We all can agree that business is happening at lightning speed and we live in a microwave environment where demands of our time and attention are instantaneously and at an all time high. When was the last time you can remember having a leisurely lunch or coffee with a friend without feeling rushed or guilty for carving out an extra hour to put the world on hold…to enjoy an authentic conversation with a friend or colleague? Trust me, this sacred time can be as enjoyable and renewing as a Sunday afternoon nap or glass of ice cold lemonade on a parched day.

As we approach the NOAA tradeshow (November 8th), I encourage you to prioritize your time in a way that you can truly enjoy your time with our industry partners. Notice I didn’t use the word, “vendors.” In my opinion a “vendor,” implies that someone is here to sell me something. A “partner” implies that we are in this

together - our success is tied to each other. There is power in partnerships and a true partnership represents a relationship built on friendship and trust.

Warren Bennis and Bert Nanus are the pioneer researchers on “transactional” and “transformational” leadership. When it comes to vendors vs. partners, I conclude that a vendor relationship is much more transactional in nature whereas an industry partner evolves over time and is much more transformational. In fact, we DO make each other better, more successful and in the long run, more profitable. In reflecting over thirty years in the industry, I’ve developed lifelong friendships through these industry partnerships. I’m quick to share in my seminars that the investment you make in establishing relationships early in your career can pay huge dividends. For example, you don’t need to try to form a relationship with an attorney the minute you need one!

Susan Scott, author of fierce conversations, reminds us that relationships are formed one conversation at a time. Whether you are new to the apartment industry or a seasoned professional, you probably have these “go-to” people in your life that you call on for a quick answer, reference or referral. It’s never too late to make partnerships a priority. I always use events like our industry trade-show as a time to “net-weave” (my word for network), to say thank-you to those people that are my partners and to use it as a time to identify new sources of information and solutions for some of my most pressing challenges.

It's a great time to practice “turtle management” to stick our neck out and get out of our shell and enjoy a time of fact finding, fellowship and forward thinking. What better time to do this than

when everyone is assembled in one place? Throughout this article, I’ve used the word “time” with intentionality as I have the privilege of leading us through a fun and informative workshop on time management prior to the trade show.

Time is one of the most valuable commodities that we have. It’s more valuable than money. You can make more money, but you cannot make more time. Time is not only an extremely valuable resource, but also quite unusual. It can’t be stored, recycled, stopped or transformed. Once it is lost, it’s gone forever.

Imagine every morning a bank deposits $86,400 into your account. That money is yours to use anyway you like. The only catch is that at the end of the day, whatever you don’t use, you lose. It’s take out of your account. That would get your attention! You would be focused, and not let one penny go to waste. Why? Because it’s valuable. It’s the same principle with time, every day each of us is given 86,400 seconds. You can spend this time any way you like. You can either waste it or you can invest it. But the principle is the same, at the end of the 24 hours, it goes away.

When you woke up this morning, you were given a gift. If you are reading this article, you have the gift of sight, comprehension and focused attention. Today represents a gift - a new opportunity for you to learn, to grow, to give of your talents. Make the most of your day. Things may not be perfect, remember you can never get this day back. Be intentional with your time and realize the way you spend your time is the way you are spending your life. Are you going to spend your time worried, negative and defeated OR are you going to be positive, develop your talents, pursue your goals, be happy and live your day to its fullest? You are not here by accident, you have unique gifts and talents that the world is waiting on. You have a purpose. Discover prosperity through partnerships and enjoy your time together.

Dr. Debbie Phillips, CPM® is an industry thought leader with more than 30 years of experience in the apartment industry. Debbie is nationally recognized as an educator, speaker, author and career coach. Join Debbie for her seminar at the NOAA Trade Show on Thursday, November 8th from 9:00 – 11:00 AM at the Holiday Inn Rockside, Independence, OH.

In most states it is necessary to have a Real Estate Brokers License to manage apartment communities that you do not own. This is true in the State of Ohio. That is to say if you are managing a property you do not own in Ohio, you and/or your management company must be a Licensed Real Estate Broker in Ohio. If you are unsure how this relates to you, your management company and properties managed, I recommend that you discuss this with your attorney.

Ohio Revised Code (ORC) § 4735 and Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) § 1301:5 are the places to look for the real estate brokerage law and its administrative requirements. Updates to 4735 became effective in April 2017; updates to 1301:5 are working their way through the system and at this writing have not yet been published. Changes to the ORC were for the most part a result of what has become known as House Bill 532 (HB 532). The same action that created the changes which became effective in April 2017 also provided for the Ohio Division of Real Estate (ODR) to review Ohio Property Management Law and make recommendations for necessary changes to existing law.

Since the implementation of HB 532 each brokerage must designate a principle broker who is responsible for all actions of the brokerage. The principal broker must oversee and direct operations of the brokerage. While the principal broker can assign duties required by ORC 4735 to a management level licensee, the principle broker has the ultimate responsibility to ensure the brokerage complies with the law’s requirements. A principal broker can be disciplined by the ODR for failing to personally oversee and direct operations. Agents can be disciplined for acting as a broker without authority and for impeding the ability of the principal broker or management level licensee from performing their duties.

A real estate brokerage must have a definite place of business in Ohio with a physical address and a sign. The brokerage must prominently display the brokerage license in the brokerage office along with both the Ohio Fair Housing Poster (8.5”X11”) and the Federal Fair Housing Poster (11”X14”). The brokerage office must also have Fair Housing pamphlets with ODR mandated language.

ORC 4735 requires that all advertising must have broker identification on all advertisements. Advertising is any manner, method, or activity whereby the licensee makes known to the public a service requiring a license or a property is available for sale or lease. No name in the advertising may be more prominent than the broker’s name. Websites and internet advertising must have the brokerage name on every page and must be updated every 14 days. The prominence rule also applies to websites and internet advertising. Social Media is advertising if you market your services, listings (available apartments in our case) or brokerage.

ODR 4735 and OAC 1301:5 dictate that licenses must be renewed every three years on the licensee’s birthday. Continuing Education (CE) of 30 hours of approved classes must be submitted to renew any Ohio real estate license. Within this 30 hours each licensee must complete separate 3 hour classes specially certified by the ODR in law, ethics and Fair Housing. Principal brokers must also complete as part of the 30 hour CE requirement an additional 3 hour class which is approved by the ODR for duties of the principal broker.

In the second paragraph I mentioned that the ODR is reviewing Ohio Property Management Law. This is being done by the Property Management Task Force (PMTF), a group appointed by the ODR. The PMTF has been meeting almost monthly for over a year and is expected to make its recommendations formally known to the ODR in the near future. Once the recommendations of the PMTF are formally submitted NOAA will publish another article in Suites advising you of what may be taking place with regard to Ohio Property Management Law.
