose landlord-tenant<br />

legislation that is injurious to the basic rights<br />

of private property ownership.<br />

• Rent control measures: Rent control measures<br />

ultimately decrease the availability of affordable<br />

housing and infringe upon the right of<br />

Americans to own property free of unreasonable<br />

controls.<br />

C.a.r. welcomes Second<br />

lobbyist<br />

The Chicago Association of REALTORS ® is fortunate<br />

to welcome a second Governmental Affairs Director.<br />

Kristopher J. Anderson served Cook County<br />

for 10 years, working in its revenue and budget and<br />

management services departments, and its Board of<br />

Review. He also has a wealth of campaign experience<br />

and served in a congressional district office.<br />

Anderson will join Brian Bernardoni to represent and<br />

advocate for Chicago REALTORS ® before Chicago City<br />

Hall, Cook County Board, Cook County Land Bank and<br />

the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District.<br />

Anderson holds a bachelor’s degree in political<br />

science and speech communication from the<br />

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He earned<br />

a project management strategy certificate from the<br />

University of Chicago Graham School.<br />

MRED UPDATE<br />

How MRED Can Help You<br />

Build Better Business<br />

As a licensed REALTOR ® and instructor, I find it amazing that many agents are only touching<br />

the surface of connectMLS . Using tools that you already have is the best way to build a<br />

business. Whether you’re new to the real estate industry, seasoned or reinventing yourself as an<br />

agent, Midwest Real Estate Data LLC (MRED) has a powerhouse of products that can help<br />

increase or jumpstart your business.<br />

Below are my favorite tools:<br />

1. Go paperless! Go paperless! Did you know that our<br />

MLS has a transaction management tool? Most agents<br />

don’t! Whether you’re on the listing or sale side of a<br />

transaction, you can manage your deal from contract<br />

to close using connectMLS . Store public and private<br />

documents, track transaction history, invite your<br />

buyers, sellers, attorneys, loan officers, inspector or<br />

anyone that is a party to the transaction to view<br />

documents, history and updates. Yes, you can also<br />

email updates to your participants. Take advantage<br />

of the tool you log into every day when you sign up<br />

for the “Digitally Track Your Transactions - Paperless<br />

Organization” class.<br />

2. Need a good CRM? The MLS is more than a place to<br />

list homes and search for homes. Real estate agents<br />

are able to manage their customer relationship management<br />

database. Agents have the ability to categorize<br />

each client from active, closed, family, friends,<br />

sphere of influence, custom lists and more. From these<br />

lists, you can track where your business comes from,<br />

email your database and print mailing labels. What are<br />

you waiting for? Take the connectMLS “Automated<br />

Prospecting and Farming” class today.<br />

3. Looking for more listings and buyers? If you answered<br />

“yes,” then make sure you’re proficient in Realist ® . Did<br />

you know you can search for expired properties,<br />

pre-foreclosures, move up buyers, tax exemption, map<br />

rubber band searches and more? You can also print<br />

labels, export a list or – do both – in minutes. This is<br />

one of my favorite tools in connectMLS . Why pay for<br />

leads when you can build your own lead generation<br />

mailing lists?<br />

4. Share your listings on social media. The Share My<br />

Listings widget feeds your active listings into a social<br />

media tool that includes share features for Facebook,<br />

Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest and more. Share<br />

your listings automatically to your Facebook Business<br />

Pages. When a home is listed, it auto feeds to Facebook.<br />

When it closes, the home is removed. This is a great<br />

way to market your seller’s home.<br />

5. Become a market expert. With InfoSparks, agents can<br />

share real time data to social media, websites, blogs<br />

and email. Live stats are at your fingertips.<br />

There are many products available to enhance your<br />

business, so take advantage of the tools you already pay for.<br />

Tips to Guard<br />

Against Identity Theft<br />

Cybercriminals can strike at any time, targeting<br />

vulnerable computer systems. It makes little difference<br />

to them whether they attack the systems of a<br />

government agency, Fortune 500 company, small<br />

business or an individual.<br />

By following these simple steps, you can minimize<br />

your chances of an incident.<br />

Set strong passwords, change them regularly,<br />

and don’t share them with anyone.<br />

Do not include your name, your kids’ or pets’<br />

names, or other well-known information about<br />

yourself in your password;<br />

Avoid using common words in your passwords<br />

or passphrases. Instead, break up<br />

words with numbers and punctuation marks<br />

or symbols. For example, @ can replace the<br />

letter “A” and an exclamation point (!) can<br />

replace the letters “I” and “L”; and<br />

Use a combination of upper and lower<br />

case letters.<br />

Keep your operating system, browser and other<br />

critical software optimized by installing updates.<br />

Maintain an open dialogue with your friends,<br />

family, colleagues and community about<br />

Internet safety.<br />

Use privacy settings and limit the amount of<br />

personal information you post online.<br />

Be cautious about offers online – if it sounds too<br />

good to be true, it probably is.<br />
