July Ludie Article: Remember when I was complaining about how cold it was back in the winter months? Well, I don’t know what possessed me. I sure would like a little of the cold air outside now. I don’t want it all, just enough for a good breeze every now and then. I went shopping the other day and ran into my old friend, Gail Seward. Gail was talking about retiring and selling all her investment properties. She said she was just getting too old and it wasn’t as much fun as it used to be, when her husband was around. Gail’s husband passed away 4 years ago, and she has now decided to move up north closer to her children. Gail stated that she had found a buyer for her apartment complex and she was still negotiating the price. Gail and the buyer, Hugo Peabody, couldn’t agree on the price for the complex. Finally, they agreed that each would engage an appraiser and they would accept the average of the two appraisals as a fair price. Gail engaged Vern Story as her appraiser, and Hugo engaged Lucy Westenra as his appraiser. Both Realtors®, Vern and Lucy, were informed of the agreement of the principals. The two appraisal reports were submitted. The principals averaged the two valuations and made the transaction at the price determined. Six months later, it came to the attention of Gail that Vern was managing the building that he had appraised. Upon making further inquiries, she learned that Vern, for several years, had managed five other buildings owned by Hugo, and that he had been Hugo’s property manager at the time he accepted the appraisal assignment from her. At this point, Gail engaged Realtor® Kyle Cook to make an appraisal of the building she had sold to Hugo Peabody. Kyle’s valuation was approximately 30% higher than that arrived at six months earlier by Vern. Gail filed a complaint at the Association of REALTORS®, charging that when she hired Vern to appraise her property, she was unaware that he had a connection to her buyer, Hugo Peabody. Vern did not disclose his connection with Hugo and intentionally withheld the fact that he manages all of Hugo’s properties. Gail went on to state that Vern is currently managing the property that he had appraised for her in connection with the sale of her property to Hugo, and since he had not disclosed his relationship to Hugo he had acted unethically, and in the interest of his major client, had placed an excessively low valuation on the property he had appraised for her. At the hearing, Gail brought in a witness who stated that they had heard Hugo say that he had made a good buy in purchasing Gail’s apartment complex because her appraiser was his property manager. Hugo, appearing as a witness for Vern, disputed this and protested that he had paid a fair price. He substantiated Vern’s statement that management of the building formerly owned by Gail was never discussed between them until after Hugo had purchased the property. Well, do you think Vern is just making sure he has a continual revenue stream, or do you buy that he was doing the best job for his client? Maybe this is just selective memory on Vern’s part, but nevertheless, he didn’t tell the seller, Ms. Seward, that he managed the properties owned by the buyer. I don’t think that Ms. Seward would have hired him if she had known that he worked for the buyer, do you? It was concluded by the Hearing Panel that whether or not management of the complex was discussed between the buyer, Hugo Peabody, and the seller, Gail Seward’s Realtor®, Vern Story, prior to his purchase, Vern had a logically contemplated interest in it as a property manager in view of the fact that he had served as property manager for all other properties owned by Hugo Peabody. The Respondent, Vern Story was bound by the terms of Article 5 to disclose the interest he had with this property to his client, Gail Seward. He had failed to do this, so the panel found Vern in violation of Article 5 of the Code of Ethics. The Respondent, Vern Story, was directed to attend a Code of Ethics class within 180 days from the date the hearing decision became final. The proof of attendance must be furnished to the Association office upon completion.

Personal Assistants and the Law Taught by Beverly Pindling Part of the FloridaRealtors® Virtual Campus Series
Personal Assistants? Someone to get the coffee, return the surplus phone calls, and pick up lunch, right? What about helping you with personal errands, or trusting them with legal, financial, or sensitive items? Realtors® who decide to begin interviewing for a Personal Assistant need to understand how that person can and cannot help them according to the law, and this course will help them recognize the policies and procedures surrounding hiring and employing an assistant. Unsure about the difference in duties between a licensed assistant and a non-licensed assistant? Not sure what types of questions you can and cannot ask in an interview? This is the course for any Realtor® facing those questions. Objectives: At course completion students will have been provided with the following: A list of duties a non-licensed personal assistant and a licensed personal assistant may perform, how to interview candidates and determine the right person to hire, and how to assemble a policy manual and checklist which will aid in the training of a personal assistant. Students will also learn the alternative methods of paying their employee and what taxes they can be held responsible for.
