In 2015, HAR will continue to provide programming, networking and encouragement to young professionals in the REALTOR® Community. HAR’s Next Realtor Generation, (NRG) continues to provide energy to the association through its community service, networking and professional development and was recognized in 2010 by NAR as the Best Young Professional Network chapter in the country and in 2012 received the Golden Hammer Award for its community service day. The HAR NRG 20 Under 40 program recognizes the incredible talents and energy of members, helping HAR to remain connected, involved and relevant to this growing demographic.

HAR’s Member Services staff is available to assist members when they are busiest, on weekends, from 10am – 2pm via online chat. In response to member demand we have added weekend orientation for new members on a monthly basis. To maximize the opportunity to serve the membership, we also now offer basic MLS Training concurrently with the weekend orientation. HAR is fortunate to have such an experienced and dedicated member service team, under the direction of Membership Manager Cynthia Williams, who celebrated 36 years of service in 2014.

HAR represents nearly one third of the REALTOR members in the state of Texas. As the leading local association in the country, it benefits our members to have consistent representation at the state level and national levels. In 2015, HAR will continue to promote and support HAR members for leadership positions at TAR and NAR.

Meetings and Events Through superior programming the HAR Meetings and Events Department strives to offer exceptional opportunities to members by sharing timely and relevant information beneficial to their career success.

Under the direction of Lori Carper, HAR’s signature event, the BIG e, features an action packed day of educational sessions with national speakers covering topics of interest to both agents and brokerages such as social media, technology tools, increased productivity and profitability, risk management and work life balance.

REALTOR Celebration is our way to thank board members and officers for their year of service to the membership. This annual event is also where we install the newly elected HAR Board of Directors and recognize our two most prestigious awards: REALTOR of the Year, which recognizes a member who best personifies the REALTOR in spirit, ethics and professionalism and the John E. Wolf Community Service Award. This award is given to a member who has made outstanding contributions to the community, mainly outside of the real estate industry.

HAR’s Leadership Orientation is an annual program designed to bring newly elected board members and appointed advisory group leaders together for an industry update as well as to explain their duties as an HAR leader.

HAR’s Past Presidents Advisory Group meets annually to honor the service of past HAR leaders while also serving as a means of keeping these influential visionaries active and involved with the progress of the association. The HAR Strategic Planning conference brings the insights of nationally recognized industry experts to the HAR Board of Directors and senior staff for a dynamic two day session. The format provides the opportunity for intensive discussions on the future of the industry and as well as a collaborative evaluation of opportunities to deliver greater value to members.

The HAR Events team also takes charge of adhoc events and creates the perfect atmosphere for honorees and those in attendance.

International In 2014, the HAR International Advisory Group, under the leadership of Lori Carper, received the NAR Global Achievement Program Platinum Award. This prestigious recognition spotlights HAR efforts to promote global and multicultural real estate business opportunities throughout the Houston Market.

In 2015, HAR will continue to identify and develop relationships with local institutions of higher learning, successful international companies, chambers of commerce and foreign consulates as well as provide specialized programming designed to educate members on how to conduct business internationally. With Houston and the surrounding areas growing fast, the Houston region is now more diverse than NYC. Be sure to take advantage of the HAR global real estate programs such as the CIPS Institute, Around the World in 60 Minutes luncheon meetings and other international courses in 2015.

Communications Under the direction of Matt Burrus, HAR’s 2015 Member Marketing and Communications initiatives will continue to develop messaging and communications channels that will most effectively convey the Association’s benefits to members, the members’ benefits to consumers and the HAR.com benefits to both. The launch of the statewide HAR.com means that these goals, which had previously been more targeted to Houston will now spread across the state of Texas.to identify, employ and validate those communications practices that will effectively build powerful relationships, help members build trust and respect for each other, the public and the Association. They will also foster learning, accomplish common goals and facilitate the understanding necessary to make decisions for effective change.

Always trying to stay on the cutting edge of advertising, HAR engaged in a pilot program of a new way to purchase online advertising (HAR ads being shown on other sites) through Hearst Digital Media. Typically, an advertiser looks at its target demographic and purchases advertising on sites that most closely mirror that target. The new method that we employed targets the Internet visitor instead of the site. Whereas our ads used to be shown on perhaps 15 sites that we specially purchased, our ads in 2014 were displayed on literally 1,300 sites that were visited by consumers that matched our target demographic. This proved to be very effective, and we will likely expand from the pilot project to move more of the existing online ad budget to this method of ad buying.

Public relations, or “earned media,” also continued to play an enormously valuable role in our messaging to consumers. Whether it was market updates or announcing the statewide initiative or encouraging consumers to use a REALTOR to help avoid fraudulent scams, HAR’s public relations efforts were seen across all media outlets, including local, state, national and international publications that appear online and in print. It is our goal to make sure the REALTOR brand is continually seen by the public whether through advertising or public relations.

In addition to our Five Minute REALTOR newsletter, which links back to our HARConnect.com communications hub, we also have The Edge, which is probably the most effective communications product and is used by sales managers and brokers during their weekly sales meetings. We engaged in a review of the content that we used in The Edge and tried to boost the product to be even more useful and relevant. Since implementing the results of that review, our statistics show a marked increase in the use of the communications product.

HAR’s Communications team also manages all advertising and sponsorship agreements for events, publications and HAR.com. Revenues for 2014 were higher thanks to both increased traffic on HAR.com and the continuing strength in the local economy. With a recent change to how our ads are delivered and utilizing optimization tools, we will look for an even greater return in 2015.

As with all issues, whether local, state or national such as the Mortgage Interest Deduction, REALTOR® Safety, taxes on real estate commissions or local vs. national market conditions, HAR must work to present the most timely and effective communication of our REALTOR® position to governmental agencies, elected officials and consumers. It is vital that we monitor, analyze and leverage effective communication strategies to positively influence these critical issues. We have engaged with consumers through the HAR Consumer Research Panel and have begun using the newly-developed, weekly HARtbeat newsletter to provide real estate and economic news of interest to consumers. When there is a need to utilize that communications channel for public advocacy efforts, then it will allow us to broaden our strength beyond just our membership ranks into the homeowner ranks as well.

Professional Development In 2015, HAR’s Professional Development Program, guided by Rita Klein Blevins will again offer the most popular designation courses such as CRS, GRI, ABR, CIPS, BPOR, CNE, ePro, CSSN, SRES, TAHS, RSPS and the NAR Green designation.

The immensely popular Management Central series continues to produce the highest quality, most well-attended networking and training opportunities for members with topics ranging from Broker Profitability, Risk Management, Contracts and Consumer Preferences.

In 2014, HAR’s Professional Development team was once again recognized by TAR for Outstanding Programming. The HAR Social Media Pro (SMP) course, Management Central, “Legally Speaking Series” and “Around the World in 60 Minutes” each represent the best of class programming that has created an outstanding benefit for HAR members. A new agent boot camp course is being added in 2015.

Additionally, the Texas REALTORS Leadership Program by HAR continues to receive praise from members. Over 75% of the participants in the TRLP have returned to serve the membership through an HAR Advisory Group, a Task Force, the HAR Board of Directors or through the various Legacy Projects. Admission to the program is limited to full time real estate professionals and the bonds and camaraderie of each group will have a powerful, positive and lasting impact on the Association. Specifically, the H-Town program has become a highlight of the year, bringing together HAR leaders with business and political leaders from the entire community.

Governmental and Political Affairs

For all of its efforts, HAR is well respected and connected to local, state and national leaders to ensure that when decisions are made on the local level, they are made with consideration to the impact on REALTORS and the real estate economy.

With the conclusion of the November 4 Midterm Elections, HAR’s Governmental Affairs team is gearing up for the 2015 Texas Legislative session. HAR enjoyed numerous political wins during the election, and the relationships fostered during election season will serve to benefit our REALTORS and the real estate industry during the session’s activity. In addition to having local REALTOR leadership involved on numerous levels of TAR policy subcommittees, HAR Governmental Affairs staff is in constant contact with TAR’s legislative team as well as our local representatives and senators whom we have supported through TREPAC.

It’s never too early to begin planning and promoting REALTOR Lobby Day at the Texas Capitol, a day when thousands of Texas REALTORS take our industry message to the state Capitol building, meeting with legislators and their staff and delivering our legislative priorities. In 2015, that day is Tuesday, April 14, and HAR staff has already begun promoting a Save the Date message to our current committee volunteers and board directors. During the last legislative session, HAR had five buses leave from the Greater Houston area, filled will eager REALTOR advocates, and 2015 promises to be just as successful.

On the local level, HAR maintains an active presence in our largest REALTOR markets, having Political Affairs Advisory Group (PAAG) and Political Affairs Advisory Leadership (PAAL) volunteers throughout the Bay Area, Fort Bend, Harris and Montgomery County. In 2015, we will participate in five municipal elections throughout our service territory. Those municipal elections are: Houston City Council, Pearland City Council, Missouri City City Council, Sugar Land City Council and The Woodlands Township.

In addition to weighing in on the races, HAR Governmental Affairs team will continue our support of local issues of interest, just as we have in 2014. The City of Houston is revisiting the Historic Preservation Ordinance once again, and although committees have been meeting in 2014, the bulk of the advocacy work will be done during 2015. Our HAR Governmental Affairs Advisory Group (GAAG) has set a solid foundation with the planning committees for this issue and will continue our active participation in the discussions well in to the new year. In Montgomery County, HAR Governmental Affairs staff will continue our work with the local Montgomery County PAAL members regarding a much-needed amendment to the current sign ordinance. In 2014, our PAAL members spoke to current Woodlands Township Directors regarding our displeasure with the current ordinance and how it affects our ability to conduct business, and in 2015

we will use the support of our newly-elected fellow REALTOR, Commissioner Jim Clark, to make necessary changes.

2014 also brought closer scrutiny to the real estate industry from a governmental agency called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which was created under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. As the CFPB makes it way through various financial sectors and enforcing new, more stringent, guidelines with the ultimate goal of protecting the consumer’s financial well-being, their focus has moved to the closing process. In August 2015, the CFPB will implement the “Know Before You Owe” Rule (TILA-RESPA Final Rule), and the HAR Governmental Affairs team will continue educating both themselves and the REALTOR on how this and other measures implemented by the CFPB will affect the way REALTORS are able to conduct their business and protect their clients.

In addition to the CFPB, HAR’s Governmental Affairs staff and committee volunteers continuously keep abreast of federal policy that needs REALTOR support. Through our Call for Action industry notifications, REALTORS are able to deliver vital messages to our federally elected leaders, and our Federal Political Coordinators (FPCs) take that message further with individual communication given to each member of Congress. These FPCs each have personal relationships with the individual congressperson, which is fostered beginning in the election season and continues well in to the member’s representation in Washington. It is a very real message of how their actions affect their constituents at home.

TREPAC In 2014, HAR continued to reinforce the key message that TREPAC plays a vital role in the political process alongside issues advocacy and candidate recommendations.

Utilizing a Peer-to-Peer Approach to target major investors, in 2013 HAR began holding “Be One, Bring One” VIP events, capped by an evening at Tony’s which raised over $86,000 dollars. Expanded in 2014 to include the Lone Star and Capitol Club levels, $250 and 500 levels, under the leadership of Karen Driscoll, and with the assistance of the dedicated TREPAC trustees, HAR raised a record $801,997 in contributions.

HAR’s outstanding efforts were recognized at TAR for the most dollars raised in the state ($801,977), the second highest participation for Boards of 5,000 members or more with 51%, a TAR TREPAC Chairman’s special award for a 7% increase in participation and at the NAR Convention in New Orleans, HAR was recognized as one of the top three fundraiser in the country.

Branch Operations The 2015 budget reflects the consolidation of operations, staff, programs, and services for HAR’s three satellite locations, (Montgomery County, Fort Bend and Bay Area). Under the leadership of Rhonda Flowers, the HAR Branch office locations provide convenient access to HAR & HRIS services. A portion of the branch operating expense is allocated to HRIS.

The association owns the Fort Bend Office and maintains lease space for the Bay Area and Montgomery County branches. The Bay Area lease has been renewed at the current location for a new seven year term, while the new Montgomery County location, located 2.5 miles south of the current Portofino location will be fully operational in late December.

The rapid expansion of the north/northwest Houston real estate market, fueled in part by the relocation of Exxon Mobil and construction of the Grand Parkway has caused commercial rental rates to increase dramatically since 2007, resulting in higher occupancy cost for the new Montgomery County office. The new location will include the following major value additions:

• Signage on IH 45

• 100 seat auditorium, with separate entrance.

• Weekend access to the property

The final build out and move to the new location will occur later in December, and a grand opening reception is planned for early 2015.

Administration and Building

Controller Tracy Goodeaux and the accounting team prepare monthly financial statements for management review which are presented to the HAR Board of Directors by HAR’s Secretary/Treasurer at their regularly scheduled monthly meetings. The statements are also posted to the member’s only area of the website.

Each year, the association conducts a full financial audit, which includes an onsite, detailed review of the HAR and HRIS finances. The audit is conducted by a local independent CPA Firm, Harper & Pearson, in accordance with the Generally Accepted Audit Standards as promulgated by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The final audit results and any recommendations to management are presented directly to the HAR Budget and Finance Committee by a principal of the CPA firm. In 2014, HAR’s consolidated financial statements once again received a full, unqualified opinion by our outside independent CPA firm, which is the highest rating possible.

HAR’s internal Information Systems and Network Administration, under the watchful eye of Chief Systems Administrator Edward Moncur, covers over 125 personal computers, 43 server instances, a wide area network (WAN) for satellite offices, PBX system with IP enabled phones, local area networks (LAN) in each location, disaster recovery, 24 network appliances (firewalls, VPN’s, routers, switches) and over twenty printers.

In 2014, HAR continued reviewing multiple telephony options in anticipation of an upgrade to our phone system. Our existing system, purchased in 2003 and fully depreciated, is no longer in production which is making it increasingly difficult and expensive to acquire

replacement parts, upgrades and even routine maintenance. It is anticipated that a capital investment of $142,000, which was approved in 2013, will be made in 2015.

Houston REALTORS Information Service Multiple Listing Service (MLS), Data & Technology The Future of MLS continues to be discussed and debated with many experts predicting turmoil ahead. Fortunately, HAR’s MLS, Data & Technology initiatives have maintained a laser like focus on delivery of the technology and tools needed to keep members meeting the every changing expectations of consumers. HAR’s efforts have been recognized at the local, state and national levels for their outstanding value and service delivery. In 2015, HAR, through its wholly owned subsidiary, HRIS, will continue to enhance broker and agent profitability by providing a cost effective solution to facilitate the sale and lease of listed properties. For the twelfth consecutive year, HAR MLS subscription fees will remain unchanged for HAR members. In fact, since 1997, MLS fees have actually been reduced by $5 per month. Consider all that the HAR platform has to offer.

• MLS – TEMPO and FUSION SYSTEMS –Under the direction of Shawn Dauphine, HAR’s core MLS system, TEMPO, provides the ability to enter and search listings. TEMPO now works natively with Apple products such as the MacIntosh, iPad and iPhone, and also works with additional web browsers such as Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox. Fusion will continue to be available in parallel with TEMPO, featuring enhanced mapping tools and ASAP Listing auto notifications. The MLS system also includes training, evening and weekend technical support and provides the framework for cooperation and compensation between participants and subscribers which promote an efficient and orderly market.

• MLS – Public Records - Integrated seamlessly within the TEMPO system is also a public records database of all properties in the state of Texas. Provided by Corelogic, the Realist statewide tax system will include enhanced functionality as well as additional data sets such as foreclosures, distressed properties and off-market tax records that are not listed in the MLS.

• MLS - Data QA – Nathan Goble and the QA team work hard to make sure the data contained and displayed within the MLS are in compliance with all MLS rules and also provide valuable support to members needing assistance on data compliance issues.

• MLS – ETS Transaction Management - Transaction Management is provided to all brokerages with no ongoing support, data retention or per file transaction fees. A single

enrollment fee of $500 per firm ($350 for small firms) can improve broker profitability, risk management and agent recruitment, all while becoming more responsive to the evolving demands of consumers.

The intuitive user interface allows users to view search results in a grid view, map view or split screen displaying the map and grid. The grid gives users full control over column sorting, lumn reordering and adding/removing columns from grid results as well as the ability to select and narrow down search results. Users can print or email reports, export property records to Excel or create mailing labels.

Houston REALTORS Information Service Commercial Gateway Commercial Gateway, HAR’s Commercial Information Exchange (CIE) continues to thrive as the largest Realtor-Owned CIE, with over 1,500 broker/agent members. Commercial professionals from Houston’s largest and most recognized firms share information with smaller independent firms and all of them have come to rely on Commercial Gateway for timely, accurate researched information. Partnering with the Houston Business Journal, the Commercial Gateway team, led by Sam Scott, produces and publishes the Houston Office and Leasing Guides, which showcase our broader, deeper and more informative analytics. In 2012, Commercial Gateway’s primary vendor, ePropertydata (ePD), was acquired by Xceligent Inc. As a national platform, Xceligent offers a cost effective option to expand our members’ access to information about commercial properties across Houston and other markets of interest. Beginning in 2015, Commgate’s services offering will be expanded to include the full Xceligent suite including:

1) Comprehensive Market Research a. Xceligent will bring a fleet of over 20 drivers to Houston to canvas the entire inventory

of all Office, Industrial and Retail properties. This level of research exceeds the current Commercial Gateway research threshold which compile statistics on multi-tenant buildings larger than 20,000 sq.ft.

b. Tenant move-ins and move-outs will be tracked to provide a more detailed accounting for changing market conditions.

2) Property Search/Reports Gallery a. Comprehensive form driven search b. Print results or export to spreadsheet c. Can choose from over 50 report formats including Historical absorption, Rental Rates,

Brochures, Investment Listing Summary, Building Vacancy, etc. d. Ability to add cover page, listing notes, prepared by, date, footer, company logo,

road/aerial map

3) Map Search

a. Search for available properties by drawing a box, polygon, or radius on an area of the map.

b. Available number or listings changes dynamically as you move around the map or enter search criteria

4) Parcel Locator

a. Use aerial map to click on properties and view parcel boundary, owner name, Tax ID, taxes, availability and recent transactions

It is anticipated that Xceligent and Commercial Gateway will offer multiple service levels in the Houston area:

• CommercialSearch.com – CommGate is finalizing its participation in this national search site that will be operated in a manner similar to LoopNet’s older “Premium” business model, pay to have a listing seen by all, or pay to be able to search all listings. CommGate’s members will get special treatment bundled with their CIE membership.

• Commercial Gateway – Availability Search for members. Includes some local research data, including listed for lease and for sale properties.

• National CDX – Xceligent’s “National” researched service offering that includes complete access to researched data on all Xceligent markets across the nation

The 2015 Budget reflects a continued commitment to the success of HAR’s Commercial members. It is anticipated that CIE participation will remain consistent with prior years, provided however that as Xceligent’s other products are launched and adopted we may see some attrition as CIE customers migrate to the other products. The diminished membership will be offset by a revenue share back to HAR for CIE members who move to the new Xceligent services. HAR’s overall commercial service offering will be enhanced by integration with the Xceligent platform that will provide a basis for increased networking and recognition programs. Once the transition to the new platform is complete, it may be necessary to phase in a revised fee schedule that reflects the changing user mix as firms select service level best suited to their practice. Commercial Gateway will contend with alternative Xceligent services that are both lower and higher in price and service level; CommercialSearch.com will provide a less expensive, low service model while the Xceligent CDX will provide a more expensive national research platform at a premium price.
