Teton Pines Homeowner’s Association – new rule announcement

The Teton Pines Owner’s Association has become aware of a new real estate trend which involves an LLC or other entity purchasing residences which are then resold as multiple fractional ownership interests to other buyers. We remind TPOA Owners, potential buyers of Teton Pines residences, the realtor community and title companies that Teton Pines is a single-family residential development. Our CCRs do not allow these structures. The Board has modified the language of Community Rule 6 to make this prohibition clear to all parties.

We have posted the change on the TPOA website. The new rule now reads as follows:

============================================================

Pursuant to Article 1, Section 4 and Article VI, Section 2 of the CC&Rs, Owners shall use their sites and residences for single family residential purposes only.  Any time-sharing or other similar arrangement, such as fractional ownership or co-ownership as tenants in common by an unrelated group of people, whereby the use of the Lot is in effect allocated between different persons for separate or repeating time intervals, is expressly prohibited. Owners shall use and/or occupy their sites and residences in a manner consistent with all applicable Teton County, Wyoming Land Development Regulations and other applicable laws.

100 Days to Greatness – new NAR benefit

100 Days to Greatness – new NAR benefit

Lead REALTORS® to the Road to Greatness

 

For years, NAR heard from countless broker-owners that agents enter the business with excitement, which soon fizzles out due to the difficulties in managing complex day-to-day business operations.

Understanding this need to prevent new agent churn, Buffini & Company and NAR joined forces to provide a strong path of success for REALTORS®, especially those new to the field. 100 Days to Greatness®, unveiled at the 2020 REALTORS Conference & Expo, is a comprehensive, step-by-step training program designed for those looking to launch (or relaunch) their careers. The course will guide your members through proven strategies and tactics to build a productive and profitable business.

Who’s it designed for? The program is aimed at newer agents looking for a firm foundation, and those returning to the business after a hiatus. It’s also perfect for seasoned agents who are ready to take their business to the next level.

What will they learn?

·         Learn how to work by referral

·         Build a vibrant database

·         Use best practices to create clients for life

·         Gain the skills to close sales

·         Learn how to handle their commissions

·         Turn online leads into closed deals

What’s in it for brokers? This Program was designed to help brokers maximize retention efforts by ensuring new agents are well-trained from Day 1. Brokers who like to take a more hands-on approach have an option to lead their agents through the Program in a mentor/facilitator capacity.

Plus, NAR members who are new to Buffini & Company save $100 through the REALTOR Benefits® Program! 

Help your agents find success!
The REALTOR Benefits® Program features a wide range of savings and special offers just for REALTORS® from 30+ industry leaders including Dell, DocuSign, FedEx Office, and Liberty Mutual to name a few. Plus, discover personal insurance options from the REALTORS® Insurance Place, offering a full array of health and wellness solutions.

Uncover meaningful NAR member benefits from the official member benefits resource of the National Association of REALTORS®.

The Wyoming Realtors® updated the Wyoming Real Estate forms in 2020.  You can use the forms as you always have in either Zipforms or Form Simplicity.  Form Simplicity was able to update their platform to help make the forms more user-friendly.  For examples – if you choose cash in the financing section – then then lending info will drop away – no need to strike through that info.  This is just one example…. there are lots of other great things about the new form simplicity platform.

Fair Housing – two very informative videos to learn what is going on right now in our industry. Be informed!

REALTORS® are charged with upholding fair housing laws as well as offering professional service to all in their search for real property.

Watch this online workshop to help members avoid implicit bias in their daily business interactions. Drawing upon the latest evidence-based research, Perception explains how our brains’ automatic, instant association of stereotypes with particular groups can cause us to treat those who are different from us unfairly, despite our best intentions and often without our conscious awareness. Perception then applies these concepts to the everyday work of REALTORS®, and offers strategies to override bias in order to convey respect, ensure fairness, and improve business relationships.

Another interesting video investigation is the Newsday video – https://projects.newsday.com/long-island/real-estate-investigation-videos/  

Newsday’s paired testers visit real estate agents across Long Island to see if they will be treated the same.
