LEGAL FAQs

CODE OF ETHICS

Intentional Misrepresentation of a Competitor’s Business Practices

F

ollowing a round of golf early one morning, Homeowner A approached REALTOR® X. “We’ve outgrown our home and I want to list it with you,” said Homeowner A. “I’m sorry,” said REALTOR® X, “but I represent buyers exclusively.” “Then how about REALTOR® Z?,” asked Homeowner A, “I’ve heard good things about him.” “I don’t know if I would do that,” said REALTOR® X, “while he does represent sellers, he doesn’t cooperate with other brokers and, as a result, sellers don’t get strong offers for their properties.”

Later that day, Homeowner A repeated REALTOR® X’s remarks to his wife who happened to be a close friend of REALTOR® Z’s wife. Within hours, REALTOR® Z had been made aware of REALTOR® X’s remarks to Homeowner A earlier in the day. REALTOR® Z filed a complaint against REALTOR® X charging him with making false and misleading statements. REALTOR® Z’s complaint was considered by the Grievance Committee which determined that an ethics hearing should be held.

At the hearing REALTOR® Z stated, “I have no idea what REALTOR® X was thinking about when he made his comments to Homeowner A. I always cooperate with other REALTORS®.”

REALTOR® X replied, “That’s not so.

Last year you had a listing in the MLS and I spent months working with the buyers that submitted a purchase offer. You didn’t pay me the offer of compensation, though; you paid another broker who stole my clients from me at the last minute, and all he did was submit the purchase offer.”

REALTOR® Z countered REALTOR® X’s statements, indicating he had made

a blanket offer of compensation in the MLS, and that his refusal to pay REALTOR® X had nothing to do with him not cooperating with other brokers, but the fact that there was a procuring cause dispute at the end of the transaction. Upon questioning by panel members, REALTOR® X admitted he had no personal knowledge of any instance in which REALTOR® Z had refused to cooperate with any other broker, but assumed that his failure to pay the compensation REALTOR® X felt he had earned was likely how REALTOR® Z treated other brokers.

The Hearing Panel, in its deliberations, noted that cooperation and compensation are not synonymous. In fact, Standard of Practice 3-10 provided that the duty to cooperate established in Article 3 relates to the obligation to share information on listed property, and to make property available to other brokers for showing to prospective purchasers/tenants when it is in the best interests of sellers/landlords. In that respect, the Hearing Panel felt REALTOR® Z had, in fact, cooperated with REALTOR® X. However, to characterize REALTOR® Z’s refusal to pay requested compensation because of a genuine commission dispute as a “refusal to cooperate”, and to make the assumption and subsequent statement that REALTOR® Z “did not cooperate with other brokers”, was false, misleading, and not based on factual information. Consequently, REALTOR® X was found in violation of Article 15.

Q: Does the federal do-not-call legislation apply to door-to-door solicitations?

A: No. However, you may still be prohibited from making door-to-door solicitations if there is a community, municipal or county restriction on door-to-door solicitations or if there is a posted No Trespassing sign on the property or the community.

Q: I’m a broker who specializes in the sale of businesses and business opportunities. I want to call businesses in my area to see if they’re interested in selling. Do the federal Do Not Call laws or regulations apply to businesses?

A: No. The Do Not Call Registry is only for residential telephone numbers.

Safety Tips for GTR Young Professionals

Every day, REALTORS® put themselves in potentially dangerous situations that we may not think twice about.

Most of the time, we are alone. There are several ways to protect ourselves in our day to day activities. Below are simple tips that young professionals can add to their daily routine to keep themselves safe.

•

•

•

•

The simplest form that does not require an app or for you to be a “techie” is having a safety buddy that can be reached by phone. Call to inform him or her where you will be and for how long. Ensure that they will check in with you at the end of the set time period if they haven’t heard from you. The best part of the buddy system is that it allows you to reciprocate the favor when one of your colleagues is in the field.

Step up from the buddy system by adding another layer of safety. There are apps available that aren’t real estate specific but can be as easily applied. The iPhone has a “Find My Friends” app (Android has a similar app) that allows you to share your location with anyone that has an iPhone. You may choose to share your location for one hour, until the end of the day or indefinitely. This feature can be activated or deactivated with the push of a button.

When you are showing a home or holding an open house, avoid parking in the driveway. This not only gives potential home buyers the opportunity to experience what pulling up to their brand-new home feels like, but doubles as a safety measure to prevent your vehicle from being blocked in.

During the home showing, always announce your presence when entering the home. A simple, “Hello, REALTOR® coming in”, can go a long way. Allow your clients to walk in front of you when entering rooms and never have your back to them.

•

Be prepared for the unexpected. Always keep your phone charged, have gas in the tank and try to conduct your business during daylight hours.

•

Always be aware of your surroundings.

•

Always trust your gut feeling about situations.

PASSWORD PROTECTION

How Safe Are you passwords?

Avoid Bad Password Habits

by Tamiracle Williams According to Florida Association of REALTORSÂŽ Tech Helpline, 1 in 5 Americans have experienced a compromised online account. Between Association member portals and social media passwords, real estate professionals have several passwords to remember daily.

Some opt for the old fashion method of writing them down on paper. Others use password savers like Apple Keychain and Google Password. However, there is a better option that works across Android and Apple devices. It's called a password manager.

What's a password manager?

Consumer Reports describes password managers as a service that "can help defend against criminals by generating and storing passwords for each of your online accounts."

Real estate professionals should continue to take the following safety precautions regardless if they decide to purchase a password manager: 1. Always opt for multifactor authentication such as getting a verification code sent to your phone.

2. Regularly change your password, most websites including your Greater Tampa REALTORSÂŽ member portal will prompt you to change your password every 6-8 months.

3. Only use trusted computers and devices.

4. Don't use the same passwords across platforms.

It's important to remember that password managers are just an extra level of security for protecting your data.

Password managers are like a digital vault. Similar to Apple Keychain, most managers will auto-complete forms and have a copy-and-paste feature on mobile and tablet devices.

Passphrase and authentication codes help secure password managers. Some of the top password managers include Last Pass, 1Password, Dashlane and Sticky Password. Each offer individual and team/ business accounts. Some password managers start at a low price of $2.99 per month for an individual account.

AFFILIATE CORNER

Fourth quarter push Affiliate Commitment to Greater Tampa REALTORS® As we approach the end of 2019, the Affiliates are still as involved as they were in the beginning of the year. Great to see how successful the 2nd Annual Young Professionals Network Blue Party was this year. The 2019 Tech Expo will bring tons of great information to the members. Thank you to all the Affiliates who participated and sponsored these events. We appreciate your continuous support.

October starts off with a Housing Opportunities Lunch ‘n’ Learn and continues with GRI 300 Series Bundle as well as the Commercial 14-hr License Renewal. Want to be on top of your game? Take advantage of all the trainings, seminars and presentations Greater Tampa REALTORS® offers each month.

We don’t just stand in the back of the room with our swag.

We engage with REALTOR® members who have questions and need assistance with bettering their business.

We love the opportunity to mingle and discuss the services we provide. Check out the Affiliate Promotional booklet located on the GTR Business Affiliates Wall for promotional deals.

Ultimately, the Affiliates are here to serve. And we deliver the products and services that consumers need for their real estate interests.

JAY WAZELLE 2019 Affiliates Chair

Need an inspection, appraisal, casualty insurance, photographer, title insurance or a new roof? The list of products and services is offered by our Affiliates is long.
