By DEBBIE Z -2016 GMAR President
It is with great pride that I take the reins as President of the Greater Metropolitan Association of
REALTORS®. I am filling some pretty big shoes as I follow in the footsteps of Past Presidents Kathy Coon, Tony Schippa, Bart Patterson, Maureen Francis, and Frank Tarala. Observing their leadership as a Board Member for the past 3 years has been awe inspiring. I have learned much from this team and am prepared to rise above all the challenges 2016 has to offer.
I believe our biggest challenge is involving you, our valued member! I invite you to contact us to see where you can get involved. Consider attending a class, join a committee, sit in on a presentation, or enjoy one of our social events. You will find likeminded people looking to stay connected to their colleagues in this ever-changing real estate profession.
We’re adding to our already top-notch educational opportunities. Our Affiliate Committee, known for bringing cutting edge, timely, and FREE education to our members, has added a course on title/legal Issues that was presented to a full house this past December. A revamped version rolls out this year! Inspection, warranty, and appraisal issue classes are in the works; as well as hands-on social media courses covering Twitter, Facebook Business, Instagram, and more! This group of dedicated Affiliates knows how important education is and is thinking outside the box to bring innovative topics to our members! Even if you already receive superb training from your broker, we have great supplemental training to take advantage of. Also, GMAR participates in Michigan Realtor’s CE Marketplace, so any approved con-ed will be recorded for you! Log in to check out our classes »
We are excited about Realcomp joining the Great Lakes Repository (GLR)! As I’m sure you’re well aware, this has been in the works for several years, and your GMAR team helped make this a reality! The target date for “flipping
the switch” is March 1, 2016. I am thrilled to be able to get complete information through one point of entry, and the cost savings is a bonus. Great job team!
NAR rolled out Professional Standard requirements in 2015. GMAR was one of the first Associations to meet all of the requirements. We have added two ombudsmen to our team. REALTORS® and the public can start here when there are pro standards and ethics concerns.
Having served as the Women’s Council of REALTORS® Local Chapter President, State Governor, State President, and Regional Vice President, I bring a fresh perspective, and new ideas to the table. As an Association, we must embrace all of our members through personal outreach. It is important that you, our members, are aware of the excellent opportunities that are available. We are here to educate you through quality course work to improve your skills, and grow your business. Get on board. We’re going places!
I am super honored to serve as your 2016 President. My plan: hard work plus dedication equals success. Get involved, make a suggestion, or just touch base. Call or text me, Debbie “Z”, 2016 GMAR President, at 248-613-7253.
Rising to the Challenge of 2016

By DUANE MARSHChief Executive Officer
Building on a Solid 2015
2015 was a robust year for real estate. 2016 promises to maintain the momentum. It is necessary that
you continually re-think your strategic positioning to ensure that you are constantly in sync with market conditions. One tool to help maintain your competitive advantage is through branding.
Branding is an impression you want to have readily recognized by current and potential clients. It differentiates you. An article in The Marketing Donut entitled How to Build a Brand suggests possible ways to establish your uniqueness.
• Determine the attributes, qualities, traits, personal and professional experiences your customers recognize and you want them to recognize.
• Don’t fool your clients. If you say you are something, make sure you are. Clients can determine if what you are saying is just words or identifiable actions.
• Include all facets of your business in your branding. Do you have affiliations? Do you view yourself as a regional or mostly a local agent? Are you a niche or broader marketer?
• Be consistent in your brand messaging. Make it simple and memorable.
• Develop a distinctive, visual brand. It should reflect your persona and tap into who you really are. You will need to find ways to give clients and potentials clients an on-going visual image of your brand.
• Your brand needs to be present in everything you do, print, and say.
• Unique and successful brands may need to be trademarked.
• Your brand is always “on stage.” It is reflected by what you say, the way you are dressed, and the way you carry yourself.
Patrick Barwise and Sean Meehan in the Harvard Business Review write, “As usual marketers are turning hype into hyperventilation. This time it’s about the supposed end of marketing as we know it, thanks to the rise of social media and the shift of power to consumers. But it’s wrong to think we’re entering a world in which traditional marketing activities, and brands themselves, will become irrelevant. In fact, the opposite is true. Social media make it more urgent than ever that companies get the basics right, developing and reliably delivering on a compelling brand promise.”
They conclude, “The companies that will succeed in this environment are exploiting the many opportunities presented by social media while keeping an unwavering eye on their brand promise, and they are judiciously revising the marketing playbook rather than trying to rewrite it.”
In today’s marketplace you need a lender you know you can count on.
Wi th IMPROVING MARKETSand NEW, LOWER RATES, be sure
you ta lk to A PROFESSIONAL.
Given today’s financial landscape, it’s more important than ever to trust your business to a professional. One of the many good reasons to talk to Linda December. Closing loans for over 25 years, she has the knowledge and experience to provide the right mortgage solution that will work for everyone. In addition she has Ross Mortgage Corporation supporting her; successfully opening doors since 1949.

Legislative Wrap-Up
20 | Metropolitan REALTOR®
Throughout the year, Michigan Realtors® has worked diligently with legislators in both the House and the Senate to develop and pass legislation for the benefit of the real estate industry in Michigan. While playing both offense and defense on specific legislation doesn’t always result in new state law, your voice at the Capitol remains active and effective. In 2015, Michigan Realtors® was able to leave its imprint on several pieces of legislation. Some of these bills became law and some of them, thankfully, did not. Below is an overview of some of your Association’s legislative accomplishments for 2015:
Legislation signed Into Law:Tax Records:
House Bill 4075, now Public Act 39 of 2015, keeps the cost of access to tax record data reasonable. REALTORS® know better than anyone that access to basic public information relating to property tax records is important for the daily operation of those working within the real estate industry. We truly thank Representative Bruce Rendon (R-Lake City) for his sponsorship of this bill.
Road Funding:Michigan Realtors® was part of a coalition of businesses
and local governments aimed at identifying and safeguarding a sustainable funding source for the repair and maintenance of Michigan’s roads. Through the work of the coalition and the diligence of the Michigan Legislature, Governor Snyder signed into law a $1.2 billion dollar investment in safer and better roads for Michigan. The plan takes $600 million from the General fund. In addition, it creates new revenue with:
• An increase in the gas tax by 7.3 cents, taking it to 26.3 cents per gallon. Diesel tax, which is currently at 15 cents per gallon, will match the gas tax at 26.3 cents. This change is projected to bring in $400 million.
• Registration fees will increase by about 20% across the board, which is projected to bring in another $200 million. These changes will take effect in January of 2017.
This plan will be completely phased in by 2021, which by that time, the plan will have its full $1.2 billion amount.
Transfer Tax Updates:House Bill 4173, now Public Act 217 of 2015, sponsored by
Realtor®-member and Representative Dave Maturen (R-Brady Twp.) will revise the Michigan Real Estate Transfer Tax to clarify two items:
1. The party that paid the transfer tax may request the refund if a refund is due, and
2. Clarify that Exemption “U” applies when the SEV at the time of sale is less than or equal to the original SEV.
The Michigan Supreme Court recently broadened the application of Exemption “U” by removing the requirement that True Cash Value be realized in a transfer. The legislation reflects this change, offering important clarity and tax relief to distressed sellers. In addition, this bill gives buyers the same refund rights as sellers when it is determined that the transfer tax was paid unnecessarily.
The application and refund process can be found here.
Legislation in process Tax Tribunal Reform:
Michigan Realtors® was successful in protecting the Appraiser position on the Michigan Tax Tribunal, while continuing to work positively with stakeholders towards improvements to Michigan’s tax appeal process.
Taxation of Big Box Retailers:Michigan Realtors® was an active opponent of legislation
aimed at limiting the rights of commercial property owners to challenge their property taxes and assessment. While the debate over Big Box taxation continues, the Michigan Realtors® was successful in making sure the dialogue continues with all perspectives present.
Continuing Education Enhancements:Legislation streamlining and creating efficiencies in
Michigan’s real estate regulations continues to be worked on in the Senate. The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, or LARA, is proposing several changes to the administrative rules governing real estate brokers and salespersons. The Department has identified several rules that are either in conflict with the statue, already provided for in law, or exceed their authority. As such, they are looking to eliminate the bulk of these rules and move others into statue to specifically give them the authority to enforce. Michigan Realtors® has formed a task force to look at these specific issues and hopes to address the various concerns in 2016.
Solicitation of Publicly Recorded DocumentsWe have worked cooperatively with Senator Curtis Hertel
(D-East Lansing) on Senate Bill 366, aimed at curtailing an abusive and deceptive practice of soliciting individuals by

mail on the need for readily available (but not mandatory) public documents. This legislation would put an end to communications indicating a requirement that you secure a copy of your deed at an exorbitant amount. Real estate licensees, however, would be exempted from the regulation. This bill has passed unanimously in the Senate, and is awaiting a hearing in the House Commerce and Trade committee.
Principal Residence Exemption on REOsSenate Bill 81, introduced by Senator Jack Brandenburg
(R-Harrison Twp) would allow lenders to keep the Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) on properties they take back into inventory after foreclosure. The PRE will allow prospective buyers to qualify for financing at the lower tax rate and begin paying the lower taxes immediately upon moving into the home.
This bill attempts to address the current process whereby banks are required to file paperwork to retain the PRE while paying a new specific tax to make up for the non-homestead mills. This bill passed the Senate this year and is in the House of Representatives awaiting a vote.
AnnexationHouse Bill 4004, sponsored by Representative Kurt
Heise (R-Plymouth) effectively grants a township board an absolute veto of annexation elections. HB 4004 exempts charter townships from annexation, prevents property owners and voters from initiating changes to municipal boundaries and prevents/discourages consolidation of local government administration and its services. This bill is a reintroduction of prior legislation to address past hostile annexation efforts. This was introduced with the unfortunate case between Northville Township and Livonia (2006 – 2008) in mind. As longtime stakeholders in this discussion, Michigan Realtors® has worked with the Michigan Municipal League (MML) and the Michigan Homebuilders Association to craft various compromises to address scenarios like the one that transpired in Northville Township.
Currently, the Michigan Realtors®, Homebuilders, and MML are well aligned in opposition. We continue to keep lines of communication open and are prepared to actively oppose HB 4004 should it continue through the legislative process in 2016.
As always, we will continue to keep you updated on all issues and policies that impact the real estate industry in 2016. From all of us at the Michigan Realtors®, Happy Holidays!

Title Insurance is an integral part of the real estate transaction. It provides a certainty of property ownership to home buyers and to lenders. The insurance process serves to resolve many title issues that may exist on a specific piece of real estate. This process clears issues so the buyer can be assured that they own the real estate that they purchased.
This process is not always exact. Sometimes there are issues that are non-discoverable. Sometimes issues can’t be completely resolved and the title company agrees to insure based on risk analysis factors. And then there are those issues that were just really never covered to begin with by the basic insurance policy.
The Enhanced Title Policy is a product that provides more coverage to the Buyer. Yes, this coverage is more expensive. At $100,000 coverage the increase is about 9% or about $65.00 more. This product has been around for a while. This policy provides the following coverages/benefits:
• Post Policy Forgeries, Encroachments, Adverse Possession and easements by use.
• Building Permit and Zoning violations and Restrictive Covenants
• Access to the property by both vehicles and pedestrian
• Boundary line encroachments and set-back line violations
• Continuous coverage
• Automatic coverage increases to reflect the increased value of the property
• Estate Planning provisions to assure continued coverage in the Trust and Trustee
These coverages and benefits are not provided in the standard Owner’s Policy. There are some limitations to some of these added coverages and some deductibles will apply. Overall this is a product that provides the best coverage for the Buyer. It also has a really nice feature that allows the coverage amount to increase. So as the property increases in value so does the coverage amount. If a claim does occur this increased amount of coverage can go a long way toward covering losses down the road.
Realtors® looking to provide their clients with the best coverages they can get should take some time to familiarize themselves with this insurance product. The more coverage your clients can get the less amount of issues can get between you and your client. A happy client is a referral and repeat business source. I would encourage you to get with your title insurance provider to review this product with you and your office. When it comes to title insurance coverage – MORE is BETTER!
