GMAR Successes in 2014

Those of you who were at the annual meeting last year may remember that I invited members to call my husband and business partner, Dmitry Koublitsky, if they had any problems with GMAR. I’m pleased to report that over the last 12 months, Dmitry received no calls; which can only mean you are completely satisfied with your GMAR membership!

Of course I know better. As much as the Board has strived to build upon a fantastic association, we all recognize opportunities for improvement.

Allow me to give you an overview of some of our successes in 2014:

GMAR focused on helping our members raise their level of professionalism and enhance their earnings.

This summer, we brought the Michigan debut of NAR Tech Edge to Metro Detroit. Members received tips on new real estate technologies from top producing agents from across the country.

In September, we rolled out a new client survey program to easily gauge your clients’ satisfaction and collect testimonials that can be posted on sites like Realtor.com. With Realcomp integration, RealSatisfied is easy to use and we are one of the first associations in the country offering this service to our members. Many of us won’t eat at a new restaurant or make a purchase on Amazon without checking online reviews. Whether we like it or not, consumers will find reviews about REALTORS®. It’s better to be in control of that process than to leave it to chance. If your brokerage is not yet offering RealSatisfied to your agents, please download the form here and send to GMAR.

Because GMAR conducts more designation trainings than any other association in the country, we were spotlighted as the only association in the country to receive the REBAC Hall of Fame award at this year’s NAR

convention.

We intensified our advocacy efforts. Our Government Affairs Committee endorsed political candidates championing home ownership and over 98.7% of our candidates prevailed statewide. With an even split between Republicans and Democrats, our RPAC funds support private property rights. GMAR became the first local association in Michigan to invest at the Platinum R level.

We sold our old building on Drake Road and relocated to Southfield. Doing so allowed us to reduce overall office expenditures and provide a more convenient location for member access.

While none of us are happy to be financially participating in the Realcomp lawsuit settlement, GMAR reduced the burden on our members by contributing a significant

http://www.gmaronline.com/documents/RealSatisfiedFlyerForm.pdf

portion of reserve funds to the settlement. Resolution of this lawsuit is allowing us to work toward our long time goal of a single source of data. We are hopeful that 2015 will be the year that this finally becomes a reality as we continue to negotiate Realcomp’s membership in the Great Lakes Repository. Providing complete MLS data from one source remains a top priority for the GMAR Board of Directors.

We worked on reconnecting with our membership. In addition to Tech Edge, our Golf Outing and Annual General Membership Meeting were both sold out. If you haven’t bought your Holiday Party tickets yet, you may do so by visiting the GMAR calendar webpage. Our Member Services Committee has done a fantastic job developing and putting on events for you.

We strengthened our relationship with our Affiliate Members. Our Affiliates brought valuable REALTOR® training to every district of GMAR this year with their Selling to Homebuyers 101 seminars. The next time you need help with moving, a mortgage, staging, title and more, be sure to check out our Affiliates listed on the GMAR website. They are eager to help you succeed.

We supported our growing WCR chapters and YPN. These two groups have flourished and Michigan now has the 4th largest WCR membership in the country. In large part, this is due to the rapid growth of the chapters within GMAR.

We grew. GMAR surpassed the 6,000 REALTOR® Member milestone this year and we are the association of choice for more than a quarter of Michigan’s REALTORS®.

We are fortunate to have a dedicated staff and truly fantastic volunteers. I’m thankful to have had the chance to work with GMAR leadership and committee members who all generously gave their time and energy to building a better GMAR.

I thank you all for the experiences you have given me as President of GMAR. I take great pride in being a REALTOR® and serving as your president has been a tremendous honor. I’m looking forward to even bigger things from GMAR in the coming years, and I would encourage each of you to find a place to volunteer within our association. If your experience is anything like mine, your return on investment will be immeasurable. I’ve gained incredible knowledge, wonderful referral partners, lifelong friends and a very deep respect for the industry that provides my livelihood. Accept the challenge. Make a commitment to your Association. It may change your life, much like it has changed mine.

And on that note, Dmitry has said you may still call him in the coming year, even though he can no longer help you with concerns about GMAR. He’s always up for a pleasant phone call.

By DUANE MARSHChief Executive Officer

Making It

In Brian Tracy’s book, The Way to Wealth, Part One 1, The Journey Begins-Success Strategies for the Wealth Entrepreneur, he outlines a game plan for success.

1. Clarity – You must have written goals for every part of your life. This is something we all know but typically don’t have the time or patience for. Zig Ziglar put it this way, “You must become a meaningful specific rather than a wandering generality.” You must have a vision that is centered on your passions.

2. Competence – Simply, you must be good at what you do. You must want to be in the top 10 percent in your field. Jim Collins, in his book, Good to Great, outlines the steps to achieving competence. You need to have passion for what you are doing; you must have the potential to be the best in your field, and must be a product or service where money can be made.

3. Constraints – Expect road blocks on your journey. Prioritize action steps to ensure you are focused on the most important. Mr. Tracy invokes the 80/20 rule here: “Fully 80 percent of the reasons you are not achieving your goals as quickly as you want will be within you. Only 20 percent will be constrained in external circumstances or people.”

4. Creativity – Be innovative and solve problems that arise. Focus on solutions and what has to be done rather than what has been done.

5. Concentration – Throw your whole self into the task at hand. Make lists of your priorities each day. Be tenacious in accomplishing these priorities in order and to completion.

6. Courage – From the author, “It takes tremendous courage to take the entrepreneurial risks necessary to become wealthy. In study after study, experts have concluded it is courage to take the first step that makes all the difference. This is the courage to launch in the direction of your goals, with no guarantees of success.”

7. Continuous Action – Be moving forward all the time. Do productive things when you are at work. “Top people, especially entrepreneurs, seem to have these three qualities.

First, they learn more things. Second, they try more things. Third, they persist longer than anyone else.”

These steps are known by many. The ultimate catalyst appears to be that few people will initiate them and follow through. I would surmise that those who achieve success do

not chase wealth and success. They strive to do something of value, something that makes people feel good, something they really enjoy doing, something they want to be great at. The rewards are simply the results of the actions.

Farewell to Departing BOD MembersGMAR thanks the following members

for their time and dedication to the improvement of GMAR and the real estate profession. Departing members include:

MICHAEL FONTANAAffiliate Director

CLEVELAND JACKSONDistrict 7 Director

BARTLEY PATTERSONPast President

SHELLEY SCHOENHERRDistrict 1 Director

REBECCA WILLIAMSONDistrict 5 Director

Incoming BOD MembersGMAR Members cast their votes

for 5 new members of the Board of Directors this past October and they were installed at the Annual General Membership Meeting held November 13. We welcome the following to their positions at the start of 2015.

GERALD MILLERDistrict 1 Director

“Keeping the Realtor central to the transaction is what I believe to be our biggest challenge. The question we all need to ask is, ‘What is our value to the consumer and do they want to pay for it?’ Becoming an educated professional from all aspects of the transaction is key to our success. I hope to add perspective that may have been overlooked, analyze all issues discussed from both sides and set policy to favor our membership. Being a grassroots REALTOR® provides me a unique perspective to do this.”

JAMES IODICEDistrict 3 Director

“As the largest association in the State, GMAR demonstrates itself as an industry leader. The MemberMax™ program is perfect example of how GMAR continues to innovate and put education as a top priority. Diverse and extensive educational classes support a continued drive to grow and strengthen our profession and our standards of practice. I will support and encourage a mindset of constant improvement. My passion for property ownership and our profession will shine through every part of what I do as District 3 Director.”

Annual General Membership Meeting Recap

G E N E R A L M E M B E R S H I P M E E T I N G


JOHN O’BRIENDistrict 5 Director

“The biggest challenges facing the real estate profession are keeping the brokers and agents as key components in our industry and not having our value as professionals minimized by outside entities and institutions that may not adhere to our ethics or standards of practice. Another challenge is to make sure licensed real estate professionals strive to work within ethical guidelines. GMAR has vast resources, both human and financial, to draw from. My role would be to promote the Association and its value to its members, help provide the members a professional association in which they can prosper, as well as monitor its financial and future administrative direction to insure GMAR’s place in the real estate industry is protected and continues to grow.”

MONIQUE CARTERDistrict 7 Director

“I will bring this position a strong work ethic, desire to succeed, willingness to cooperate with others, integrity, enthusiasm and excellence in my everyday efforts. I will bring an aggressive approach to seminars and conferences to the consumer on land lord tenant rights, understanding

short sales, the role of the REALTOR® and understanding a changing market place. I will support all Board efforts already in place, be a team player to help execute the vision of GMAR and use my 18 years of successful experience to add a fresh perspective to the GMAR leadership team.”

JOHNNA STRUCKAffiliate Director

“It is an honor and a pleasure to serve the REALTOR® community of GMAR. I look forward to being part of the Board to assist in seeking new ideas to develop member involvement. Thank you to my Affiliate peers who hold the confidence to vote me into this position.”

It is truly a great thing to have been nominated and then to have won along with all the people who have been before me and all the people who will be after me. It’s a great honor, really.”

REALTOR® Active in Politics

TERI SPIROThe REALTOR® Active in Politics

2014 Election Recap

With a tremendous effort from the local associations and the RPAC Trustees committee, Michigan Realtors® had a 98.7% success rate with state and federal general election endorsements. Locally, GMAR made endorsement recommendations in 32 State House and Senate Seats and had a success rate of 96.8%. A big thank you to all of those at GMAR that took part in the candidate interviews!

On the State level, Governor Rick Snyder will remain at the helm of the executive branch, and both the Michigan House and Senate will continue with Republican control. The Senate now has a 27-11 Republican Majority, and the House Republicans gained seats for a 63-47 Majority. New leadership has recently been announced in both chambers as well:

• Senate Majority Leader: Senator Arlan Meekhof (R-Olive Twp)

• Senate Majority Floor Leader: Senator Mike Kowall (R-White Lake Twp.)

• Senate Minority Leader: Senator Jim Ananich (D-Flint)

• Senate Minority Floor Leader: Senator Morris Hood III (D-Detroit)

• Speaker of the House: Representative Kevin Cotter (R-Mt. Pleasant)

• House Majority Floor Leader: Representative Aric Nesbitt (R-Lawton)

• Representative Tim Greimel (D-Auburn Hills) will remain at his post as House Minority Floor Leader.

A big thank you to all of our members who volunteer their time and efforts in the endorsement process. It greatly assists in fostering relationships between elected officials and the real estate industry.

JOHNNA STRUCKChanging Places Moving & Services, Owner GMAR Affiliate Committee Chair2013 WCR Michigan State Affiliate of the YearWCR Birmingham Bloomfield Financial Secretary

As 2014 comes to a close, we typically reflect on what’s been done and plan for what is to come. GMAR has shined a spotlight on its Affiliates in 2014 by allowing us to exhibit our services and talents through several creative sponsorships and sponsorship programs. If you are NOT involved you may want to contact the GMAR staff to see what has occurred this past year and plan to get involved for 2015.

The Selling to Homebuyers 101 series of seminars was created by the Affiliate Committee in 2013 and successfully carried into 2014 with 8 sessions supported by the GMAR Board Members in their respective districts. These educational offerings allowed for Affiliates to share knowledge in their respective fields that would equip GMAR REALTORS® with valuable tools to aid their selling techniques. These seminars featured topics such as staging, moving and storage, title insurance, mortgage financing, home inspections, appraisal services, home warranties and legal services. Knowledge bestowed on REALTORS® through

these seminars pays dividends in their everyday real estate transactions.

The GMAR sponsorship model was restructured to better meet the needs of our diverse Affiliate base. Gold Sponsors were highlighted at the GMAR Annual Membership Meeting with booths to greet REALTORS® as they entered the venue. The meeting was well attended which equated to greater interpersonal time for our Gold Sponsor Affiliate Members. Silver and Bronze Sponsors where mentioned, listed in the program and included on signage. This new sponsorship structure is exciting to say the least. To learn more about these opportunities click here and contact the GMAR office. Don’t miss out on being at the forefront of our REALTOR® partner’s minds in 2015!

Lastly, and most importantly, as my year of chairing the Affiliate Committee comes to an end, I would like to thank the Affiliates that stepped forward to assist and plan, the REALTORS® who supported us through the Affiliate Orientation as well as attending the Selling to Homebuyers 101 and the GMAR staff. You have all made it a pleasure to serve and support the GMAR membership. I look forward to continuing my service as Affiliate Director on the 2015 GMAR Board of Directors. It has been an extremely positive relationship and I encourage every Affiliate Member to step forward and get INVOLVED.

GMAR Members Leading the Way

From An Affiliate


After wrapping up the National Women’s Council Annual Meetings, big things happened for a few GMAR members in the Council.

First, I will serve as the 2015 Regional Vice President. I will represent Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin at the National Council. Voting took place in May at the Mid-Year REALTOR® Party Conference and I was officially installed at the National Meeting in New Orleans, LA. The installation was a grand gala, coinciding with the installation of the National Women’s Council Governing Board.

Our next exciting moment was the election of Brenda Lee Szlachta to the National Executive Committee. Two seats were available and five candidates ran for the positions. As a member of the voting delegation for this national position, I was proud to nominate Brenda Lee. In the first round of voting, Brenda Lee came out

the victor and earned the first spot for National Executive Committee. Her campaign speech wowed the audience as it received a thunderous applause! This is a 3 year appointment and I know Brenda Lee will represent our REALTOR® community well.

I have much gratitude for GMAR as I know the experiences I’ve had with the Association have helped me in my leadership role with the Council; and vice-a-versa!

So, my challenge to all of our GMAR and Council Members is, GET INVOLVED. You will grow your business, enhance your referral network and develop your leadership skills!

Don’t forget WCR chapters span the GMAR map: Birmingham/Bloomfield, Greater Rochester, Lake Pointe, and the new 275 Corridor. These chapters await your participation. Come Join Us.

Top Ten Reasons to Invest in RPAC

10. RPAC works at all levels of government. 70% stays at the state and local levels. Most of the money stays in our backyard for issues like property taxes, unnecessary regulation and disclosure requirements.

9. RPAC is truly non-partisan. We support the REALTOR® Party! It’s not about Republicans or Democrats, liberals or conservatives. The REALTOR® Party is focused only on issues that matter to us and our clients, other property owners.

8. Advocacy in the REALTOR® Party is as easy as: Vote. Act. Invest. Get engaged. Make a difference. If we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.

7. RPAC supports our clients and community. It’s not about us as REALTORS®. It’s not charity, but it’s not self-serving either. Every home sale puts an average of $62,000 into the local economy. RPAC helps our client’s livelihood, lifestyles and personal wealth!

6. RPAC is like insurance for your business. It protects you more than you know! You’ve got insurance for your home, your car and your health, right? Why not your profession? With RPAC support we have a profession to continue.

5. RPAC protects private property rights and promotes homeownership. More closings for you by being a champion for you in areas that count.

4. You can invest on a monthly/quarterly basis. Invest the amount that’s right for you and your business. It’s easy, affordable and makes a difference! Click here to invest now.

3. Mortgage Interest Deduction and other tax benefits are cool. It’s cool – seriously. So is the 30-year mortgage, property tax deduction, flood insurance and a bunch of other benefits that make homeownership accessible and affordable.

2. Investing in RPAC saves you from having to read legislation and go to the capitol yourself. You have a lawyer to protect your rights, a banker to protect your money, and insurance to protect your home and property. RPAC protects your livelihood.

1. Every investor wants your support too, and we’re asking you to invest. Invest in RPAC to preserve property ownership rights and our livelihood.
