President’s Message

It’s safe to say a great time was

had by all at the golf outing. I

had ordered great weather but

you never know if Mother

Nature will cooperate. Golf was

great and the food was

wonderful! Inshalla and

Outboard’s did a great job.

Congratulations go out to this

year’s scholarship winners. We are now 4

years into our renewable scholarship

program and this year, we will award

nearly $4,000 to 14 students – all children

of NWAR members. A HUGE congrats also

goes out to Peter Bushman, Sandy Ebben

and Jim Mulleady Sr. who recently earned

REALTOR Emeritus status - it’s quite an

accomplishment! Thanks again to Cheryl

Eskridge for her ceaseless efforts to pull

together some great auction items to

benefit RPAC.

The votes were tallied and we welcomed

new Officers and Directors to our board.

Lastly, we welcomed aboard

over a dozen new REALTORS.

Fa nta s t ic to s ee our

membership continue to

grow! Our next general

membership event will be on

September 27. Please save the

date to join us for the annual

Installation Dinner.

We recently partnered with the ArtStart

program in Rhinelander to help them

rehab a public space next to their

building. They will soon need our help

with landscaping and planting. If you can

help, please notify Christy Schneider or

Matt and thank you in advance!

Things are CRAZY busy and time is flying

but don’t forget to take some time to

enjoy the beautiful Northwoods we are

lucky to call home. Summer is fleeting…

Happy Summer! With the temps

getting hotter, the real estate market

in the Northwoods sure seems to be

rising as well. Hope that everyone

finds time to enjoy the summer,

amidst the fast pace of real estate.

Special thanks to Matt and Lon for

a n o t h e r s u c c e s s f u l G e n e r a l

you as well to those serving as

candidates in this year’s officer and

Seller Disclosure Reports – Please

take a moment and check out the very

exciting news in the WRA Magazine.

New and improved Seller Disclosure

Reports coming soon! The WRA has

worked very hard on these updates

and I think we will all be very pleased

with the changes.

Policy changes – Standalone homes

and vacant land part of condo

associations may now be entered with

a property type of Single Family

Detached or land, but the title field

must always include “Condominium”

for accurate appraiser and comp

searches. The MLS now allows for

offsite basic training and beginning

July 1, will allow for agent waivers for

those who do not wish to participate in

GNMLS. Call the Board office about

details and requirements.

SentriLock – FYI they are now

updating listing and agent data

several times each day in the system.

Xposure - Searches of MLS listings

are available to consumers through

our website. The Board is discussing

ways to promote this to public. Please

be sure you have uploaded a good

portrait of yourself to show the public

– or email it to the Board office.

God Bless America,

Adam

President’s Message

2017 Wis. Act 338, effective July 1, 2018, updates the contents of the Real Estate Condition Reports (RECR) and Vacant Land Disclosure

Reports (VLDR). The legislation focuses on when the report is furnished to the buyer and tells us a report needs to be on an updated

form if the buyer is furnished with the report on or after July 1, 2018. Sellers should not provide buyers a copy of the new form until July

1, 2018.

Therefore, new versions of the RECR and VLDR with the updated content must be used when condition reports are furnished to buyers

on or after July 1, 2018. For any reports already given out to buyers before July 1, there is no need to go back and provide a new form.

If the buyer has been provided the RECR or VLDR before July 1, 2018 - no further action need be taken

If the seller has completed the RECR or VLDR before July 1, 2018, and the buyer will not be provided the RECR/VLDR until July 1, 2018 or after, then the seller must complete a new RECR/VLDR

For example, a new version of the RECR or VLDR would be put out on the counter at the property for showings and open houses and

included as an associated document on the MLS beginning July 1.

The WRA’s updated RECR and VLDR forms will be available on zipForm and in hard copy no later than the week of June 18.

Read these June 2018 Wisconsin Real Estate Magazine articles for more info:

RPAC Fundraiser Results - THANK YOU!

By RPAC Chair Cheryl Eskridge

This year’s RPAC Silent Auction raised the bar yet

again thanks to the generosity of our donors and

bidders. We greatly appreciate the contributions

of everyone who participated, and a special thanks

to Jennai’ Rusch and Denise Goldsworthy for

helping setup and close out the auction. While we

started off on a high note again, we are counting

on everyone to include the RPAC investment when

you renew your NWAR Membership later this year

to help reach our annual goal.

Note that all donors who give $100 or more can put

it into Direct Giver and decide how your money is

spent, and donors of $99+ may attend a free RPAC

Recognition Breakfast at the WRA Convention in

September. Every donation of any amount helps

toward our goal, so thank you to everyone for

helping us reach it again in 2018!

Photos: Our MLS now enjoys the

capacity of including up to 99 photos.

The optimal sizing is 1280 x 960 pixels

as shown in the photo upload process.

Some listings are displaying an

abundance of photos, sometimes more

than 50. My caution is that an agent may

not make the best impression with

customers by including a plethora of

images, many of which are essentially

the same. We see slightly different

angles, lighting or just duplicates

slowing down the customers’ online

experience. Photos should not be

highlighting furnishings, wildlife, etc.

that are not for sale. Of course you may

post the number you feel is appropriate

to the listing, but be careful to avoid

frustrating customers with duplications

rather than focusing on the major

attributes of the property.

We recommend you strive to present

the best you have in the first dozen or so

photos before adding any that are

similar to the first ones.

AE Corner MLS Memo

The late winter slowed everything

down including hiring, but NWAR has

gained a dozen new REALTORS since

the start of May and are back above 400

REALTOR Members. We welcome each

of them as well as new Affiliates Jeanne

Smith of Oneida Title, Pam Jansen of

CoVantage Credit Union and new

Sponsor Aaron Lagadyn of Tres Labs.

Please view their contact info above

and give them and/or our other

Affiliates and Sponsors a call to learn

how they can help you or just to thank

them for their fine support for our

organization. Some serve on our

board, many sponsor our events and

classes, and some even teach classes

themselves. We truly appreciate all our

Affiliates and Sponsors - THANK YOU!

If you have any real estate-related

business partners who may be

interested in becoming a NWAR

REALTORS® on the Move

This past weekend, the Northwoods and neighboring

areas saw firsthand just how close to home floods can

strike and with little notice. The National Flood

Insurance Program (NFIP) will expire on July 31,

denying necessary insurance coverage to homeowners

and buyers in more than 20,000 communities

nationwide. Congress must act now to reform and

extend the NFIP. CLICK HERE to take action by

urging Congress to extend the NFIP and pass

meaningful reforms to ensure long-term viability of

the program.

1 New NWAR REALTOR

^ Closed MLS Office * New MLS Office

NWAR offers our praise to Peter Bushman, Sandy

Ebben and Jim Mulleady Sr. who recently earned

REALTOR Emeritus status by maintaining membership

for 40+ years and serving their fellow REALTORS as an

association leader. They join four other NWAR

Members who earned Emeritus status over the past

few years, and with little time to spare since NAR is

raising the bar to join this exclusive club in 2019 and

beyond by requiring service at the national level.

If you have been a REALTOR for 40+ years

(consecutive or cumulative) and have volunteered with

a local, state or the national association, please contact

the board office so we can verify your qualifications

and petition NAR to hopefully approve you for

REALTOR Emeritus status before the end of 2018.

NWAR applauds and extends our gratitude to all our

REALTORS Emeritus for their decades of distinguished

service to customers, clients and fellow REALTORS!

2018 Golf Outing, Election Dinner & RPAC Auction Recap Fortune favored us again this year with warm, sunny weather for the 90+ golfers and 150+ diners who turned out at Inshalla Country Club in Tomahawk for our busiest event of the year. Hat’s off to our fantastic volunteers: Erik Johnson who ran the golf outing and Jennifer Nerva of Tomahawk Community Bank who hosted the putting contest, RPAC Chair Cheryl Eskridge, Jennai’ Rusch and Denise Goldsworthy for setting up and closing out our RPAC fundraiser auction, and of course event emcee and NWAR President Shelly Cole. Many thanks as well to our generous golf and auction sponsors below for helping to make this a huge and rewarding event for many who attended.

Reclaiming the Jim Tait Memorial Cup after a 4-year hiatus was Mike Brandner and the Gowey Title team. Congrats to each of them and putting contest winner Adam Karcz who holed out his qualifier, then nearly repeated the feat to snag a huge prize of $426 in the final. We also sent Linda Choinski home with a smile after winning $267 in our RPAC 50/50 drawing, and Judi Schmidt Arnold finally saw a return on her many years of entering the tablet PC drawing by snagging the Acer Switch Alpha 12. Thank you to everyone who helped us set a new record for our RPAC fundraiser!

While all the above was going on, Shelly also found time to induct a baker’s dozen of new REALTORS and on the other end of the spectrum, she recognized 2 REALTORS in attendance - Sandy Ebben and Jim Mulleady Sr - as REALTORS Emeritus for 40+ years of service. Shelly’s daughter Dakota and Brenda Thompson’s daughter Olivia also accepted NWAR Family Scholarships and read some excerpts from their applications. We wish all our scholarship winners the best in their studies and are proud to support over a dozen new and past winners this year! Thank you again to everyone who attended and we hope to see you again at Holiday Acres in Rhinelander on 9/27 - mark your calendars and watch for details in an upcoming newsletter!

2018 Golf Outing, Election Dinner & RPAC Auction Photos

Shelly & Brenda brought their Mini-Mes daughters Dakota & Olivia who each earned a 2018 NWAR Family Scholarship. Best of luck to both as they strive to measure up to their exceptional moms!

Mike Brandner & the Gowey Title team earned a third engraving on the Jim Tait Memorial Trophy. That’s one more than 2018 repeat US Open winner Brooks Koepka!

While they haven’t reached the 40-year mark like Pete, Sandy & Jim (see page 4), Sue Crall & Judi Schmidt Arnold did take home 25- and 35-year anniversary pins respectively. Both beamed with the same youthful smiles as our new inductees and scholarship winners, so we fully expect to be handing them 40-year pins some-day if we codgers at the board office can keep up until then!

“Why can’t every day be NWAR/GNMLS Golf Outing & Election Dinner day?” pondered Linda Choinski while fanning out the cash she won in the 50/50 drawing. Well Linda, it’s because Lon and I would be dead by then!

NWAR President Shelly Cole greets the 150+ in attendance before reminding each that her bank offers competitive rates and an assortment of convenient financing options. NWAR is fortunate to have many terrific Affiliate Members who have our backs and, at times, our fronts too!

Lon busted out the panoramic lens to capture our big group of new REALTOR inductees (L->R): Bob Rentmeester, Brian Pagani, Tim Riley, Dick Farrell, Marisa Hagemann, Elicia Seliskar, Dave Duncan, Ann Dembowiak, Karen Roth (with Shelly’s legs via pixel magic by yours truly), Tom Hegeholz, Rachel Dreger, Rae Edinger & Dan Buckley. We welcome each to NWAR and invite them to contact the board office for help retouching their listing photos (be sure to ask for Lon).

BIG thumbs up to volunteers Jennifer Nerva, Cheryl Eskridge & Jennai’ Rusch who made our putting contest and RPAC auction a BIG success!

President-Elect Ron Welnetz’s smile belied his concern that it will soon be his job to emcee our huge events! Fear not, Ron - it’s just 150 people or so hanging on your every word!

Who told Tynan there was a best golf costume contest?
