INTRODUCING...OUR MINI-CONVENTION SPEAKERS !!
By Lori Lasday, CRB, CRS, GRI
I am delighted to present a glimpse of the line- up for our upcoming Mini-convention, January 22, 1998. This will be a fantastic event. Your committee is hard at work to make sure the North Shore Board of REALTORS7 presents the best convention ever! John A. Hamilton, DREI, has been chosen as our keynote speaker. I had the opportunity to recently hear John Hamilton as a keynote speaker recently at a real estate educators conference in Scottsdale, Arizona. John is a dynamic speaker and has a talent for capturing the attention of the audience immediately and guarantees entertainment along the way. I am sure you will enjoy his keynote address and you=ll be happy you planned to kick off 1998 with our mini-convention...
John A. Hamilton, DREI, has been licensed in real estate for over 30 years and has experience in sales, office management and appraising. He is the Regional Director for Polley Associates, Pennsylvania=s largest real estate school.

Lynn will be sharing timely news about the environment in which we live and breathe. Terri will be presenting ideas to maintain & increase production levels with quality strategic marketing programs.
The day=s events are shaping up to be the best mini-convention ever!! Don=t miss this one! More to come next month as the planning continues...
Yes, Eliminate the Deerfield Toll Plaza...
The Illinois Toll Highway Authority announced at a closed meeting of the business community and local government representatives that the best solution to the access problem to the Edens Spur would be to ELIMINATE THE DEERFIELD TOLL PLAZA.
Ramp collection points will be added to and from the north at Willow and Golf Roads and from the north at Lake Cook Road. As planned, there will be a Toll Collection Plaza added to the Edens Spur near Huehl Road. This Plaza will have the I-Pass system installed for collections of tolls. All new collection points and the Waukegan Plaza will have a 50 cent toll.
The new arrangement is the result of close cooperation with the Villages of Northbrook and Deerfield, the TMA of Lake Cook and area businesses. The negative traffic impact and the costly alternatives associated with the widening of the Deerfield Plaza are now a moot point.

Mandatory Fair Housing Brochures
The Board wishes to remind you that if you do business in Wilmette or in Evanston, you must
distribute Fair Housing brochures.
Wilmette requires real estate agents to notify prospective purchasers and lessees, in writing, of the Wilmette fair housing laws. This can be accomplished by handing out the Wilmette brochure or any other form of writing in 12 point type or larger that informs homebuyers that the Village Fair Housing ordinance prohibits discrimination in real estate transactions based on race, color, age, religion, disability, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge status, source of income or housing status. Homebuyers must also be referred to the Village Attorney to make a complaint or to obtain additional information. The brochure is available on the first floor of the Wilmette Village Hall.
Evanston requires that you distribute their Fair Housing brochure which is available at the Evanston Civic Center, 2100
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD,
NICHOLAS MARINO, GRI
Where does the time go??
It is hard to believe that twelve months have gone by so quickly and my term of office is almost over. I am deeply honored to have served as your Chairman of the Board and I can look back with great pride at the many accomplishments of the North Shore Board of REALTORS7 these past few years.
While many REALTOR7 Boards through out the country have been struggling these past years, the North Shore Board of REALTORS7 has excelled by continuing to offer its members advancements in benefits, opportunities, training and technology, all of the ingredients to make the REALTOR7 member more productive, profitable and professional. Just about anything and everything can be obtained through member services, thus proving that the NSBR members are receiving the absolute most for their membership dollar. I am exceedingly confidant that the NSBR will remain in the future, just as it has in the past, a most prestigious organization and the envy of other REALTOR7 associations.
This past year has been interesting and exciting. I have greatly benefited from the many new friends made through out my Board travels and the countless old friendships that have been rekindled along the way. The constant exchange of thoughts and ideas from all of the networking is an education benefit in itself. All is greatly appreciated and will be pleasant memories for me for years to come.
I would like to take this opportunity to say A THANK YOU to everyone who has been involved in Board activities, from our very competent, caring and dedicated NSBR staff to all of those professional REALTORS who have served as Officers, Directors, Committee Chairmen and members. Your unlimited energy, efforts and dedication is what makes us A#1".
Thank You for all the pleasant memories !!!
Best Regards,
NICK
It's the ruleAs the business of real estate swirls in the sea of change what emerges at times is a creative or alternative style of offering real estate services. As long standing members in the real estate association continue to offer long standing, established services and fees for service, new companies offer substantially lower services and fees. That is free enterprise!
This is not a time to over react, but a time to self analyze the services you provide and communicate why your fees maybe more, but this is what you provide for those fees.
Some critical areas to remember are the antitrust laws. The purpose of the antitrust laws is to protect competitions and prevent monopolies. Real estate and housing issues are a vital concern of government at all le3els. This means that the real estate brokerage business is under constant scrutiny, and any anticompetitive conduct is likely to be detected and prosecuted.
"Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade…is hereby declared illegal" is the Sherman Act. For a violation, there must be a contract, combination, or conspiracy that restrains trade. The conspiracy element is satisfied whenever two or more entities carry out a common scheme or plan. If adherence to a common scheme or plan can be shown, the only remaining issue is whether or not the effect of the scheme or plan is to restrain trade. There are tow per se restraints that are of vital concern to real estate brokers; conspiracies to fix prices, such as real estate commissions and group boycotts.
Example of conspiracy to fix prices is two brokers from two different firms discuss changing their fees. Example of group boycott is two or more brokers from two or more firms agree to no longer run ads in a newspaper.
A series of US Department of Justices consent decrees enjoined defendants from the following activities regarding the sale, lease or management of real estate:
Urging, recommending, or suggesting that any person adhere to any schedule or other recommendation concerning the rate or amount of commissions or fees
Adopting, suggesting, publishing, or distributing any schedule or other recommendation concerning the rate or amount of commissions or fees
Taking any punitive action against any person based on that person’s failure or refusal to adhere to any schedule or other recommendation concerning the rate or amount of commission or fees
Fixing, maintaining, suggesting, or enforcing any percentage division of commissions between the selling and listing broker.
Establishing, maintaining, or enforcing any fees for membership in the Board or MLS which are not related to the approximate cost of maintaining the organization as a growing concern
These rules are not just for the broker but everyone related to the real estate business. You are each independent business and each offer special services in relation to the fees you charge. Concentrate you time on communicating your worth!
Landmark CMA Publisher update
Anyone who is using Landmark CMA should have gotten an MLS Interface NIR V. 1.2 disk. This is an update that makes the CMA program work with the new listing input sheets. An example of a change is that property type 1 has the field: subdivision (sub) Property type 2 used to have a comparable field: complex (cpx) now property type 2 is subdivision also. This change renders the old CMA program worthless. So install the new interface disk or call MLSNI (630) 955-0011 to get your copy.
Note: You must be using version 1.2.11 of Landmark CMA to use the new interface disk. To check the version of your software do this… Start CMA publisher as normal. Then click on Help in the menu and then click About Landmark CMA Publisher. If the dialog box does NOT say version 1.2.11 then call Moore (800) 347-6367.
I have used the new interface disk and it works OK. However there are likely to be some changes made when you do the upgrade. The changes to watch concern the communication setup, found under the Options menu in Landmark CMA.
Before you do the install open CMA and click on Options then Communication setup. Note the following… Modem speed, Flow Control Xon/Xoff, Modem setup (what brand modem). You will probably have to re-input your Security Agent code e.g. 33442 and Password: e.g. realtor1. The rest of the box should NOT change but be careful.
No-name clones
Another warning. I had a member of the board in last month with a one year old laptop computer. It was a bargain so this REALTOR thought. Some problems developed and the computer company doesn’t exist anymore. All the hardware was no-name junk and all but useless now. I can’t recommend strongly against no-name equipment.
Time to buy a new computer?
It really is a great time to buy a new computer. Intel for the first time ever has some chip competition from AMD and Cyrix chip makers. So… Intel has slashed prices for pentium chips. That includes regular pentiums and MMX pentiums. The newest flavor, pentium II is the only thing Intel cares about and so they are dumping all their other chips. Computer makers don’t want to get caught with "old" pentiums so they are in a sale mode. Make no mistake, regular pentium chips are great. The acrobatics that a pentium II can perform are marginally better. So take advantage of great prices. I would however urge caution buying junk like: IBM, Compaq, Packard Bell, AST. If you want to buy locally try Hewlett Packard only. I have not seen a problem with any Hewlett Packards. Mail order is of course much better i.e. Gateway, Micron and Dell.
Realtor.com update
The REALTOR.COM web site is humming along. Yes, there have been some problems but they have been very responsive to my inquiries. I think this will be a good vehicle for Realtors to advertise themselves to the public. The vast majority of MLS’ in the country plan to sign up with REALTOR.COM and the public is going to look to this site for their real estate needs. The links to REALTOR home pages seems to be working just fine. Inventory of properties is good also. So call the board if you are interested in getting your own home page on REALTOR.COM.
User manuals for Landmark products
If you want a user manual for Landmark Connect or Landmark CMA Publisher you must request it when you order your software. This is obnoxious but that is the way MLSNI is handling the situation. On the order form there is NO place to indicate that you do indeed want a user manual. So write on the fax form somewhere that you want a user manual for each program that you order.
REALTOR.COM and CLASSIFIEDS2000 Announce Alliance for Expanded Online Access to Property Listings
Classifieds2000 and REALTOR.COM Alliance Delivers the Most Comprehensive
Real Estate Information to More than Eighty Leading Destination Web Sites
San Francisco, CA - July 24, 1997 REALTOR.COM, the No. 1 real estate site on the Internet, and Classifieds2000, the leading network of classified advertising content and distribution on the Internet, announced a strategic agreement to distribute REALTOR.COM property ads throughout the Classifieds2000 Network.
The Classifieds2000 Network distributes and extensive database of classified advertising on more than 80 leading Internet sites, including major search sites Excite, Lycos, InfoSeek and Webcrawler, and the Internet home pages of AT&T WorldNet, Concentric Network MindSpring, Netcom and WebTV. Classifieds2000 Network will point to the property ads on REALTOR.COM as its content provider for home sales related information.
The addition of REALTOR.COM=s listings to the Classifieds2000 Network gives buyers easy access to nearly every home for sale in their selected area, and provides increased exposure of REALTORS7 property ads to consumers trying to locate home buying information on the Internet.
As with previous partnerships, the real property ad information remains on the REALTOR.COM site-thus maintaining REALTOR7 control of the property data, advertising guidelines, and other important controls already in place on REALTOR.COM.
REALTOR.COM is the largest real estate site on the Internet and services consumers and REALTORS7 with the most extensive and up to date home buying information. Over 1 million consumers currently view of 19 million homes monthly on REALTOR.COM.

What Did We Get? We Got A Lot!
While the bill language is just now becoming available, we know there are a lot of goodies in the final package. The biggest goodie is a meaningful capital gains tax cut. After all, the real estate industry received tax cuts, while other industries got tax hikes. Among the gems: A $500,000 exclusion ($250,000 for singles) on sales of principal residences after May 6, 1997; the capital gains tax rate reduced from 28 percent to 20 percent, with depreciation recapture at 25 percent for sales of exchanges after May 6, 1997; after 2000, some properties held for five years or more will qualify for an 18 percent capital gains rate. Other good things: expanded rules for Individual Retirement Accounts and 401(k) plans to allow penalty-free withdrawals for first-time buyers; a gradual increase in the estate tax exemption from $600,000 to $1 million, and to $1.3 million for qualifying small businesses and family farms; clarification of home office deduction rules; a promise to increase to 100 percent the deductibility of health insurance premiums for the self employed.
