Dear REALTORS®,

We are deep in the heart of the Flori-da summer and the weather isn’t the only thing that’s hot. Our real estate market is still burning up!!! The downside to all this that affordable housing is getting harder and harder to find. Our local government is look-ing for opportunities for upward of 1,500 affordable homes in the next 10 years.

At RAIRC, we have been very committed to affordable housing by working hand in hand with Habitat for Humanity. At the July General Membership meeting, we held the Annual Habitat Auction. Between the silent auction tables and the live auction (with auctioneer Wesley Davis), we REALTORS® were able to raise over $10,000 that evening. Thank you for all of you who attended and bid on the auction items.

Of equally important news, our newest Directors and Officers were announced at the end of the month-long voting process. We really had a great slate of candidates and RAIRC would have great leadership no matter how the ballots shook out.

Your new Directors are: Dick Davis, Troy Westover, and Kyle Von Kohorn.

The Officers are: Cheryl Goff (Sec/Tres), Ron Rennick, Jr (VP), and Mike Lafferty (Pres-Elect).

Michael Armstrong has a fantastic team backing him up for 2020.

In legal news, a Senate Bill 248 went into law and has redacted further information regarding “home addresses” related to those working in and around Criminal Justice. What this means to REALTORS® is that Ownership names, Legal descriptions, Property ID #, Lot/Block, etc…. have all been wiped out of all public records. We are working to create a resolution so that those properties can still be entered into the MLS. Stay Tuned…

Finally, I hope to see many of you at the FR state convention in Orlando later in August! Hollie Billero Buldo, Carol Hawk and Robenson Juste have been heavily involved on the state con-vention committee. They’ve put in a lot of work to make this happen. It’ll be fantastic!

Michael Kanuka NMLS #880882

Founder & President Ocean Mortgage Capital, Inc.

• We close residential mortgages on time –

20 days on average from loan submission date

• Our product focus is Conventional/FHA mortgages, but we also close loans that most banks cannot (including Private, Reverse & Bank Statement mortgages – where tax returns are not required)

• Our Conventional fees are paid by the lender, and are only paid when the loan closes

OMC is NOT volume driven, so your clients will get attention, quickly and professionally

Mike Kanuka founded Ocean Mortgage Capital (OMC) in 2012 to help creditworthy people who were:

i. not getting good, experienced, professional service from name brand national/community retail banks

ii. declined for a mortgage due to a risk-averse local bank policy that is acceptable by other lenders

iii. unaware that more competitive mortgage rates and closing costs are available elsewhere

OMC’s lenders use only licensed mortgage brokers to source their mortgage business, so they have the:

• most attractive interest rates (no corner branch buildings means less overhead and cost savings)

• largest product selection (since all they do is mortgages, they are true mortgage experts)

• best track record (closing significantly more loans than community retail banks - billions per month)

You and your buyer/seller clients are kept apprised of loan status throughout the process, and our testimonials from prior customers will attest to the fact that you won’t be disappointed with OMC.

Bio: After obtaining his undergraduate business degree in accounting from the University of Saskatchewan and an MBA from the University of Tampa (Top Graduate Award), Mike Kanuka became a licensed CPA. His finance career culminated in managing regional lending operations for the largest banks in the country. Mike was awarded Rotarian of the Year for the Rotary Club of Vero Beach (Vero’s 1st Club) two consecutive years (2015-16 and 2016-17). In 2018-19, the six-county Rotary District (comprised of 46 Rotary Clubs) awarded him President of the Year. He is married with 3 children and 3 grandchildren.

Ethics Case Interpretations related to Article 10

Case #10-1: Equal Professional

Services by the REALTOR® (Reaffirmed May, 1988. Revised May, 2017.)

A minority couple called on REALTOR® A and expressed interest in purchasing a home in the $390,000 to

$435,000 price range with at least three bedrooms, a large lot, and located in the Cedar Ridge area of town. Being familiar with Cedar Ridge through handling of

numerous listings in that area, REALTOR® A explained that houses in Cedar Ridge generally sold in the price

range from $540,000 to $660,000. The couple thereafter indicated that they would then like to see “what was

available” within their budget. After further discussion with the couple concerning their financial

circumstances and the maximum price range they could afford, REALTOR® A concluded that the couple could

not afford more than $412,500 as an absolute maximum. The couple was then shown homes which met the criteria they had described to REALTOR® A. However, although REALTOR® A discussed with the

couple the amenities and assets of each of the properties shown to them, they expressed no interest in

any of the properties shown. A few days later, the minority couple filed charges with the Professional

Standards Administrator of the Association, charging REALTOR® A with a violation of Article 10 of the Code

Ethics, alleging that REALTOR® A had violated the Article by an alleged act of racial steering in his service

to the minority couple.

The Professional Standards Administrator promptly referred the complaint to the Grievance Committee,

which conducted a preliminary review and referred the complaint for a hearing. REALTOR® A was duly noticed and provided with an opportunity to make his response

to the complaint.

At the hearing, the complainants elaborated upon their charge of the alleged racial steering by REALTOR® A,

telling the Hearing Panel that they had specifically expressed an interest in purchasing a home in the Cedar

Ridge area, but were not shown any homes in Cedar Ridge. REALTOR® A responded by producing e-mail records documenting the housing preference of the

couple as they had described it to him, including price range and demonstrating that he had shown them a

number of listings that met the requirements as expressed by them, although admittedly none of the

properties shown were located in Cedar Ridge. However, REALTOR® A explained that he had advised

the couple that there were no listings available in Cedar

Ridge falling within their budget. Further, REALTOR® A produced listing and sales information concerning

numerous homes in Cedar Ridge which confirmed an average sales price of $540,000 to $660,000. REALTOR®

A told the Hearing Panel that he had, in fact, offered equal professional service to the minority couple by showing them properties which met the criteria they had presented to him. He pointed out to the Hearing Panel that the couple was charging him with “racial

steering” which presumably they were relating to the denial of equal professional service. REALTOR® A stated, “If there were listings in Cedar Ridge in the

$390,000 to $435,000 price range with at least three bedrooms and a large lot, and I had refused to show

them such listings, then they might have a point in their charge. But there are no such listings available now, nor

have there been at any time since the original development of the Cedar Ridge area five years ago. I

could not show them what did not and does not exist.”

The Hearing Panel concluded that REALTOR® A had properly met his obligation to offer equal professional

service and was not in violation of Article 10.

Senate Introduces Bill to Extend NFIP

A bill introduced recently would extend the Sept. 30 National

Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) expiration for five years. It

includes a number of provisions and focuses on mitigation

steps, yearly premium caps, better flood mapping and rules for

companies that opt to offer private flood coverage.

While other NFIP proposals have been discussed in Congress,

this latest version would extend the NFIP for five years and

reform the program to make it more “sustainable, affordable

and efficient,” according to media releases from U.S. senators

Gillibrand and Menendez.

Along with extending NFIP for five years, this new bill – if

enacted without changes – would make the following reforms:

• Cap annual premium increases at 9%

• Provide vouchers for low- and middle-income

• Funding for more accurate flood risk mapping (LIDAR)

• Limit profits for private insurance companies

• New claims and appeals process

• Investments in flood mitigation

The National Flood Insurance Program Reauthorization Act,

passed by the House Financial Services Committee in June,

would extend the program for five years. The next stop for the

bill would be the full House.

Bill Ends VA Loan Guarantee Cap

The Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act, aimed at

extending VA health benefits, also includes language that

eliminates the cap on the VA home loan guarantee.

Ruling Stands to Strengthen Private Property Rights

Last month, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in the case of

Knick v. Township of Scott, a decision which NAR believes

will lead state and local governments to be more thoughtful

and deliberate when developing laws or regulations that could

infringe on Americans’ private property rights. Specifically, Knick v. Township of Scott declared that

plaintiffs who have accused local governments of violating the

Takings Clause of the U.S. Constitution may proceed directly

in federal court rather than first litigating in local circuits,

overturning a 34-year old precedent set by a 1985 Supreme

Court ruling.

Going forward, property owners will have both state and

federal court available to redress their property rights. NAR

expects this new development to prompt state and local

governments to be more strategic regarding takings, especially

in the areas of land use planning and environmental

regulations, in order to avoid the uncertainty of litigation in

federal court. Considerations surrounding compensation

should intensify and increase, as well.

Private Property Rights Bill Becomes Law in Florida

Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 1159 into law recently,

which includes important measures designed to protect and

promote the rights of private property owners.

HB 1159 requires county property appraisers to publish a list

of constitutionally protected property rights on their websites.

The bill also allows property owners to trim or remove trees

on their property without consequence as long as they have a

letter from a certified arborist or landscape architect stating the

tree is a danger. The measures included in the bill become

effective on July 1, 2019.
